Biochar is a charcoal-like material made from the pyrolysis of biomass from agricultural and forestry residues (e.g., corn stalks, hulls, wood chips, manure, etc.,) and charred at high temperatures, ranging from 350°C to 800°C with limited oxygen. When biomass undergoes pyrolysis, the carbon becomes a stable form that allows it to retain carbon for hundreds of years when sequestered into the soil. 



The benefits of biochar are: 

• Improves Nutrient Retention
• Improved Drought Resistance
• Sequesters Carbon in the Soil
• Reduces CO2 in the air
• Pest and Disease Control
• Reduction in Synthetic Fertilizers
