Converting tender coconut husk to biochar through pyrolysis emerges as a safe and viable solution. Biochar, being a highly recalcitrant form of carbon, exhibits the ability to adsorb nutrients on its surface, facilitating their slow release. This innovation finds practical application in the preparation of potting mixtures.
Benefits
Tender coconut husk, an underutilized and challenging waste, becomes a valuable resource through biochar production. This process contributes to carbon sequestration, soil enhancement, and overall environmental sustainability. The added advantage of enriching biochar with beneficial microbes enhances its social utility in the market.
