Abiotic stress mitigation in onions
Changing climates mean higher temperatures, periods of drought and higher salinity are becoming an increasing problem for farmers.
To mitigate the impact of these abiotic stresses on certain crops, our seed enhancement business, Incotec, developed a microplasticfree, bio-based and fully degradable new seed treatment. Trials demonstrated improved germination under stress conditions, and up to 10% increase in crop yield has been realised, shown through customer field trials of bunching onions in Mexico.
Case studies
Improving performance by humanising safety
Involvement and engagement have increased, and longstanding infrastructure and operational issues are being addressed following a pilot Human Performance Programme at our site in Thane, India.
Life cycle assesment
Supporting our customers to realise the benefits of LCA meant that in 2022 we began developing our LCA Centre of Excellence, supporting sectors in examining the risks and benefits of their portfolios....
