Helping seeds thrive in diverse soil conditions
SaliCrop's formulation is applied at early growth stages as a seed enhancement, stimulating a reaction that increases the plant's capability to endure salinity, heat, and drought conditions.
​
Salicrop's environmentally friendly solution is creating a reaction cascade spread systemically in the plant to induce a long-term effect on the plant.
​
Salicrop has more than 100 tested protocols and has increased up to 30% yield in salinity conditions of tomatoes, peppers, spinach, rice, maize, and wheat
Rice
Since 2018, Salicrop has conducted Rice Paddy field trials in Indian villages within a 10 Km radius in East Godavari District in Southern India. ​
The area is known for its saline soil due to nearby fisheries and ponds.
​
The trial was conducted and monitored by NITSAN sustainable development lab at Tel Aviv University in Israel, and Vijayavahini Charitable Foundation, powered by Tata Trusts in India.
Trails show a clear improvement of productive tillers in the treated farms of 15%-19%, depending on the sample area.
Wheat
Among abiotic stresses, salinity stress especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world is one the major threats to the sustainability of wheat production.
About 36% of the world's population is dependent on wheat as a staple food. ​Among various field crops, wheat is more sensitive to salinity.
Various climate models projected that wheat production could decrease by 6% due to stressful environments.
​
Salicrop conducted few successful wheat field trials in fields that faced Salinity, heat & drought stress. Yield Increase: 5% - 15%
Mize/Corn
Corn is moderately sensitive to salinity and is considered the most salt-sensitive of the cereals.
Our Trails in Kibbutz Yotvata in the southern tip of Israel is facing extreme desert conditions with a dry, hot, and salty environment. Our field results showes:
Treated seeds at EC=5 yielded 57% more marketable corn cobs than untreated.
Treated seeds at EC=2.5 yielded 23% more marketable corn cobs than untreated
Processed Tomato
Tomato is a crop with the greatest economic importance in the world and salinity stress causes are reduction in the quantity and quality of crop production.
​
Salicrop's latest field trial from 2021 with Kibbutz Maoz Haim shows an increase of 60% in the yield of seeds treated with Salicrop's technology as compared to untreated seeds in a field suffering from salinity stress.
