Biochar is being tested on a deep acid sandy soil on the Fleurieu Peninsula of SA. The biochar was broadcast 10cm below the soil surface prior to sowing Lucerne and Phalaris. Extensive soil and pasture measurements are being taken in order to determine if the biochar can improve soil water holding capacity, infiltration, pH nutrient and trace element status.
