FerViForest – Regenerated plant amendment
Available in:
-
Big Bag of 1,000 liters
-
Bag of 15 liters
🌿 Product description
FerViForest is a regenerated plant amendment of forest origin, obtained from the valorization of ashes and slags from non-hazardous biomass. It is a natural and sustainable product, designed to improve soil structure and fertility, providing essential minerals and promoting the biological balance of the land.
Ideal for regenerative agriculture, composting, recovery of degraded soils, and substrate mixtures
🧪 Average composition (may vary slightly by batch)
-
Calcium (Ca): 12–20%
-
Potassium (K₂O): 3–7%
-
Phosphorus (P₂O₅): 1–3%
-
Silicon (Si): 8–15%
-
pH: 10–12 (acid correction effect)
-
Residual organic matter: < 2%
🌾 Recommended uses
-
Improvement of agricultural soils: increases aeration, structure, and water retention capacity.
-
Composting: acts as a mineral input and pH regulator.
-
Acidity correction: its alkaline nature helps recover acidic soils.
-
Application in crops: garden, fruit trees, olive grove, vineyard, extensive crops, and regeneration of forest areas or pastures.
🌍 Environmental advantages
-
Reduces carbon footprint.
-
Replaces virgin materials, avoiding the extraction of aggregates.
-
Recycled product and locally valorized.
-
Contributes to circular and sustainable agriculture.

❓ Is FerViForest biochar?
No, it is not. Although both come from plant biomass, FerViForest and biochar are distinct products, with different origins, properties, and uses.
🔍 Technical comparison: FerViForest vs Biochar
| Characteristic | FerViForest | Biochar |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Slag and ash from biomass combustion | Charcoal obtained by pyrolysis |
| Obtaining process | Complete combustion with oxygen (thermal energy) | Pyrolysis (partial combustion without oxygen) |
| Carbon content | Very low (mainly mineral material) | Very high (stable and porous carbon) |
| Color and texture | Light gray, granular, sandy | Black, light, porous |
| pH | Alkaline (8.5) | Slightly alkaline or neutral (depends on origin) |
| Main use | Regenerative amendment, composting, structural improvement | Soil conditioner, nutrient and carbon fixer |
| Retention capacity | Improves soil structure and mineralization | Very high water and nutrient retention |
| Environmental benefit | Valorization of waste and reduction of CO₂ | Long-term carbon sequestration |
| Economic value | Accessible, large volume | High, technical and specialized |
🌿 So, what is FerViForest?
FerViForest is a regenerated plant amendment, rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium, and silicon, designed to:
-
improve soils,
-
stabilize composts,
-
recover degraded lands,
-
and correct soil acidity.
It is a complementary alternative to biochar, not a substitute. In fact, they can be combined to achieve more balanced soils: one provides structure and carbon, the other minerals and alkalinity.
