AgriCarb Agricultural Carbon

AgriCarb-GAC is a granular activated carbon with a low activation level, created from macadamia nut shells through an autogenous steam activation process. The shells are locally sourced as a byproduct from the annual macadamia nut harvest, making AgriCarb-GAC a sustainable and renewable product. The final result is a high-density carbon with a well-developed internal porous structure, ideal for adsorption processes.

The addition of such a carbon to a soil adds multiple benefits:

– Increased carbon content aids soil health through promoting microbial growth, both through providing a porous structure with a high surface area on which to seat, as well as providing high-purity carbon for cellular growth.

– Further benefits are increased moisture.

– Improved nutrient retention within the soils, where it remains accessible for growth for longer periods of time (high CEC value).
