🌿What Is BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)? A Low-Moisture, High-Potassium Solution for Acidic Soil

In today’s agricultural landscape, farmers are searching for solutions that not only improve soil productivity but also align with sustainable farming practices. One such emerging solution is BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)—a natural, nutrient-rich ash made from agricultural biomass. Specifically designed to correct acidic soil conditions and supply essential nutrients, BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) stands out with a moisture content of less than 2%, making it highly efficient, easy to handle, and long-lasting in storage.

BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) isn’t just another soil amendment. It’s a by-product of agricultural waste that has been turned into a valuable input for farming. With growing awareness about soil health, environmental protection, and rising fertilizer costs, more farmers are turning to BIOASH as an eco-friendly, affordable alternative to conventional products like dolomite or lime.

🔥 From Waste to Soil Wealth: How BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) Is Made

Our BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)  is made through the controlled combustion of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) from oil palm processing and  woodchip. These materials, once considered waste, are transformed into a dry, mineral-rich ash that provides immediate benefits to acidic soils.

Thanks to its low moisture content (under 2%), BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) doesn’t clump, degrade, or attract mold during storage. This makes it easy to store, transport, and apply—even in humid tropical climates. The fine powder spreads evenly across fields and rapidly interacts with the soil, offering faster and more consistent results compared to wet or lumpy soil amendments.

🧪 Nutrient Profile of BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)

What sets BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)  apart is its unique combination of pH correction and nutrient supply—all in one product. Here’s a typical nutrient breakdown:

• Potassium Oxide (K₂O): 15–19%
  An essential nutrient that strengthens plant resistance, improves water use efficiency, and enhances fruit and flower quality.

• Calcium Oxide (CaO): 5%
  Helps neutralize soil acidity while improving soil structure and root development.

• Magnesium Oxide (MgO): 3%
  Vital for chlorophyll production and overall plant metabolism.

• pH Level: 11–12
  Strongly alkaline, making it highly effective at raising soil pH and unlocking nutrient availability.

• Moisture Content: <2%
  This ultra-dry form ensures better storage, easy spreading, and long shelf life—ideal for plantation or farm-scale use.

Additionally, Bioash contains trace elements like silica, iron, and manganese, which contribute to overall plant and soil health.

🌱 Benefits of Using BIOASH on Your Farm

Acidic soil is a major problem for farmers in many tropical regions. It reduces nutrient availability, stunts plant growth, and causes toxicity of harmful elements like aluminum. BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)  addresses these issues while offering additional benefits:

• Quickly neutralizes acidic soil (pH <5.5)

• Releases potassium for improved plant vigor

• Enhances root development via calcium and magnesium

• Promotes microbial activity for better organic matter breakdown

• Reduces surface weed germination due to its high alkalinity

• Dries easily and stores well even in humid conditions (low moisture)

BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)  is particularly effective for crops like oil palm, banana, paddy, sugarcane, and other potassium-demanding plants. It’s also suitable for use in organic or semi-organic farming systems.

♻️ Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Farming with BIOASH

One of the most important reasons to adopt BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) is its environmental benefit. By utilizing agricultural residues like EFB and woodchip, BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) transforms what would otherwise be waste into a valuable soil resource. This supports a circular economy, reduces landfill pressure, and avoids methane emissions from decomposing biomass.

For plantation owners and smallholder farmers alike, switching to BIOASH means contributing to climate-smart agriculture while improving crop performance.

🛠 How to Apply BIOASH ?

BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) can be applied in several ways depending on crop type and farm conditions:

• Broadcasting: Spread evenly before planting or around existing crops.

• Banding: Apply in rows along plant lines for focused nutrient delivery.

• Spot application: Ideal for oil palm, fruit trees, or large individual plants.

• Mix with compost or manure: To reduce dust and enhance microbial synergy.

Recommended rates range from 500 kg to 2,000 kg per hectare, depending on initial soil pH, crop needs, and application method. Conducting a soil test before use ensures proper dosage and prevents over-application.

✅ Final Thoughts: Why BIOASH ?

BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite)  is more than a pH fixer—it’s a complete, natural soil enhancer. It addresses the two biggest challenges in tropical farming: soil acidity and nutrient deficiency, particularly potassium. With a high pH (11–12), rich potassium content (15–19% K₂O), added calcium and magnesium, and a moisture content under 2%, BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) is a powerful, practical, and sustainable choice.

Whether you’re managing oil palm estates, banana fields, or paddy land, BIOASH (Beyond Dolomite) offers a low-cost, eco-friendly way to restore soil fertility and increase yields—naturally.
