What is 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 waterretention capacity of the soil. • Moreover, it has the potential of trapping air of pipes and small tubes. The emptiness in Biochar works as sponge; thus, it can absorb water very easily. Since the char has porosity, the soil turns out to be lighter and looser.
Biocare Applications • When Transplanting: • 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. • When Mulching: • You can use the Biochar at the time of mulching. While peeling back the mulch after some weeks, you will find mycelia and active roots. A little amount of Biochar (1 cu ft) covers 500 sq ft.
What is Supr Activ Biochar? • This Supr Activ Biochar is manufactured by using bamboo in the absence of oxygen by the pyrolysis process under the temperature of 520°C. • Why to invest on Supr Activ Biochar • To enhance the soil condition- As one of the natural components, Our Supr Activ Biochar is effective at amending the soil and increasing the fertility rate of the soil. • To stabilize pH balance- With the reduction of H+ level, the char is useful for the stabilization of the pH value. • To reserve the nutrients- The char reduces the leaches of nutrients • Good porosity- Microspores gives a shelter to all beneficial microorganisms for protecting them from high temperature. • Increases nutrient and water retention ability for the microporous structure of carbons • Limits soil contamination with metals and pesticides • Keeps up the ratio of nitrogen and carbon content of soil • Adds the fertility of soil by preserving the life of microbes • It can increase the rate of germination by 16 percent and the height by 25 percent. The seedlings also remain healthy.
