Biochar
Progreaux Biochar combines a naturally ordered pore structure with inherent plant minerals to help soil hold water and nutrients where they’re needed. Made from single-source sugarcane bagasse, it delivers consistent performance for agriculture, growing media, and land restoration.
100% SUGARCANE BAGASSE BIOCHAR
THE BAGASSE DIFFERENCE
It starts with the sugarcane.
01
A more uniform pore structure
Sugarcane’s natural vascular structure remains after pyrolysis, creating continuously connected pores that help hold water and nutrients.
02
Inherent plant minerals
Unlike many wood-based biochars, Progreaux Biochar retains naturally occurring nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium from the sugarcane plant.
03
Consistent from the source
Made from a single-source bagasse feedstock, Progreaux Biochar is designed for greater consistency from batch to batch, with heavy metals well below established regulatory thresholds.
WHAT IT IS
From sugarcane waste
to lasting soil structure.
Sugarcane bagasse is transformed through pyrolysis into a stable, porous carbon material. The plant’s original vascular structure survives the process, leaving behind a connected honeycomb of microscopic channels that can hold water, retain nutrients, and create protected spaces for beneficial soil biology.

Common Questions,
Answered
Learn more about what makes sugarcane biochar different, where it performs best, how it should be used, and how to test it for your application.
What makes sugarcane biochar different from wood biochar?
Sugarcane bagasse retains an ordered, continuously connected pore structure after pyrolysis. Progreaux Biochar also carries inherent N, P, K, calcium, and magnesium from the original plant material, giving it a different structural and mineral profile than typical wood-based biochar.
Does Progreaux Biochar need to be charged before use?
Yes. Biochar is an input material rather than a complete fertility program and should generally be incorporated with nutrients or other beneficial materials before agricultural use. For growers looking for a pre-formulated option, Progreaux’s Grow Ready line combines biochar with other soil-building ingredients.
What types of soil benefit most from Progreaux Biochar?
It is particularly well suited to sandy, salt-affected, and degraded soils where water retention, nutrient retention, and soil structure need improvement together. Its connected pore network can also help improve aeration and drainage in heavier clay soils.
What nutrients are naturally present in the biochar?
Progreaux Biochar contains naturally occurring nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium retained from the sugarcane plant. Current product data lists approximately 0.64% nitrogen, 0.08% phosphorus, 0.55% potassium, 0.8 to 1.5% calcium, and 1.0 to 2.0% magnesium.
Can I test Progreaux Biochar before placing a bulk order?
Yes. A 1-gallon sample is available through the website so you can evaluate the material for your specific soil, growing media, or remediation application before moving to commercial quantities.
