The Biggest Problem Facing Farmers Today

    Over the past fifty years, the continuous overuse of chemical fertilizers and the dwindling annual supply of organic manure have caused the soil’s organic carbon content to drop drastically from 1% down to 0.4%. Consequently, the soil has become compacted, hindering root growth and drastically reducing water retention capacity. There has also been a significant decline in soil microorganisms and beneficial bacteria, leading to a steady decrease in agricultural productivity.

    No matter how many nutrients or chemical fertilizers are applied, the essential elements required by crops fail to reach them effectively, often washing away with rainwater instead. This critical degradation directly affects human, animal, and environmental health.

    • High organic carbon (>1%)
    • Rich microbial activity
    • Loose, aerated structure
    • Optimal water retention    		• Organic carbon dropped to 0.4%
    • Compacted, hardpan soil
    • Nutrient runoff and poor absorption
    • Diminishing crop productivity

    What is Khetika?

    “It’s more valuable than oil — it’s our soil”
    HEALTHY SOIL, PROSPEROUS AGRICULTURE!

    To overcome the severe crisis of soil degradation, Khetika has been developed by Pratyagra Soil Care Limited. Khetika works solely and dedicatedly to restore and improve soil health.

    Khetika is a chemo-organic product of international quality, manufactured using a unique proprietary process. It primarily contains high-grade carbon along with Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid, and a specialized Soil Softener. It is also characterized as nano-carbon or an exceptionally concentrated form of carbon.

    Key ComponentPrimary Function & Role
    Concentrated Carbon / Nano-CarbonActs as the primary food source preferred by soil microorganisms and restores biological fertility.
    Humic AcidStimulates root expansion, enhances nutrient chelation, and increases cation exchange capacity.
    Fulvic AcidFacilitates ultra-rapid nutrient absorption at cellular plant levels and supports physiological vigor.
    Soil SoftenerDecompacts hardpan soils, improves porosity, increases water percolation, and prevents surface crusting.

    Benefits of Using Khetika

    • Rapid Microbial Growth: Tillage leads to a rapid increase in the population of soil microorganisms, making dormant organic carbon readily bio-available for crop uptake.
    • Soft & Friable Soil in 30 Days: Within 30 days of application, the soil becomes loose, soft, and friable, resulting in a dramatic surge in root biomass and branching.
    • Regulated Soil Temperature: Enhanced continuous air circulation within the soil matrix helps reduce root-zone soil temperature during extreme heat.
    • Water-Holding Capacity +12%: The soil’s water retention capacity increases up to 12%, significantly buffering crops against drought stress and moisture shortages.
    • Save Up to 20% on Fertilizers: Improved aeration and porosity facilitate efficient uptake of organic and chemical nutrients, reducing requirement of other fertilizers by up to 20%.
    • Proven in Saline Soils: Performs robustly and effectively even under challenging saline and alkaline soil conditions.
    • Higher Yield & Shelf-Life for Tuber Crops: In underground crops (potatoes, onions, ginger, turmeric), it notably enhances root size, weight, uniformity, and post-harvest shelf life.
    • Immunity & Stress Resistance: Significantly boosts the natural defense mechanisms and resilience of crops against pests, diseases, and climatic fluctuations.
    • Higher Economic Return: Field trials prove an overall increase in crop production by 15% to 20% with healthier root architectures.

    Proven Field Results on Sugarcane

    • Vegetative Foliage Growth: Leaf length increased up to 1.79 cm and leaf width up to 1.22 cm compared to untreated control plots.
    • Node & Girth Development: Applying Khetika to soil showed remarkable improvement in cane nodes and girth development. Treated plots recorded a 0.99 cm greater girth and increased internode count.
    • Sugarcane Yield Surge: Plots treated with Khetika yielded 15% more sugarcane by weight compared to standard control conditions.
    • Higher Sugar Recovery (Brix): Delivered a measurable 0.3-unit increase in sugarcane Brix levels, ensuring superior recovery rates for mills and higher value for growers.
    • Soil Health & Uptake: Post-harvest soil analysis verified significantly enriched nutritional profiles and enhanced nutrient absorption capacity.
