What we do
Our formulations are based on trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) a natural plant sugar-based molecule that acts as a signalling compound. The product, applied by spray, enables farmers to enhance carbon allocation in the crop and increase yield.
Our technology is based on 20 years of cutting-edge science by Rothamsted Research and Oxford University, and we have an exclusive worldwide licence to it.

Our Specialty
OUR PIPELINE OF PRODUCTS
Our first product is targeted at wheat. Glasshouse results published in Nature in 2016 show yield increases of up to 20% under typical water conditions. Initial field trials have established proof-of-concept and further trials are being commissioned in 2022 to determine optimal application rate and other use conditions.
The T6P mechanism is universal in all plants and we are investigating the use of our technology in a wide range of crops. We have the potential and ambition to build a very large market, and are looking to rapidly expand our R&D pipeline through strategic partnerships.

Our story
THE SUGAROX MISSION
To increase the productivity, resilience, sustainability and profitability of crop production
Food security will become one of the biggest challenges faced by humanity as the global population is projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. Crop yields will have to grow by up to 60% in developed countries and 200% in developing ones.
At SugaROx we are developing biostimulants to help farmers optimise productivity from every unit of agricultural land and improve the resilience of crop systems amidst adverse weather conditions such as drought.
