Why ordinary urea underperforms

Nitrogen loss within days

Standard urea releases nitrogen quickly. Rain and heat can carry much of it away before crops absorb it. Farmers pay for the fertilizer and the shortfall in yield.

Soil health declines over time

Repeated conventional urea use can acidify soil and reduce microbial activity, creating a cycle of diminishing returns season after season.

No carbon benefit

Standard urea adds nitrogen but does nothing for soil carbon. It is a missed opportunity to build resilience against drought and climate variability.

BIOCORE™ 46 is built to address all three.

The science of slow release

Biochar granules hold nitrogen in the root zone and release it as crops need it.

Nitrogen bonding

Biochar's porous structure captures urea nitrogen and holds it in the soil. Release is triggered by root activity and moisture, not rain or heat.

Controlled release

BIOCORE™ 46 is formulated to release nitrogen more gradually than standard urea, feeding crops steadily across the growing season.

Carbon in the soil

Each bag introduces biochar carbon into the soil, where it stays, improving soil structure across multiple growing seasons.

Backed by the science

Biochar-coated slow-release urea, validated in the field

BIOCORE™ 46 is engineered around a technology category with a growing body of independent, peer-reviewed evidence. A 2026 field study on biochar-coated slow-release urea in wheat production reported:

51.0%
Nitrogen use efficiency

More than double the 24.7% NUE measured for conventional urea in the same field trial.

70.4%
Controlled release over 28 days

Cumulative nitrogen release calibrated to crop demand, meeting EN 13266:2001 and ISO 19670:2017 slow-release thresholds.

+37.0%
Soil organic matter

Increase versus uncoated urea, alongside an 18.4% gain in cation exchange capacity.

73.5% to 79.1%
Of conventional urea's environmental impact

Life-cycle assessment showed a lower footprint across most impact categories, including air quality and water eutrophication.

Circular economy

Waste in. Soil carbon out.

The biochar in BIOCORE™ 46 is produced from agricultural and municipal waste streams, such as crop residue, that would otherwise be burned in the open or left to decompose. Converting that waste into biochar keeps carbon out of the atmosphere instead of releasing it, and diverts material away from landfill and open burning.

Waste diverted from open burning and landfill

Avoids the methane and emissions of unmanaged decomposition

Additional carbon outcome beyond business as usual

Five reasons BIOCORE™ 46 outperforms standard urea

Enhanced nitrogen efficiency

More nitrogen reaches your crops. Less fertilizer needed per season.

Better water retention

Biochar holds moisture in the root zone. Crops handle dry spells better.

Improves soil health

Biochar feeds soil microbes and improves structure over multiple seasons.

Reduces nutrient loss

Slower release means less nitrogen lost to leaching and evaporation.

Carbon smart agriculture

Biochar carbon stays in your soil, supporting long-term climate resilience.
