Biochar innovation from Onfarm AgroForestry in land reform area, Udon Thani province

Abstract

            Biochar can be produced via Pyrolysis process at an average temperature of 300 - 700 ^๐ C, a process of anaerobic combustion or minimal thermal combustion. The features of biochar produced are carbon rich, Light weight, porous structure, high surface area and porous anion. Biochar is usually used in agriculture as a soil improvement material, reservoir of nutrients and microorganisms in the soil that helps plants grow well. In addition, biochar is also used to treat waste in the environment. Therefore, biochar is an
interesting material. This article presents the knowledge of innovation in biochar production that comes from using local wisdom together with scientific knowledge. Biomass from Onfarm AgroForestry in land reform area, Udon Thani province is used as a
starting material in biochar processing, to add value and create income for farmers. It also explains the benefits of biochar and its
impact on the environment.
