Biochar?
What is Biochar? • We can define Biochar as a type of carbonized biomass that is derived from some sustainable sources in order to improve the environmental and agricultural value. Although it is a charcoal-like component, it is different from charcoal, applied as filter, reductant and fuel. As one of the porous elements, Biochar can retain nutrients and water of soil. For its absorption capacity, Biochar has the power to make the pesticides and metals immobilized. The carbon content in it covers more than 70%, while rest of the part has nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.
How Biochar structure works? • Plant biomass is the major component to form Biochar, which is empty inside and is very lightweight. This Biochar has the capillary suctioning ability and its micropores help in drawing water. However, micropores are also effective at restoring this soil moisture for roots and small microbes. While you have applied some Biochar, it increases the water-retention capacity of the soil.
Biocare Applications • Biochar works best for nurturing the soil, and thus, you can use it while planting the seedlings. For top and side dressing elements, you can choose Biochar. The blend must have 20 percent compost, soil and 10 percent Biochar. Apply this blend for settling all the new fresh plants. It is essential to add water to the plants.
