Soil Improvement

Optimize Water Retention and Improve Fertilizer Efficiency

In targeted applications, Evergreen BioCarbon can help reduce the use of water in agriculture and in turf and landscape applications by helping  optimize the water-holding capacity of the soil, increase plant available water and limit evaporative water loss. As a result, plants and microbes can get the precious water they need, when they need it.  

BioCarbon also improves fertilizer efficiency by retaining water and nutrients in the root zone longer, which gives plants and microbes more time to access them. This can help reduce challenges related to fertilizer leaching and runoff. In addition to helping with regulatory concerns, nutrient efficiency allows growers and their advisers to adjust their protocols to potentially improve economics while maintaining yield and quality.

Nurture and Enhance Microbial Population

BioCarbon nurtures and enhances the microbial population in soil. Some soil microbes help make water, nutrients and minerals in the soil available to plants. Other microbes produce hormones and enzymes that spur plant growth, and some soil microbes stimulate a plant’s immune system. A diverse soil microbiome results in fewer plant stressors and diseases, resulting in higher yield and quality.
