Replacing complex carbon in soils kickstarts plant and microbe processes that improve how soils hold water, store nutrients, manage acidity and suppress disease. Each of these reduce plant stress and increase resilience to shocks such as drought.

Complex carbons in Carbon Boost increases fertiliser efficiency. This can in some cases allow nitrogen and phosphorus applications to be reduced by up to 50%. This improves profit, reduces soil damage and reduces exposure to global fertiliser price fluctuations.

Applying Carbon Boost is an approved activity for Australian Carbon Credit projects. It directly adds carbon and also stimulates plants and microbes to further build soil carbon.
