Activated Charcoal

Type: Soil Amendment 

Common Trade Names: Impound

What is it?

Activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon, is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. It is neither systemic nor contact in the traditional sense of pesticides, and it is non-selective. Its primary uses are in soil amendment, environmental remediation, and as an adsorbent in various applications. The use rate can vary greatly depending on the specific application and desired outcome.

How does it work?

The primary mode of action of activated charcoal is adsorption, where it binds to and holds various substances on its surface. In agricultural and environmental contexts, it is used to adsorb excess pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals, preventing them from leaching into water supplies or causing harm to non-target organisms. The effectiveness and time to see results can vary widely based on the application and the concentration of substances present.

Benefits

Activated charcoal is highly beneficial in preventing contamination and pollution in agricultural settings. It is particularly useful for:

  • Adsorbing excess pesticides and fertilizers from soil and water.
  • Improving soil health by removing toxic substances.
  • Helping in environmental cleanup efforts by adsorbing pollutants.
