Biochar Application in agriculture

Biochar technology shows promise in mitigating climate change and improving soil quality, as well as reducing waste and producing energy as a byproduct and other waste. But what is biochar? And what are biochar applications? 

Biochar application 

Soil degradation is a major concern in agriculture globally today. To address this burgeoning problem, researchers suggested applying biochar technology to degraded soils in order to enhance its quality. Some of the ways that biochar production may help improve soil quality include:

• enhancing soil structure
• decreasing acidity
• increasing water retention and aggregation
• reducing nitrous oxide emissions
• improving porosity
• improving electrical conductivity
• regulating nitrogen leaching 
• improving microbial properties
