Applied to moist soil when crop roots are active
Carbon feeds beneficial soil microbes, boosting activity
Improves nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and uptake
Significantly enhances root biomass and crop performance
Modern agriculture depends heavily on urea, DAP, and NPK fertilizers, causing soil fertility to decline and nutrient use efficiency to drop below 30%.
Excessive fertilizer use leads to loss of topsoil, declining organic carbon, poor microbial activity, increased methane emissions, and higher water and energy usage dangerously threatening food security.
Reduced soil health increases government subsidy burdens and demands innovative solutions, i nspiring the development of Khetika to address these pressing issues.
01
They reduce farmers’ dependency on synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, lowering input costs.
02
These factors contribute to long-term cost savings and income gains for farmers, making farming more economically viable and sustainable.
03
Healthier, softer soil improves water infiltration and retention, leading to less water and electricity usage for irrigation.
04
Sustainable agriculture practices can boost crop yields by over 20% through improved soil health and precision nutrient management.
