At PanAridus, we make seeds--and those seeds grow into guayule bushes--and eventually into the products made with natural rubber. But first come the seeds. PanAridus has the largest number of privately owned guayule strains in the world. By combining the bio-sciences of genetics and selective breeding, PanAridus has unlocked the key to growing a higher yield of domestic guayule per acre than from imported hevea rubber, and grown more inexpensively than synthetic rubber--which is made from petroleum. (graph comparing PanAridus yield per acre to hevea) It’s our goal to use the scientific expertise borne from our extensive research to make the guayule plant profitable for farmers to grow in arid regions around the globe, using previously unusable farmland for a drought tolerant plant that gets turned into one of the most important commodities on the planet.
