Abstract: To optimize agricultural sustainability in the South-Eastern Zone of Barwani (Sendhwa), targeted intervention is required to address the soil's clay-to-clay-loam structure and its alkaline pH. While the region benefits from a high WHC and medium CEC, the critical deficiencies in SOC and essential N-P-K levels limit its current potential.

To overcome these constraints, farmers should implement Integrated Nutrient Management (I.N.M.) by combining balanced fertilization with regular organic amendments, such as manure or gypsum. Enhancing organic matter will improve soil structure and fertility, while precision irrigation can prevent degradation. These strategies provide a necessary baseline for transitioning toward natural farming, ensuring long-term crop quality for staples like cotton and soybean while maintaining environmental health.

Keywords: physicochemical, agricultural sustainability, soil organic carbon, organic amendments.
