Field Test Summary
The test site is located at Japan. 2. Cultivation field test using mini tomato "Aiko" red and yellow varieties. Two plots of land in a 6M × 70 M greenhouse used for comparison

>40 years of durian farming, soil quality has gone down.
A number of trees infected with Kanker Batang (Phytophthora Palmivora).
Healthy seedlings after 3 months Activated-char trial.
Healthy tall plant after 4 months.
Farmer commented that this plant will be taller than him after 1-2 months.
He commented plant and soil results are beautiful.
Because the Activated-char was added around the plants, the root growth was limited to small area, should disperse Activated-char in a wider area.
Farmer commented that the biochar and fertilizer have blended into the soil, giving a deeper color.
However the root growth is not very wide due to radial trenching.
