how biochar can help climate change
6. Possible Benefits & Uses in Dairy Operations
1.1% biochar addition into feed as binding agent
โขImprove feed conversion ratio
โขReduce methane emissions
โขReduce odors from manure
2.Combine biochar with manure
โขRetains more nutrients during composting
โขStable C and enhanced nitrogen cycling
โขReduces nutrient leaching into eco-system
3.Use in anaerobic digestion to boost methane production
4.Filter dairy wastewater
5.Used as bedding material
6.Neutralize toxins from footbaths (e.g. copper)

7. biochar & viticulture
Possible benefits & uses in viticulture
1.Reduced seasonal inputs (e.g. carbon additions)
2.Improve yield consistency within a vineyard or block. 3. Improve hydraulic management of water drainage and water holding capacity of soil. 4. Boost YAN. 5. Enhance cation exchange capacity and nutrient retention. 6. Promote beneficial microbial activity in soils and pathogen suppression 7. Healthier root growth and transplant vigor. 8. Less labor intensive vineyard floor management 9. Better aggregate stability, buffering capacity, bulk density and reduce compaction. 10. Neutralize toxins in soils.
