Through a natural selective breeding process, Yulex Corporation has developed varieties of superior guayule plants that reach maturity twice as quickly and produce double the latex yield as compared to guayule plants from earlier commercial endeavors. This combination of rapid plant cycles and increased rubber yield per plant has effectively quadrupled product yields on a per acre basis since the 1980's making it a cash crop for farmers. As the owner of the only commercial enterprise that maintains the germplasm for these lines of guayule, Yulex continues to develop technologies that further increase natural rubber and product yield from guayule.
In addition, Yulex biotech enhancements have optimized guayule for maximum latex and product production and for the economic manufacture of medical devices and consumer products from its latex, marketed as Yulex® natural rubber.
