Monsanto has 9.9% equity stake in EVGN, according to today’s 13G filing:

Presumably, MON and EVGN want to keep MON’s stake just below the 10% threshold that would mandate additional SEC reporting.

EVGN inks corn-seed collaboration with DD, but no financial terms were disclosed:

The scope of the agreement includes the research and development of microbiome-based seed treatments in corn. The goal of the collaboration is to provide farmers with innovative bio-stimulant seed treatment products that protect and maximize corn yield by leveraging each other’s relevant market-leading technologies.

EVGN is +1% today.
