WOOD SMOKE BECOMES AN AGRICULTURAL ADDITIVE THAT REDUCES PRODUCTION COSTS BY 40%

The use of smoke from wood burning as an agricultural additive is becoming more widespread in Brazil. This unique strategy has resulted in considerable cost savings of up to 40% and is consistent with the growing trend of large-scale organic farming that emphasizes sustainability and environmental preservation. The condensed smoke extract, also known as “pyroligneous extract,” is mixed into fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides, lowering the demand for toxic compounds by 40%. Brazil, being the world’s top producer of charcoal, has the potential to lead the way in the manufacturing of this additive, therefore advancing sustainable agriculture.
