BIOCHAR
Description
Biochar is charcoal used as a soil and water amendment for both carbon sequestration, soil and water health benefits. Biochar is rich in carbon and can endure in soil for thousands of years. Biochar has the potential to help mitigate global warming and climate change. It results from processes related to pyrogenic carbon capture and storage (PyCCS). Biochar can increase soil fertility of acidic soils (low pH soils), increase agricultural productivity, and provide protection against some foliar and soil-borne diseases. Biochar is extremely porous and its sponge-like structure lends itself well to water conservation. Biochar’s ability to improve the water holding capacity of soil and substrates. There are great benefits from enriched biochar.
