Dr. Ogawa reports in Japan biochar use to enhance plant growth isn’t experimental. Japanese government made it an official approved crop & soil management practice.
Dr. Ogawa works for Kansai Environmental, a division of Kansai Electric, one of Japan’s largest power companies.
Kansai currently has projects in Australia and Thailand using biochar in soil to create carbon credits.
Plans include a one million hectare soil restoration project in Australia to grow cash crops and create carbon credits.
Growth of pine root and mycorrhizae formation started at 5 to 6 months after treatment
