Crops & Solutions

PQNK has been field-tested across more than twenty crops. Explore our flagship guides below, with more added regularly.

More Crops Under PQNK

Potato

A production and economics comparison: mulch-based no-till planting versus conventional deep-burial ridging.

Mango

Post-harvest handling advisory and pruning guidance, drawn from real farmer questions on our WhatsApp learning group.

Banana

Grown successfully through extreme cold and heat in the Nainital foothills — proof that banana is soil-limited, not climate-limited.

Olive

Two orchard paths under PQNK — high-density irrigated planting, or a clever rainwater-harvesting system for dry, sloping land.

Rose

A perennial cash flower crop grown through PQNK's closed-loop, no-external-input system.

Chilli

A rediscovered perennial: chilli can keep fruiting for a decade or more once soil biology — not chemistry — is restored.

Onion & Garlic

Raised beds enabling 4x planting density — real farmers reporting garlic yields near Rs. 1 million per acre.

Black Carrot

Grown under contract farming for nutraceutical anthocyanin extraction — quality tuned through cold and mild water stress.

Amla

High-density amla orchards using a closed-loop, zero-external-input system — including a one-time acid correction step.

Bamboo

A commercial factsheet crop: 60–100 years of productive life from one planting, at 6–15 tons of biomass per acre per year.

Castor

High-density bio-fuel crop, delivering 6–12 harvests from a single 3–5 year planting.

Watermelon

A deliberate trade: PQNK watermelon takes longer to mature, in exchange for higher natural sugar content and longer shelf life.

Motha Grass

Reframing a "cancer weed": motha grass is a soil-emergency indicator, not an enemy to be sprayed.

Agroforestry

Reframing Eucalyptus: soil biology, not species choice, decides whether a tree helps or harms the land.

Vegetables — One Acre Prosperity

A PQNK guide for smallholders growing vegetables on small plots, including circular production cropping plans.
