Biochar in Agriculture

THE SOIL IMPROVER

Biochar is not a fertilizer itself, but a carrier material. Biochar introduced with fertilizer, cattle manure or compost into the soil and stores these substances. There the carbon particles provide a habitat for many useful microorganisms, fungi, and bacteria, from which the cultivated plants benefit. In addition, thanks to its porous structure and large inner surface, biochar is excellent for nutrient and water storage.

BENEFITS OF PLANT COAL FOR THE SOIL:

1. Higher water storage capacity in the soil
2. Soil bacteria thrive and improve the nutrient supply for the plants
3. Mycorrhizae increase and improve the absorption of water and nutrients, and protect against pests
4. Toxins and heavy metals are absorbed, the quality of the products and the groundwater increases
5. Better soil ventilation and reduction of methane and nitrous oxide emissions
6. Nutrient dynamics: plants grow better, nutrients remain in the soil for longer
7. Plants are generally more resistant and more productive

HAPPY ANIMALS
IN HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

When added to feed, biochar offers numerous advantages in terms of digestion, hygiene, and the immune systems of the animals. The animal’s well-being increases, animal feed is more productive, and growth is accelerated. The improved digestion also reduces methane emissions. Studies by independent institutions have also shown that the need for medicines such as antibiotics is significantly reduced.

BENEFITS OF PLANT COAL FOR ANIMALS AND LIVESTOCK:

1. Improve digestion
2. Detoxifies and inhibits inflammation
3. Food can be better used by the animal, Cost advantage through higher feed efficiency and better growth
4. Strengthen the immune system
5. When used as a bedding additive, lying areas in the barn dry better
6. Urine is absorbed, ammonia formation is inhibited, and odors are reduced
7. Stress on the respiratory tract and irritation of the claws or hooves are significantly reduced
