Brief Description
Description : | 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. |
