How to Use This Calculator

Enter Field size (acres), Incorporation depth (inches), and Target biochar (% by volume).
Set Soil type (1=sand, 2=loam, 3=clay), Biochar cost ($/ton), and Current soil pH.
Review the Biochar needed (tons/acre) result.
Use Total biochar (tons) and CO2e sequestered (tons) to inform your decision.
