Combatting soil salinity with Salicrop’s seed enhancement technology for climate-resilient farming

Soil salinity is a growing global crisis, affecting 1.4 billion hectares of land and threatening food security for millions. 

According to a recent UN-FAO report, 10% of the world's irrigated cropland is already salt-affected, with projections indicating further deterioration due to climate change and unsustainable agricultural practices. As salinity levels rise, crop productivity declines, leaving farmers with fewer harvests and increasing economic uncertainty.

The Salinity Challenge in Agriculture

Salt-affected soils contain high levels of soluble salts or exchangeable sodium, disrupting plant growth and reducing yields. In heavily impacted regions, crops such as rice, wheat, and vegetables suffer yield losses of up to 70%, making it difficult for farmers to sustain their livelihoods. Countries such as India, Australia, China, and the U.S. face particularly high risks, while coastal regions worldwide are seeing increasing salinization due to rising sea levels.

Salicrop’s Solution: Enhancing Seeds for Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Salicrop is committed to providing sustainable solutions that enable farmers to combat soil salinity and ensure food security. 

Salicrop’s seed enhancement technology strengthens crop resilience by:

✔ Improving germination and early growth under saline and drought-prone conditions.

✔ Enhancing nutrient uptake, leading to better crop development and higher yields.

✔ Ensuring flexibility for local crop varieties.

Introducing "Salt Gaurd" for Rice Cultivaton -  The Future of On-Site Seed Enhancement

Salicrop’s approch to enhancing rice is a liquid seed enhancement solution that allows farmers to treat their seeds on-site, reducing logistical challenges and ensuring cost-effective implementation. This solution is particularly beneficial for smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia, where rice cultivation is heavily impacted by salinity.

By customizing the enhancement process for local rice varieties, Salicrop provides farmers with a flexible, scalable, and easy-to-use technology.

Driving Impact Across Global Agricultural Regions

Salicrop’s work spans key agricultural regions including India, Spain, Portugal,  Argentina and Southeast Asia, where it collaborates with leading partners to:

• Introduce climate-resilient enhancement

  
  

• Scale up sustainable practices through partnerships with seed companies and cooperatives.

  
  

• Continue research and innovation to develop next-generation seed enhancements.

Join Salicrop in Securing the Future of Agriculture

The fight against soil salinity requires collaboration. Governments, agribusinesses, researchers, and farmers must work together to implement innovative solutions that sustain global food production.

Salicrop believes in harnessing science and technology to create a more resilient agricultural system. 

Salicrop’s seed enhancement solutions are paving the way for a sustainable future, ensuring farmers can continue to feed the world despite the challenges of climate change.
