We implemented and scaled the use of AWD (Alternate Wetting & Drying) & Direct Seeding techniques amongst the smallholder commu- nity. To ensure there was no yield loss, our field team monitored the depth of ponded water in the field using field water tube. AWD/DSR helped reduce water consumption. It helps reduce incidences of pests & diseases thereby improving yield quality. To top it off we leverage farm mechanization to fast-track seeding process, eliminating manual labor, ensure farmers safety .
Project Scale: 300,000 acres
No. of years: 2
Geography: Punjab, Haryana, AP & Telangana.
Estimate carbon credit generation of 0.83 unit per acre
Reduced water & energy consumption by 15 to 30% per acre depending on soil type
nurture.farm is working with Sugar mills and their captive farmers to adopt sustainable sugarcane cultivation practices which increase the row to row and plant to plant spacing. We will ensure the implementation of scientific package of practice, which includes the use of hydrogel Zeba which reduces plant abiotic stress and along with the growth promoters and the crop protection solutions will improve the yield by 25%. nurture.farm will also work with the farmers to avoid burning of the crop residue.
Project Scale: 10,000 acres We will scale it up to 100,000 acres by Jan 2023
Estimate carbon credit generation of 0.8 unit per acre
