Questions on our product families and how we work.

Biochar

  • What is biochar and why should it be used?

    Biochar is a high-carbon soil amendment obtained by carbonising agricultural waste through pyrolysis at 350–700°C in an oxygen-free environment. It increases water retention, balances soil pH and helps mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration.

  • What does biochar do in the soil?

    It enhances microbial activity, reduces nutrient loss and improves water-holding capacity. It rehabilitates saline and barren soils and, over time, improves soil structure, thus increasing yield.

  • How much biochar should I apply?

    Typically, 50–100 kg per decare (da) is applied. However, the amount may vary depending on soil type, crop and irrigation conditions. A soil analysis before application is recommended.

  • Can biochar be used together with traditional animal manure?

    Yes. When mixed with manure, biochar retains the manure's nutrients, provides slow release and reduces bad odours. It also improves the composting process.

  • Is biochar truly beneficial for the environment?

    Absolutely. Each tonne of biochar applied to the soil removes on average 2.5–3 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent carbon from the atmosphere for the long term, which lowers the carbon footprint of agriculture.

  • Does biochar reduce the need for irrigation?

    Yes. Thanks to its porous structure, it retains water and keeps the root zone moist for longer, a significant advantage especially in arid regions.

  • Can biochar be used in organic farming?

    Certified organic biochar can be used as a soil conditioner in organic production. It is important to buy from a certified producer.

Wood Vinegar (Pyroligneous Acid)

  • What is wood vinegar?

    It is a liquid obtained by condensing the smoke released during the pyrolysis of organic agricultural waste. It contains acetic acid, phenols, ketones, esters and alcohols, and is used as a natural microbial balancer and antifungal agent.

  • How is it applied to plants?

    It is generally diluted at a ratio of 1:100 (1 litre of wood vinegar + 100 litres of water) and applied as a foliar spray or through drip irrigation. Positive effects have been observed on crops such as tomatoes, peppers and lettuce.

  • Is wood vinegar harmful to human health?

    It is natural in content but can be irritating at high concentrations. It should be diluted before use, and direct contact should be avoided. Certified organic versions are available.

  • Can it be used in animal feed?

    Yes, especially to support the immune system. However, only products licensed as “animal feed additives” should be used, in a controlled way.

  • Wood vinegar is not a pesticide, so what does it do?

    It is a natural microbial balancer in agriculture. It reduces the use of chemical pesticides, strengthens plant immunity and promotes growth.

  • Can wood vinegar be used as a disinfectant?

    Yes. Thanks to its natural phenolic content, it suppresses harmful microorganisms and prevents bad odours in areas such as waste containers, animal shelters and barn floors.

  • Can it be used to wash fruit and vegetables?

    Appropriately diluted wood vinegar (1:200) helps remove pesticide residues from fruit and vegetables. Rinse thoroughly with water before consumption.

  • Can wood vinegar be mixed with other fertilisers?

    Yes. It has a synergistic effect when mixed with compost, liquid fertilisers, seaweed extracts or humic acids. Follow the application dose carefully.

Wood Tar

  • What is wood tar and what is it used for?

    Wood tar is one of the liquid by-products of the pyrolysis process. It is known for its antifungal and antiseptic properties and is traditionally used in wood preservation, veterinary care and non-pharmaceutical animal care.

  • Can it be used as a plant protection product?

    Not directly. However, it may be included in some formulations as a natural pesticide or fungicide additive.

  • How is it used in animal care?

    It can be applied topically as an antiseptic for hoof and skin problems. Licensed products must be used according to their instructions.

  • Is wood tar applied like paint?

    Yes. It can be applied to wooden and metal surfaces with a brush or spray. Once dry, it forms a waterproof layer. Ideal for waste containers, poles and piers.

  • How long does tar last?

    Depending on the surface and weather conditions, it can keep its protective effect for 2–5 years. It is resistant to salt water and is used in marine applications.

  • Can it be used as a grafting / pruning paste?

    Yes. Tar-based natural pruning pastes in particular can be applied to tree cuts to keep out fungi and bacteria.

  • Is the tar smell permanent?

    After the first application it has a natural, resin-like smell that fades over time. It is not as heavy or persistent as chemical paint odours.
