The Benefits of Biochar for Turf♻️🪨
We’re proud to be part of the EU-supported Closing Loops project, exploring how agricultural biomass can be transformed into valuable biochar for sustainable turf care. Our growth trials have now started, using Lolium perenne in a sand-soil mix to measure germination, root mass, water retention, and drought resilience. Research suggest that biochar’s biggest advantages will be seen under stress.
Biochar, produced through pyrolysis, is a carbon-rich material with a porous structure that improves soil aeration, boosts water retention, increases nutrient-holding capacity, and supports beneficial microbes. For turf managers, that means healthier root zones, better drought tolerance, and reduced fertiliser run-off. ♻️
