The headquarters of the Monsanto Company in St. Louis, Missouri, have Greenhouses.
From 2008 to 2017: Xiang Haitao worked for Monsanto.
The DOJ said he stole a secret program and was going to pass it on to China.
The US believes that China is trying to steal US intelligence.
The Justice Department said a Chinese scientist admitted stealing trade secrets from Monsanto.
The Climate Corporation and Monsanto worked on a secret algorithm known as the "Nutrient Optimizer" while Xiang Haitao was an employee of Monsanto, according to court documents.
The DOJ said that the algorithm helped farmers.
The department said that before leaving the company, Xiang downloaded a copy of the algorithm and flew to China on a one-way ticket.
The department said that law-enforcement officers searched his electronics at the airport, but he was allowed to leave the US.
The DOJ said that investigators concluded that one of the electronic devices contained copies of the Nutrient Optimizer.
The department said that US law-enforcement officials were able to arrest Xiang after he returned to the US.
The department said that Xiang pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit economic espionage. He could face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $5 million fine.
The Institute of Soil Science in China was run by the Chinese Academy of Science.
The materials were intended to be passed on to the Chinese government. The "Nutrient Optimizer" is not certain if the government was able to use it.
Despite his agreements to protect Monsanto's intellectual property and repeated training on his obligations to do so, Xiang has admitted that he stole a trade secret from Monsanto, transferred it to a memory card and attempted to take it to the People's Republic of China.
Insider reported in October that the US National Counterintelligence and Security Center identified bioeconomy as one of the key areas where China is trying to steal US intelligence.
"These sectors produce technologies that may determine whether America remains the world's leading superpower or is overtaken by strategic competitors in the next few years," the NCSC said.
The protection of intellectual property is essential for innovation, according to a spokesman for Monsanto.
China's foreign ministry said the US was using the case to make a baseless claim that China conducts widespread espionage in the US.
"We oppose the US side's attempts to use the case to hype up claims of China's organized and systematic attempts to steal intellectual property from the US," spokesman Geng Shuang said.
