Benefits of Biochar in Soil Amendment
- Enhances Nutrient Retention: Biochar traps nutrients and prevents them from leaching away, ensuring long-term availability for plants.
- Improves Water Holding Capacity: The porous structure helps retain moisture, making soil more suitable for agriculture, especially in dry regions.
- Boosts Microbial Activity: Biochar creates a thriving habitat for beneficial microbes that improve soil fertility and plant growth.
- Neutralizes pH: It can balance soil acidity, creating favorable conditions for crops.
- Sequesters Carbon: Biochar locks carbon in the soil for decades, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.
