Precision Plants is an agricultural biotechnology company developing precision-bred hemp varieties optimized for UK growing conditions using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing.

Three commercial varieties are in development: BritGrain Auto (grain hemp, 1.8-2.4 t/ha yield), LongLine Fibre (fibre hemp, 8-12 t/ha straw yield), and YieldMax Duo (dual-purpose grain and fibre). The company has secured £912,259 in non-dilutive government funding through DEFRA's Farming Innovation Programme and operates with partnerships from Rothamsted Research, University of Hertfordshire, and Innovate UK. Field trials began in 2025 at Rothamsted Research facilities. Seed availability for UK farmers is planned for 2032.
