Suitability depends on the product specification, nutrient analysis, intended application, local regulations and relevant approvals.
The right Biochar Granule product depends on what you are using it for and how it will be applied.
For example, a smaller granule may suit a growing-media, nursery or soil-blending application, while a larger or more robust granule may be better suited to broadacre spreading, turf, landscaping or rehabilitation work. A granule can also be developed as part of a nutrient, compost or other application-specific blend.
Terix can help you choose a suitable granule size, feedstock, formulation and supply format based on your application requirements.
