Use of biochar
BIOCHAR IN FARMLAND
One of the main purposes of biochar production is its application to agricultural land, which increases its quality. This is mainly due to an increase in water and nutrient retention in the soil and an increase in the presence of stable organic matter leading, for example, to increased microbial activity in the soil.
Biochar in farmland:
- increases water retention in soil,
- improves the use of biogenic elements from fertilizers - retains and slowly releases them,
- reduces the penetration of nutrients into groundwater,
- loosens the soil,
- adjusts the pH of the soil in the first months after application due to higher Ca concentrations (suitable for acidic soils),
- increases microbial activity in soil,
- sequester large amounts of carbon in soil,
- improves soil quality and promotes plant growth,
- stabilizes (catches) soil contaminants and prevents their entry into plants,
- improves conditions for successful application using mycorrhizal symbiosis,
- improves the conditions for growing grape vines.
