This charred husk is beneficial to plants, since it helps loosen the soil and is frequently used as a fertilizer replacement.
Although in modest numbers, the composition of husk charcoal is particularly favorable for plant growth, including SiO2 (52%), C (31%), Fe2O3, K2O, MgO, CaO, MnO, and Cu.
Roasted husks are an excellent planting medium for plants. Roasted husks have the ability to loosen soil, bind nutrients to plants, and improve soil acidity. Burned husks contain silica, which can strengthen the leaves, allowing the plant to stand taller and encourage the formation of plant cells.
