ARTi micronized Biochar is a formulation of microscopic biochar particles. It is a dry powder formulation for direct dry or for micronized suspension/dissolved in water. It creates the perfect chemical and physical soil conditions to maximize plant growth and root development for vegetables, lawns, gardens and compost piles.
Micronized biochar (or finely ground biochar) is a much more efficient way of using biochar as millions of tiny particles improves the soil much more than one large particle. For the same amount there are a lot more benefits. Due to the microscopic size it can infiltrate (percolates) in soils without the need to till reaching deeper and closer to the root zone.
Dry application with specific equipment makes it easy to spread and with watering the micronized biochar effectively infiltrates in the soil. For Micronized applications the micronized particles stay in suspensions for hours to a day making it easy to localize the application and simplify logistics.
Micronized biochar makes an excellent addition to many Micronized fertilization and irrigation systems thereby reducing labor costs and constantly feeding nutrients and carbon. The most important benefit is that by using Micronized biochar you are applying carbon with the nutrients, holding them in the carbon, and binding soil particles to it. The nutrients are held in the biochar and made available for plants for longer periods thereby reducing the amount of nutrient loss and the amount of fertilizers required.
Micronized biochar promotes an increase in water holding capacity (WHC) and also air and oxygen. Due to the amount of pores and sponge-like structure some pores will hold air bubbles and larger ones will hold water. In this way, air and water is kept balanced beneath the soil. The nutrients are held in the biochar and made available for plants for longer periods thereby reducing the amount of nutrient loss and the amount of fertilizers required.
We generally recommend Micronized biochar for plants that are already established because you can pour it on the soil surface as a powder and it will infiltrate effectively after watering due to the small particle size.
Granular Biochar as a soil amendment is available in larger particles from typically less than ½ inches. It is generally recommended that you till the soil after applying the product or be patient and let the soil vertebrates, earthworms, insects and and natural cycles slowly incorporate into the soil profile. Granular biochar can be applied on the surface, yes, but to really see the benefits it is better to add the biochar to the root zone that is up to 6-12 inches deep (or a lot more for some plants and trees).
We sell 3 different types of Micronized biochars:
We also do Micronized biochar with formulation required by the client, contact us.
MicroBlack Biochar enhances soil structure, chemistry and biology. ARTi microBlack is a formulation of microscopic biochar particles. It creates the perfect chemical and physical soil conditions to maximize plant growth and root development for vegetables, lawns, gardens and compost piles.
To get the most out of your ARTi Micronized Biochar MicroBlack, ARTi recommends applying it in two ways:
Add as much as ARTi Micronized Biochar to your soil as you would like!
It’s recommended to water after doing the application to infiltrate in the soil.
* Make sure you are using the correct spreader and are not windy so you don’t create fines in the air.
Standard application is as follows:

We ship to the client address. Our products can be picked up at the ARTi facility in Prairie City, Iowa.
Some of our clients are farmers who wish to develop their own biochar or start with commercialization. ARTi also works with industrial and private clients.
