Tecrea Ltd. is proud to announce the successful completion of the Scaling Out for Impact (SOFI 2) program, in collaboration with a South African-based company. The SOFI2 program aims to accelerate the development and deployment of affordable, accessible innovative solutions around the food, energy, and water nexus through UK-South African partnerships. By focusing on scaling out the impact of these solutions, the program ensures wide reach and far-reaching benefits for communities.
As part of the SOFI2 program, Tecrea has been working diligently to further develop Sanzone, a revolutionary seed coating product built using our Nanocin platform technology. Sanzone is designed to efficiently generate high-quality seeds by decontaminating them and protecting them from infection. This product is not only cheap and easy to use but also non-toxic, making it an ideal solution for farmers seeking sustainable agricultural practices.
Sanzone has undergone rigorous testing in both Zimbabwe and South Africa, demonstrating non-inferiority compared to untreated controls and showing potential improvements in crop growth vigour and yield. These promising results highlight the benefits of Sanzone, including reduced losses and enhanced growth without the need for additional fertiliser, makes it a valuable tool for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability.
