Demonstration scenario

A Three-Season Soil Restoration Plan for a Degraded 35-Acre Block

A block showing classic exhaustion symptoms — hardening topsoil, declining fertiliser response, visible stress in dry spells — after years of intensive rice–wheat cropping with residue burning.

Client type: Landowner with degraded parcel
Region: North India (illustrative)
Acreage: 35 acres
Crop: Paddy / Wheat
Timeline: Three seasons, in progress (illustrative)

Starting baseline

Low soil organic carbon on initial testing
Rising urea and DAP doses with flat yields
Residue burned after both harvests
No irrigation-water management data

Intervention

01
Residue retention and incorporation replacing burning
02
Restoration programme: stabilised organic matter + humic/fulvic conditioning + microbial consortium
03
Nutrient plan rebuilt against annual soil tests
04
Satellite vegetation monitoring for stress detection between field visits

What the programme establishes

Practice change

Zero burning

Both harvest residues retained

Input trend

Declining synthetic load

Staged reduction under agronomist supervision

Monitoring

Continuous

Satellite indices + scheduled soil testing

Carbon readiness

Baseline built

Documented practices and measured soil baseline

Demonstration scenarioThis case study is a demonstration built to show how the operating model is applied. It does not describe a specific client, and the outcomes listed describe what the programme establishes rather than measured results achieved for a customer. We publish verified client results only with documented evidence and the client's consent.

Next Step

Establish your own baseline

Every programme starts the same way: an honest field assessment of where the farm actually stands today.
