Don’t burn it. Bury it. 🌾

Paddy stubble does not have to become smoke.

Using a Super Seeder allows farmers to mix crop residue back into the soil instead of burning it. This helps retain nutrients, improve soil health and reduce input costs for the next crop.

For Punjab’s farmers:

• Keep nutrients in the field
• Improve soil health
• Reduce input costs
• Prevent stubble-burning pollution
• Avoid fines and legal action

This is not only about environmental compliance.
It is about better farming.

See stubble burning in your area?
Report it to EPA Punjab Helpline 1373.
