Scientific Backing
Activated Char Condensate is supported by peer-reviewed research demonstrating the efficacy of wood vinegar in enhancing soil health, crop quality, and plant growth. Key findings include:
-
Exogenous application of wood vinegar improves rice yield and quality (2024, Agronomy): Wood vinegar applied during multiple growth stages increased rice yield by up to 32.4%, improved photosynthesis, raised soluble sugar content, reduced chalkiness, and improved overall grain quality.
Effects of foliar spraying wood vinegar on rice agronomic characters and yield (2022, Chinese Agricultural Science Bulletin): Foliar sprays (100×–300× dilution) increased rice yield by 1.7–16.9%, boosted biomass and panicle number, and enhanced grain weight per plant.
Effect of the interaction between wood vinegar and biochar feedstock on tomato plants (2023, International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology): Weekly foliar sprays (1:200 dilution) with biochar significantly increased tomato fruit yield and °Brix, improving sweetness and overall quality.
Physiological and biochemical mechanisms of wood vinegar-induced stress response against tomato Fusarium wilt disease (2024, Plants): Wood vinegar (0.3–1.2% solutions) reduced Fusarium wilt incidence, enhanced plant resistance by lowering oxidative stress markers, and improved tomato yield under disease pressure.
Wood vinegar impact on growth and low-temperature tolerance of rapeseed seedlings (2022, Agronomy): Spraying wood vinegar improved biomass, soluble sugar and protein content, photosynthesis, and stress tolerance under cold stress conditions.
Effects of soaking seeds with wood vinegar on germination of forage species (2025, Chinese Agricultural Science Bulletin): Wood vinegar seed soaking (300–500× dilution) increased germination rate, vigor index, root length, and seedling biomass in multiple forage crops.
Directions for Use
-
Foliar/Fertigation: Mix 5 ml per litre of water. Apply every 3–4 weeks during active growth.
-
Soil Drenching: Use 5–10 ml per litre, apply to the root zone, and water thoroughly.
-
Seed Treatment: Dilute at 1:100, soak seeds for 6–24 hours, or spray during planting.
-
Compost Accelerant: 1L per 100 L water applied to the compost, during construction of the heap, or during watering.
- Note: Agitate well during application to maintain suspension.
