Biochar, a by-product of pyrolysis, offers numerous benefits to soil health, including improved root penetration, water retention, and nutrient retention. Its application in horticulture, particularly in citrus and tomato production, has shown promising results in increasing fruit yields and improving soil quality. However, the effectiveness of biochar application depends on optimal application rates and frequency, with higher rates generally yielding better results. Mixing biochar with compost can further enhance its benefits, leading to improved crop production and soil health.
