Arbuscular Mycorrhyzal Fungi produce a Glomalin glue which aggregates small soil particles

Terra Preta. Research. Fertile Soil is “aggregated”. Arbuscular Mycorrhyzal Fungi produce a Glomalin glue which aggregates small soil particles. Biochar seeds aggregate formation to absorb dissolved organic matter through wet and dry cycles to build long-term carbon storage.

  1. Terra Preta Research Fertile Soil is “aggregated” ArbuscularMycorrhyzal Fungi produce a Glomalin glue which aggregates small soil particles Biochar seeds aggregate formation to absorb dissolved organic matter through wet and dry cycles to build long-term carbon storage This increases water & air holding capacity, increasing soil tilth and biomass yields click to continue

  2. Terra Preta Research Biochar added to A. manguim seedlings 10% 20% 15% 0% at age 6 months, height & diameter significantly increased click to continue Siregar (2004), Forest & Nature Conservation Research & Development Center, Indonesia

  4. Terra Preta Research Effect of Biochar on A. mangiumroot growth & nodule formation plantation covered by 5cm rice husk biochar earthworm population increased soon after treatment due to neutralization of topsoil click to continue Okimori & Yamato (2002), Indonesia

  5. Terra Preta Research Biochar Benefits Existing Forest Dr. Ogawa reportsin 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. results 13 months after treatment Growth of pine root and mycorrhizae formation started at 5 to 6 months after treatment after: Oct. 1999 before: Sept.1998 click to continue click to continue click to continue Ogawa 1999, Kansai Environmental
