Biochar
Nature’s Solution for Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Care
What is Biochar?
Biochar is a carbon-rich product made by heating organic biomass (such as wood, crop residues, or coconut
shells) at high temperatures in a low-oxygen environment, a process known as pyrolysis. It is a highly
porous form of charcoal that offers numerous benefits when applied to soil and other ecosystems.
Key Benefits of Biochar:
- Soil Health Improvement: Enhances soil fertility by improving water retention, nutrient
availability,
and
microbial activity.
- Carbon Sequestration: Traps carbon in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years, helping to reduce
greenhouse gases.
- Reduced Need for Chemical Fertilizers: Acts as a natural soil amendment, reducing dependency on
chemical
fertilizers.
- Increased Crop Yields: Improves root health and nutrient absorption, leading to better plant growth
and
productivity
- Waste Management: Provides a sustainable way to utilize agricultural and forestry waste.
Applications :
- Agriculture (crop fields, gardens)
- Horticulture and landscaping
- Livestock farming (as bedding or feed additive)
- Water filtration and waste treatment
