NPUST Establishes Agriculture and Forestry By-Product Development Center to Turn Woody Waste into Biochar
National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) established the "Agriculture and Forestry By-Product Circular Utilization and Value-Added Development Center" this year, hoping to develop woody agricultural waste into various biomass pellets or biochar pellets for use as fertilizer, soil amendments, activated carbon and more, in order to solve the agricultural waste problem.

Big and plump strawberries grown with mile-a-minute weed biochar-based fertilizer and vinegar liquid
Mile-a-minute weed biochar combined with vinegar liquid produces big and plump strawberries. Want to learn how? Then read the introduction below. Huang Ying-pin, senior researcher at the Ecosystem Technology Laboratory of the Central Branch of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, says that mile-a-minute weed (Mikania micrantha) is native to Central and South America, harms crop growth, is known abroad as the "mile-a-minute weed", and is also regarded as the "green cancer" of the plant world. Mile-a-minute weed spreads rapidly in Taiwan, China, and is a plant that forestry units want to eradicate as quickly as possible, but it is not entirely useless. Research has shown that mile-a-minute weed is rich in micropores and is a very good charcoal material, which can be converted into "biochar" and "vinegar liquid" through carbonization technology; biochar can be used for soil improvement, and combined with vinegar liquid it becomes a pest and disease control agent or a plant growth promoter.
