Save Foods, Inc. announced the filing of a US patent application by its majority-owned subsidiary, NTwo Off Ltd. (?NTwo Off?, formerly Nitrousink Ltd.) on January 11, 2024, aimed at revolutionizing wheat production. The patent application represents NTwo Off?s goal to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of agriculture, specifically targeting the reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in wheat farming. The patented technology refers to methodologies of effectively mitigating nitrous oxide emissions during wheat cultivation.

By implementing this innovative approach, NTwo Off hopes to reduce farmers' environmental footprint while enhancing their sustainability of operations. NTwo Off has identified and isolated two naturally occurring bacteria species that can reduce N2O emissions under various environmental conditions from wheat roots. NTwo Off?s R&D team is currently testing its technology under greenhouse conditions with the aim of finding the optimal formula for reducing N2O emission in wheat crops.

NTwo Off intends to continue its testing in micro field plots using different soils, dosages, and formulations for a variety of crops. According to Our World in Data, N2O, known as the ?forgotten greenhouse gas", is 265 times more powerful at warming the planet than carbon dioxide.
