Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method for applying biochar to turf and landscape to allow the turf and landscape to be effectively maintained under reduced water and/or reduced fertilizer applications.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of applying a biochar to a sod, the method comprising: contacting a root side of the sod with the biochar, thereby adhering the biochar to the root side of the sod; wherein the biochar consists essentially of pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified biomass or wherein the biochar does not comprise pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified fossil fuel; and wherein the biochar comprises at least 55 wt % carbon. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhering further comprises applying pressure to the sod and the biochar. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhering further comprises adding, to the biochar or to the root side of the sod, a substance that improves the adhesion of the biochar to the root side of the sod; wherein the adding occurs before the contacting the root side of the sod with the biochar. 4. A turf sod composition comprising a sod and a biochar, wherein the sod comprises a root side, and wherein the biochar is attached to the root side of the sod; wherein the biochar consists essentially of pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified biomass or wherein the biochar does not comprise pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified fossil fuel; and wherein the biochar comprises at least 55 wt % carbon. 5. A plant root ball composition comprising a root ball, soil, and a biochar, wherein the biochar is attached to surface of the root ball; wherein the biochar consists essentially of pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified biomass or wherein the biochar does not comprise pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified fossil fuel; and wherein the biochar comprises at least 55 wt % carbon. 6. A plant root ball composition comprising a root tissue, a soil, a wrap, and a biochar; wherein the wrap surrounds the root tissue and the soil; and wherein the biochar is attached to a surface of the wrap or is positioned between the wrap and the root tissue; wherein the biochar consists essentially of pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified biomass or wherein the biochar does not comprise pyrolyzed, torrefied, or gasified fossil fuel; and wherein the biochar comprises at least 55 wt % carbon.
