Tomato

Salicrop and Bayer have embarked on a strategic collaboration in India, focusing on enhancing the yield and resilience of tomato and pepper crops. This partnership leverages Salicrop's innovative seed enhancement technology, which has been proven to improve crop performance under challenging conditions such as salinity and heat stress.

The collaboration involves large-scale field trials across various regions in India, targeting specific smallholder farmers who can benefit most from this technology. With Bayer's extensive network and expertise in agricultural development, and Salicrop's cutting-edge solutions, the partnership aims to significantly boost agricultural productivity and sustainability in the region.

In 2022, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Innovation Authority, extensive trials were conducted, yielding impressive results that have paved the way for commercialization. The enhanced seeds have shown a remarkable 10-25% increase in yield, even in soils with high salinity, and have proven to be particularly effective in the diverse climatic conditions found across India.
