Application Rates for Bison Soil Organic Biochar
With its ability to improve soil, plant production and fruit yield, Bison Soil Organic Biochar is ideally suited for use in citrus
groves. Bison Soil Organic Biochar is particularly effective on sandy soils, much like those that are found throughout
Florida. The rates below are based on University research and provide general guidance for the use of Bison Soil Organic
Biochar. Studies have determined that 2- 5% (w/w) have been effective in improving crop yields, combting greening dis-
ease and improving soil quality.
These are typical application rates, and rates for a given situation depend on the soil type and condition. We thus suggest
that trials be conducted with your specific soil and citrus trees to determine the best Bison Soil Organic Biochar concentra-
tions.
Bison Soil Organic Biochar can be applied to each tree, either when it is first planted or it can be worked into the soil
around each tree. Adding 3-5% (w/w) requires approximately 8 to 16 cups, respectively, of Bison Soil Organic Biochar per
5 gallon bucket of soil (1.5 to 2.5 lbs of Bison Soil Organic Biochar).
