TREES IN RIYADH ARE ENRICHING THE SOIL WITH
BIOCHAR
FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Tourba uses a pyrolysis process,
where organic materials are heated in a non-oxygen environment to create a stable, carbon-rich product.
When incorporated into soil, Tourba acts as a long-term carbon sink, sequestering carbon for hundreds of years. Its porous structure provides a habitat for beneficial microorganisms and helps retain water and nutrients.
Tourba works harmoniously with natural soil processes to boost plant growth and overall soil health.
Enhanced Soil Fertility
Tourba improves nutrient reten- tion and availability, leading to healthier and more productive soils.
Carbon Sequestration
By locking carbon in the soil for centuries, Tourba helps fight climate change.
Reduced Water Usage
Tourba enhances water retention in the soil, reducing the need for frequent irrigation.
Natural Pest Control
It fosters a balanced ecosystem in the soil, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.
Increased Crop Yields
Farmers using Tourba report higher crop yields and better quality produce.
Improved Sustainability
Tourba promotes sustainable farming practices by enriching soil quality and reducing environmen- tal impact.
Tourba is suitable for various applications, including agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and more. Gardeners, farmers, and landscapers can all benefit from Tourba's transformative properties.
Tourba is a sustainable solution that reduces the carbon footprint of agriculture and promotes eco-friendly practices. Using Tourba helps offset carbon emissions and contributes to a healthier planet.
CASES
In the oases of North Africa, in Tunisia and Algeria, adding 3% of biochar to soil with 85% sand, increases the soil's useful water reserve by 78% compared to soil without amendment.

A study conducted by Dr. Machado from Oregon State University focused on tackling soil challenges within dryland wheat cropping systems, particularly the issues of soil acidification and insufficient organic matter levels. Thanks to the use of 10 tons of biochar per acre, the pH of the soil increased as well as the crop yield by almost 30%.
