“Last winter we had serious problems with sunflower and bull’s blood beets due to a mechanical failure in our four-season greenhouse. In cool temperatures and seasonal lack of sunlight we were at 5% to 10% germination with high rates of fungal infection. After experimenting with a series of Seneca Farms NOFA-NY and OMRI-rated wood vinegar concentrations we settled on a vinegar-to-water dilution rate of 1:1000.
This solution was used for overnight seed soaking, and then, in the grow trays, sprayed after initial seeding and then upon emergence. We subsequently top-watered three or more times. Any signs of minor fungal infection at bad seed were pinched out and discarded. This was a true triple win for us: the wood vinegar acted as a fertilizer, growth-rate accelerator, and fugal suppressant. Germination climbed to over 95%.
I attributed these extraordinary results directly to the use of the wood char vinegar. We repeated the experiment in early summer and got similar results. It works where others don’t. Without doubt, a farmer’s best friend.

Spring has sprung!!! Kreher Farms Organic took delivery of 15 gallons of Seneca Farms Biochar Wood Vinegar. The agronomist there will do scientific studies in conjunction with Cornell CCE to (hopefully) prove the 40% increase in several soybean field yields was not a one-off!!

A micro green farmer has also been testing our wood vinegar. This is what he had to say.

Seneca Farms Biochar was awarded the $10K Wegmans Peoples Choice Award at the Grow-NY Competition. Unfortunately, we did not win any of the big awards. We did make invaluable contacts through the program - Kreher Farms, Wegmans, and multiple others in the ag sector, all excited to trial our products! Onward!
