relate to agrichar and to Terra Preta?
Biochar is sold under a range of brand names such as the well-known global brand name and US registered trademark Agrichar™ which relates to Biochar produced from the BEST Energies proprietary slow pyrolysis process. Biochar was fundamental to the creation of Terra Preta de Indio, as it is to creating its modern equivalent, Terra Preta Nova. Terra Preta “Classic” was made by adding charcoal, broken pottery shards, along with organic fertilizer amendments. This, in conjunction with the microbial ecology occurring in these soils, resulted in an incredibly fertile soil, and a reputation for self-regeneration. The effects of adding biochar in Terra Preta de Indio have persisted for millenia. Initial studies indicate we should not expect biochar to instantly recreate the full effect of Terra Preta de Indio, however, persistent partial effects are readily apparent for the duration of longer term studies. The degree to which Terra Preta de Indio is dependent on a community of soil biology uni
