Biochar is Nature’s ‘Black Gold’ for soil. Incorporation of biochar into soil management practices can contribute to sustainable and resilient agricultural systems while addressing environmental concerns. Not all biochar are the same. Our biochar is EBC and IBI certified ensuring its premium quality. Our biochar also complies with Singapore Standards 698 for Agricultural and Horticultural applications. These endorsements are important in preventing heavy metals and inorganic contaminations from entering soils or greeneries.
Key Benefits of Biochar:
- Healthier Soil: Biochar improves soil structure by increasing porosity, enhancing water retention, and promoting better drainage and aeration, benefiting both sandy and clayey soils.
- Nutrient Retention: With its high surface area, biochar effectively retains essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, reducing leaching and ensuring better availability for plant uptake, thereby decreasing the need for additional fertilizers.
- Microbial Habitat: Serving as a habitat for beneficial microorganisms, biochar contributes to nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and overall soil microbial activity, fostering healthier soil ecosystems.
- pH Regulation: Biochar aids in regulating soil pH levels, helping to create a more neutral environment, which is particularly beneficial in acidic or alkaline soils, promoting optimal conditions for plant growth.
- Water Quality Improvement: Biochar can reduce the leaching of pollutants, such as heavy metals, from the soil into water sources, thereby improving water quality.
- Regulating Odour: Biochar contributes to mitigating and managing odors in soil, particularly when organic fertilizers or odour emitting substances are used.
- Carbon Sequestration: Biochar is a stable form of carbon that remains in the soil for an extended period, acting as a carbon sink. This helps mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
