Frequently Asked Questions

Know your products, prices & how to spot good quality

Simple definitions, current pricing guidance, and quality-check tips for our biochar, organic inputs, nursery plants, and plantation services.

Biochar

What is biochar?

A stable, carbon-rich charcoal made by heating organic material in low oxygen.

Mixed into soil, it holds water and nutrients and stays active for years, unlike normal compost that breaks down in a season.

What is the price/rate of biochar?

Starting from around ₹17/kg, bulk pricing negotiable based on quantity and delivery location. Call +91 93407 65552 for a current quote.

How do I identify good quality biochar?

Good biochar is: lightweight, fully black/charred all the way through (not brown or partially burnt), porous (holds water when wet), free of foul smell, and low in ash content. Poor quality biochar looks brownish, feels heavy, or has a burnt/tar smell.

Vermicompost

What is vermicompost?

Organic manure produced by earthworms breaking down organic waste.

Rich in nutrients and beneficial microbes, it improves soil structure, water retention, and root development.

How do I identify good quality vermicompost?

Good vermicompost is dark brown to black, crumbly (not lumpy or wet/sticky), has a mild earthy smell (never a foul/rotten smell), and is free of stones, plastic, or undecomposed waste. It should feel like fine soil in your hand.

How is vermicompost different from regular compost?

Vermicompost is processed by earthworms, which makes nutrients more readily available to plants and adds beneficial microbes that regular compost doesn't have in the same concentration.

PROM (Phosphate Rich Organic Manure)

What is PROM fertilizer?

An organic fertilizer enriched with rock phosphate for long-term phosphorus supply.

It supplies phosphorus along with organic matter, improving soil fertility over time without the harshness of chemical phosphate fertilizers.

How do I identify good quality PROM?

Good PROM has a uniform, fine granular or powder texture, dark colour, no foul odour, and should carry a certified phosphorus content on the packaging (check FCO specification compliance).

Biostimulants

What are biostimulants?

Natural formulations that boost plant stress tolerance and nutrient uptake - not fertilizers themselves.

Made from seaweed extract, amino acids, or humic substances, they help crops perform better under heat, drought, or poor soil, working alongside (not instead of) regular fertilizers.

Plants & Nursery

How do I identify a healthy nursery plant before buying?

Look for: firm green leaves (no yellowing/wilting), a strong root ball (not root-bound or falling apart), no visible pest damage or disease spots, and a straight, sturdy stem/trunk for grafted plants.

Can you supply big-size, ready-to-transplant trees for instant green cover?

Yes, we supply and safely transplant big-size, mature trees for projects that need instant green cover rather than waiting years for saplings to establish.
