Enhancing Soil Health Through Carbon-Based Amendments
NBS Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material made by pyrolyzing organic biomass under low-oxygen conditions. A long-lasting soil conditioner, NBS Biochar is highly porous, has a large surface area, enhancing physical, chemical & biological properties, boosting microbial activity and offering mycorrhizal synergy.
Key Performance Soil Property Benefit of NBS Biochar Physical Improves soil structure and porosity, enhances water-holding capacity and reduces compaction and erosion Chemical Increases cation exchange capacity (CEC), buffers soil pH in acidic soils and reduces nutrient leaching Biological Provides habitat for beneficial microbes, supports microbial diversity and activity and improves nutrient cycling and soil respiration

NBS Biochar should always be activated by charging with NBS beneficial biology, mineral fertilizers and biostimulants before use. The activation combinations are flexible and should be chosen to suit the crop or soil properties.
Tip: Integrate NBS Biochar into a holistic soil regeneration plan alongside composts, biology, and balanced mineral nutrition.
Activating NBS Biochar prior to application is essential to prevent temporary nutrient tie-up, enrich biochar with nutrients and microbial life and enhance soil biological activity.
How to Activate NBS Biochar:
NBS Biochar and Mycorrhizal Fungi:
Biochar promotes excellent synergy with mycorrhizal fungi by offering protective microhabitats for hyphal growth, enhancing fungal colonization of plant roots and improving phosphorus availability and nutrient uptake. Colonisation of plant roots supports plant stress tolerance and soil resilience
Application Area NBS Biochar Rate Soil Inoculation only Minimum 200 kg/acre Field crops2-4 tonnes / acre Horticulture / Degraded soils 4-8 tonnes / acre (up to 16 t/acre) Potting mix / Garden beds 5-20% by volume
Note: Always pre-charge NBS Biochar with NBS microbial inoculum or any local inoculum and NBS Sapphire Liquid or any liquid humic at label rates. Consider soil type, crop requirements, and biochar characteristics when determining rate.
