THE NMC-Cooperative Research Extension and Education Services and DLNR-Division of Agriculture are conducting a biochar mini-workshop at the Kagman Ma’a’fala Breadfruit Plantation on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., according to Northern Marianas College.
The mini-workshop will teach participants about the benefits and practical methods of using biochar to enhance soil health and farm productivity.
Biochar is a charcoal-like substance made from organic waste. It is formed from partially combusted organic material exposed to high temperatures and low oxygen. It can be used as a soil amendment.
The workshop will be conducted by Dr. Mohammad Golabi, professor of soil and environmental sciences at the College of Natural and Applied Sciences at the University of Guam.
For questions, reach out to Jesse Deleon Guerrero at (670) 237-6876 or email jesse.dlguerrero@marianas.edu/.
