Summary

The project generates solutions to the diseased arecanut trees in the Garo Hills region of Meghalaya, northeastern part of India. Areca nut cultivation forms the bedrock of the local economy, but the airborne disease has devasted impacts plantation and on the farmers' livelihood. The project converts dead areca nut trees into biochar through controlled pyrolysis at ~450–550°C under limited oxygen conditions. This process stabilizes biogenic carbon, preventing methane emissions from natural decay while producing a carbon-rich soil amendment that enhances soil structure and nutrient retention. While the disease is preventable, once the plants succumb, there is no alternative. Currently, the farmers are not able to utilize the dead stems that are lying and degrading naturally, leading to termite infestation. The farmers are also not using the land where the dead stems are standing. This presents an opportunity for Biochar production and exploring local application using soil mineralization.
