Biochar (Rice husk Biochar) - Soil enhancer or soil conditioner
Biochar is created by heating biomass to high temperature in a low oxygen environment. This process is called pyrolysis. In our product we have used Rice Husk as a biomass. And also rice husk is a most suitable material to create Biochar, because of its maximum surface area. Biochar unique combination of characteristics make it an excellent soil amendment.
Approximately 70% of its composition is carbon, which makes it a very pure form of carbon. The bonds between carbon atoms are strong and difficult to break. Which means Biochar is stable, long-lived and resistant to weathering and decomposition by microbial communities.
Biochar enhances overall soil structure enabling plants to develop healthy and strong root systems. Its highly porous structure acts as a sponge for water and nutrients, providing a home for beneficial microbes which increases soil fertility and crop yield. Production of Biochar results in carbon sequestration as carbon is locked away in the soil for centuries. This means Biochar has the potential to help mitigate global warming and climate change.
What are the benefits having in Cultivation by using Biochar
Absorbs the applied fertilizer and the water and gradually releases it to the plant.
Makes maximum productivity of fertilizer and water.
Increases the population of beneficial soil microbes.
Improves plant growth and enhances crop yield.
Provide Silicon and Potassium.
Does not retain excess water.
Protects soil moisture.
Protects against fungal diseases.
Gives strength to the plant.
Increases plant resilience.
Enhances overall soil structure enabling plants to develop healthy and strong root systems.
Why Rice Husk Biochar is most suitable for cultivation more than others
Rice husk is a most suitable material to create Biochar, because of its maximum surface area.
It can retain more water and nutrients, more than other materials.
Easy to mix with soil mixture.
