How is biochar applied to soils?
Biochar can be broadcast, or applied by drop spreaders. On corn, soybean and similar row crops, drop biochar with seed in furrows to support growth when seeds germinate. Biochar blended with compost and mineral fertilizers rapidly improves microbial diversity and shortens crop response time. Biochars sponge-like capacity to hold water and nutrients in its micropores make it an excellent addition in potting soil mixes.
