What Is Biochar and How Diferent
Biochars Can Improve Your Crops
Biochar is a charcoal-like material that is produced from plant materials
such as grass, agricultural and forest residues that are decomposed at
high temperatures, often during renewable energy production.
During the process, the physical and chemical properties of the plant
material change into a highly porous, stable, carbon-rich material known
as biochar. Recent research suggests it has the potential to be used as a
soil conditioner and as a container substrate amendment in agriculture
and horticulture, and it may improve several soil and substrate physical,
chemical and biological properties.
Potential Use of Biochar as an Amendment
Adding biochar to soil or container substrate has
several potential benefts, such as modifying soil
physical and chemical properties by:
• Increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC).
• Increasing surface area.
• Increasing pH.
• Increasing plant nutrient availability.
• Enhancing water-holding capacity.
