Burning of crop
residue
Alkalinity of soils
3. DROUGHT
Skewed distribution of rainfall – 40% deficit from June-
August which is the sowing season
Depletion of ground water situation
Untimely heavy rains during Sept – Oct affects the crops
Lack of Rainfall during November-December adversely
affects Rabi sowings

12. Way Forward: BIOCHAR
Biochar is another name for
charcoal used for purposes
other than combustion.
Like all charcoal, biochar is
created by the pyrolysis of
biomass.
15. BIOCHARCULTURE
Biocharculture is a holistic approach that has
been historically tested, traditionally
practiced, is culturally integral, economically
viable, socially responsible, environmentally
sustainable, and agreeable as a policy.
The uses of biochar—as part of
biocharculture—include its application in the
areas of soil management, livestock, biomass
energy, water purification, green habitats,
sanitation, food, health, etc.
16. BIOCHARCULTURE
ADAPTATION BENEFITS
Securing the crop
from drought and
climate variabiiity
Reclaim the
degraded soils
water conservation
Lessen the impact of
hazardous pesticides
and complex
chemicals
reducing emissions
and increasing the
carbon
sequestration
Conversion of
biomass into
biochar
Increase in crop
yield
increases in C, N,
pH, and available P
to the plants
Impacts of biochar
last more than 1000
years.
18. SUSTAINABILITY OF
BIOCHAR
Biocharculture integration
into traditional and local
practices should be
encouraged. Encouraging
local communities to produce
and use biochar with locally
available raw material is
considered sustainable.
Biochar blends are mostly
organic / natural
34. ADVANTAGES OF BIOCHAR URBAN
GARDENS
Less weight and insulation

Utilization of urban organic
waste for biochar compost.

56. Why Drought Tolerant
Plants
Drought tolerant plants are not limited to cacti
and succulents. There are thousands of species
of beautiful flowers, shrubs, vines and ground
covers that are “un” thirsty and could save more
than 50% of the water used in a more
traditional landscape. Drought tolerant
gardening also involves sensible management
like installation of drip irrigation systems,
timers, water sensors, and above all, MULCH!
Mulching and composting beds will improve
soil quality, reduce evaporation and encourage
better water absorption. Native plants, those
plants which naturally grow in our climate,
need only about half as much water as most
exotic species. They also provide habitat for
our native birds and butterflies.

Biochar has been in use in parts of India for centuries. Biochar is added along with FYM or compost every year. As the retention time of biochar in soil is very high, the impact is cumulative. In many villages in India, agriculture is at least a few hundred years old. The existing biochar in the soil found in the majority of the fields is a cumulative contribution of the farmers – sometimes intentionally and other times by chance. Biochar is found in all types of soils. As this practice has become traditional, it is sustainable, and can be applied irrespective of climate and soil conditions. Biochar or biochar compost can be applied to the soil in different ways.
Water table could be below 15 cms from the surface level
