Biochar

Description

Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material produced by heating organic matter, such as woody debris in a low-oxygen environment (pyrolysis). This creates a valuable soil amendment that helps improve soil health and function. It is also very effective in reducing odors in chicken coops and improving flock health when fed at low rates.

• ​Promotes healthy root development by improving soil structure and drainage.

• Reduces drought stress by increasing water holding capacity.

• Increases soil nutrient holding capacity.

• Provides habitat for soil microbes that are essential for nutrient cycling and plant health.

• Improves saline or sodic soils by removing salts from the soil solution.

• Mitigates toxins by immobilizing heavy metals and pesticides and preventing plants from absorbing them.
