Biochar for Avocado

Turn a soil investment into a decade of higher value fruit yield.

Why it works

Uganda's Hass avocado grows on acidic, phosphorus-fixing soils with low exchange capacity. Avocado feeder roots have no root hairs and depend on mycorrhizal fungi - biochar's pores are a purpose-built home for that partner, and its porosity drains the standing water root rot needs.

The evidence

  • +35%average yield across 286 tropical studiesZhang et al., 2025
  • 54-94%higher mycorrhizal root colonisationSales et al., 2020
  • Provenon Ugandan Ferralsol: pH, P, CEC, K & Ca upApori et al., 2021

Your return on investment

One Hass tree: 7.5 kg foundation dose returns 5x+ over ten years.

  • Payback in year 3 at +15% yield response
  • Small annual investment per tree, top-up every 4 years
  • Fertilizer savings not even counted - pure upside

More milk. Cleaner stables.

Mixed into bedding, it cuts ammonia, smell and disease pressure. In manure, it locks in nutrients for higher-value pasture.

Why biochar

Not all carbon is the same.

Charcoal, biochar and activated carbon look alike - but only one is engineered for soil, livestock and water.

Charcoal

Fuel

Made: Wood burnt with little air in simple kilns at 300-500 °C, temperature uncontrolled.

Made for: Cooking and heating.

Quality: Unknown feedstock, varies batch to batch, no certificate.

Risks in use: Tars and harm roots and animals; ash and salts push up ; dust and fines block soil, bedding and filters.

Our product

Biochar

Soil, Livestock & Water

Made: Biomass at a controlled 500-700 °C without air, water-quenched, milled to grade.

Made for: Soil and nurseries, livestock bedding and feed, water and industrial filtration.

Quality: Certified per batch: , salts, , heavy metals, water holding.

Risks in use: When not applied with knowledge it can have adverse effects.

Activated Carbon

Filter

Made: Charcoal re-heated to 800-1,000 °C with steam or chemicals to open an extreme pore surface.

Made for: Filtering water, air and medicines; deactivating herbicides.

Quality: Industrial grade, very fine powder or granules, costs many times biochar.

Risks in use: Very costly; in soil it adsorbs nutrients and crop-protection products; no benefit for soil, bedding or manure.
