Biochar is another name for
charcoal used for purposes other
than combustion.
Like all charcoal, biochar is
created by the pyrolysis of
biomass.
There are various types
of biochars, based on
feedstock's and
production technologies.
• Agriculture productivity increases
• Low input agricultureNatural
• Local jobs and equity
• Local enterprisesSocial
• Least skills required
• BiocharcultureHuman
• Local technologies
• Low energyPhysical
• Low carbon economy
• Low costFinancial
• Carbon sequestration and energy security
• Mitigation and adaptation to climate changeEnvironment

Traditional
use of biochar
Biocharculture is a holistic approach that has been
historically tested, traditionally practiced, is culturally
integral, economically viable, socially responsible,
environmentally sustainable, and agreeable as a policy.
The uses of biochar—as part of biocharculture—include
its application in the areas of soil management,
livestock, biomass energy, water purification, green
habitats, sanitation, food, health, etc.
Securing the crop
from drought and
climate variabiiity
Reclaim the
degraded soils
water conservation
Lessen the impact
of hazardous
pesticides and
complex chemicals
reducing emissions
and increasing the
carbon
sequestration
Conversion of
biomass into
biochar
Increase in crop
yield
increases in C, N,
pH, and available P
to the plants
Impacts of biochar
last more than 1000
years.
Biocharculture integration into
traditional and local practices
should be encouraged.
Encouraging local communities
to produce and use biochar with
locally available raw material is
considered sustainable.
Biochar blends are mostly organic /
natural

Damage has occurred on 15 percent of the world’s total land area (13 percent
light and moderate, 2 percent severe and very severe), mainly resulting from
erosion, nutrient decline, salinization and physical compaction.

 Wood vinegar is being used to increase rates
of seed germination, reduce fungal diseases
and to improve both plant health and crop
quality. Users of this product were
frequently fruit and nut farmers.
 Spraying wood vinegar on soil generally
tends to raise the density of useful microbes
such as bacilli and actinomyces.
 Note: It is important that wood vinegar not
be used in too concentrated a form. In this
sense, wood vinegar is like vitamins for
humans: repeated use of concentrated doses
is not more effective, and may even be more
harmful, than using the prescribed amount.

Biochar compost Application
• Point - eg. Horticulture
• Spread - eg. Paddy
Biochar compost preparation
• Biochar + compost + green mulch + soil microbes + Jaggery + (pottery shards / fish
bones / brick pieces / urine / etc.)
• Addition of biochar to Farm Yard Manure pits in small quantities every day from
traditional stoves – i.e., Cattle dung, cattle urine, straw, biochar, ash, pottery shards,
pottery tile pieces, etc.
Biochar only application
• Point - Biochar mulching - eg. Horticulture
• Spread - Biochar broadcasting - eg. paddy
Biochar Prepartion methods - Many.
5-50 t/ha (0.5-5 kg/m2)
Cation exchange capacity - 50% increase (Glaser et al., 2002)
Fertilizer use efficiency - 10-30 % increase (Gaunt and Cowie, 2009)
Liming agent - 1 point pH increase (Lehman and Rondon, 2006)
Soil moisture retention - Up to 18 % increase (Tryon, 1948)
Crop productivity - 20-120% increase (Lehman and Rondon, 2006)
Methane emission - 100% decrease (Rondon et al, 2005)
Nitrous oxide emissions - 50 % decrease (Yanai et al., 2007)
Bulk density - Soil dependent (Laird, 2008)
Mycorrhizal fungi - 40 % increase (Warnock et al., 2007)
Biological nitrogen fixation - 50-72% increase (Lehman and Rondon, 2006)
(NICRA Bulletin 1/2013)
The difference is high in less fertile and degraded soils.
Biochar is good for all types of soils, because the fertility of soils defined in time and
space varies, based on human and natural conditions.
1 kg to 3 kgs of biochar application for every 1 square meter field area is the emerging
good application result for as tested in field trials.
The compost and other nutrients should be added to the field, as done regularly to any
field as per the crop.
Initially the Nitrogen should be added more (1.5 to 2 times) than what is applied regularly,
Green mulch / composts / farmyard manures etc., are most preferable.

Water
Water is given through the drip
irrigation system to the
subsurface biochar capsule.
Water is absorbed by biochar
and slowly released into the root
zone soil. The water loss is very
less. The roots of perennial
plants over a period encompass
the biochar capsule and absorb
the water without much loss. As
biochar has greater affinity to
water, the water losses due to
percolation into the aquifer is
less. Biochar is not
biodegradable for longer periods
(up to 1000 years or more) of
time, therefore the investment is
only once.

  • 11. Biocharculture is a holistic approach that has been historically tested, traditionally practiced, is culturally integral, economically viable, socially responsible, environmentally sustainable, and agreeable as a policy. The uses of biochar—as part of biocharculture—include its application in the areas of soil management, livestock, biomass energy, water purification, green habitats, sanitation, food, health, etc.

Securing the crop from drought and climate variabiiity Reclaim the degraded soils water conservation Lessen the impact of hazardous pesticides and complex chemicals reducing emissions and increasing the carbon sequestration Conversion of biomass into biochar Increase in crop yield increases in C, N, pH, and available P to the plants Impacts of biochar last more than 1000 years.

  • 14. Biocharculture integration into traditional and local practices should be encouraged. Encouraging local communities to produce and use biochar with locally available raw material is considered sustainable. Biochar blends are mostly organic / natural

  • 27.  Wood vinegar is being used to increase rates of seed germination, reduce fungal diseases and to improve both plant health and crop quality. Users of this product were frequently fruit and nut farmers.  Spraying wood vinegar on soil generally tends to raise the density of useful microbes such as bacilli and actinomyces.  Note: It is important that wood vinegar not be used in too concentrated a form. In this sense, wood vinegar is like vitamins for humans: repeated use of concentrated doses is not more effective, and may even be more harmful, than using the prescribed amount.

  • 37. The difference is high in less fertile and degraded soils. Biochar is good for all types of soils, because the fertility of soils defined in time and space varies, based on human and natural conditions. 1 kg to 3 kgs of biochar application for every 1 square meter field area is the emerging good application result for as tested in field trials. The compost and other nutrients should be added to the field, as done regularly to any field as per the crop. Initially the Nitrogen should be added more (1.5 to 2 times) than what is applied regularly, Green mulch / composts / farmyard manures etc., are most preferable.

  • 46. Water Water is given through the drip irrigation system to the subsurface biochar capsule. Water is absorbed by biochar and slowly released into the root zone soil. The water loss is very less. The roots of perennial plants over a period encompass the biochar capsule and absorb the water without much loss. As biochar has greater affinity to water, the water losses due to percolation into the aquifer is less. Biochar is not biodegradable for longer periods (up to 1000 years or more) of time, therefore the investment is only once. Designed by Dr. N.

  1. Biochar 10% to 30%
  2. https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0960852417314360-fx1_lrg.jpg
  3. These impacts frequently lead to reductions in yields. Land conservation and rehabilitation are essential parts of sustainable agricultural development. While severely degraded soil is found in most regions of the world, the negative economic impact of degraded soil may be most severe in the countries most dependent on agriculture for their incomes.
  4. http://www.warrencc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/CharcoalVinegar-with-pictures.pdf
  5. During the torrefaction process, the water contained in the biomass as well as superfluous volatiles are released, and the biopolymers ( cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) partly decompose, giving off various types of volatiles.
  6. A Report on the Value of Biochar and Wood Vinegar: Practical Experience of Users in Australia and New Zealand Version 1.0 – June 2019
  7. Pine needless biochar from gassifiers, gasifiers
  8. The use of biochar as animal feed is an important emerging market in Australia. Those who feed biochar to cattle do so on a daily basis for the purpose of improved cattle health, improved cattle weight gain, methane emissions reduction and reduced feed cost.
