Unlocking the Win-Win in Agriculture: How Biochar Boosts Yields & Cuts Fertilizer Reliance. 

Struggling with low Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) and soil degradation? A comprehensive review in the Indian Journal of Fertilisers highlights biochar as a transformative solution.♻️

This isn't just charcoal. It's a engineered carbon-rich amendment that:

• Boosts FRV (Fertilizer Recovery Value): Enhances nutrient retention by improving Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), reducing leaching. More feed the crop, less pollutes the environment.
• Supercharges Soil Health: Improves porosity, water retention & forms stable aggregates. It’s a habitat for beneficial microbes & can stimulate biological N-fixation by up to 63%.
• A Powerful Carbon Sink: Converts agri-waste (like 92Mt of burnt residue in India) into stable, aromatic carbon. A key pathway for carbon dioxide removal (CDR), with a potential to mitigate 1.0–1.8 Pg CO2-eq annually.

The result? Studies show 10-60% yield increases alongside reduced fertilizer dependency. It is advancing the circular bio-economy and climate-resilient agriculture. Let's build a fertile future.
