Japan biochar research in tea

Returning Tea Pruning Residue and Its Biochar Had a Contrasting Effect on Soil N₂O and CO₂ Emissions from Tea Plantation Soil

 More research on tea growing with biochar... this time from Japan. Check out the "tea" tag for more posts on tea.

"...Our results suggest that converting pruning residue to biochar and its addition to soil has the potential to mitigate soil N2O emissions from tea plantation."

Biochar STiR in tea industry in Sri Lanka

Another report from the Sri Lanka tea industry on their successes with incorporating biochar into their soil management systems. The next important step should be the closing the loop on biomass to biochar by using the pyrolysis or gasification heat for energy utilisation. Link to article from image below...
