Continuous Biochar Reactor to Improve Crop Nutrient and Water Retention

Continuous Biochar Reactor to Improve Crop Nutrient and Water Retention

Due to the natural geography of the Palouse, farmers face multiple challenges with water distribution and nutrient retention in crops. Improvements can be made through the introduction of a charcoal-like substance called biochar, which has properties that allow for increased nutrient retention and water absorption in soil. The development of a small, low-cost biochar reactor would help mitigate the negative geographical effects the Palouse presents and allow farmers to increase crop yield.
