What are the uses of charcoal in agriculture?

As the main product of briquette machine, briquettes can be further carbonized into charcoal by the carbonizing furnace. The charcoal can be used in many ways. The following are the uses of charcoal in agriculture.



1. Improve the ground temperature
After absorbing the solar heat energy, charcoal particles can make the soil temperature rise several degrees Celsius and promote the germination of seeds. In particular, it can promote the germination of seeds that are not easy to germinate and improve the germination rate.
2. Improve the soil
Adding charcoal powder to the soil forms an agricultural soil suitable for plant cultivation, avoiding the so-called "continuous cultivation obstacles". Charcoal also improves the growth, color and taste of grains, beans and vegetables.
3. Keep soil moisture
Charcoal can quickly absorb about 20% of the water when the relative humidity is above 50%, which can be used to retain soil moisture. At the same time, it can also improve the permeability and drainage of soil, and provide a good living space for microorganisms beneficial to plants.
4. Slow release of pesticides or fertilizers
The adsorption capacity of charcoal can be used to maintain an equilibrium state between pesticide and organic fertilizer. The balance can be used to release pesticide or fertilizer slowly and keep it for a long time, and it is not easy to be lost with rain.
