Product: BIOSAT

BIOSAT (Biochar based organic Soil Amendment Technology), a soil additive, is made of biochar mixed with different organic nutrients. The product preserves soil fertility, traps carbon emissions, maintains the topsoil strength and increases crop production, thus reducing dependency on chemical fertilizers

BIOSAT advantage over alternatives

BIOSAT is an organic soil amendment which is rich in organic carbon. A significant percent of the organic carbon is recalcitrant in nature. Recalcitrant organic carbon does not decompose easily in soil & keeps performing long after soil application. This ensures long term soil fertility unlike synthetic chemical fertilizers & other organic soil conditioners that only provide short term benefits. Chemical fertilizers & other organic soil conditioners have to be replenished regularly to ensure effectiveness.

Farm yard manure popularly known as FYM is the most commonly used organic manure in the world. BIOSAT offers multiple benefits over Farm yard manure in terms of quality & soil effectiveness. C/N ratio is significantly higher in BIOSAT as against FYM. Additionally the organic carbon in FYM decomposes easily & hence fresh application is required periodically. There are additional dangers of weeding , white grubs , termites through FYM if it is not of good quality. BIOSAT can be used as a complete replacement for Farm yard organic manure.
