High water retention capacity of up to 500%
Optimizes the soil's available water reserve, helping plants cope with extreme drought conditions.
Biochar and HEXA Amendments
Our approach is to develop and produce innovative amendments that combine biochar with microbiology to meet the needs of regenerative agriculture, sustainable livestock farming, reforestation projects, and landscaping.
Our hexa amendments focus on the following key aspects:
Specific surface area of 350-400 m² per gram
Improves soil aeration, reduces nutrient leaching, and provides optimal protection for microorganisms against adverse edaphoclimatic conditions.
Purity
Contains an average carbon content of 90%, with less than 2% ash.
Abundant and balanced supply of beneficial microorganisms
Helps restore the soil microbiome and stimulate plant nutrition.
What does this mean in practice?
Agronomic benefits:
Environmental benefits:
HEXApuro® is a high-purity biochar certified by EBC (European Biochar Certificate).
The EBC-Agro seal guarantees its quality and safety for soil application.

Enhancing manure management and improving agronomic efficiency
The combination of manure and biochar in agriculture helps minimize the impact of direct manure application, providing a synergistic solution that not only promotes sustainability but also improves agricultural productivity.
A cattle manure enriched with HEXApuro® has shown improved aerial growth, root development, and photosynthetic activity in maize crops with optimized doses
Aerial biomass:
up to +14.20%
Root development:
up to +60.63%
Photosynthetic pigment concentration: up to +35% (chlorophyll a) and +41% (chlorophyll b)
In addition to improving agronomic performance, incorporating HEXApuro® into slurry pits, manure storage, or livestock bedding also helps:
- Improve animal welfare by reducing bedding moisture and unpleasant odors.
- Prevent nitrogen loss due to volatilization, resulting in a nutrient-rich fertilizer.
Enhancing the properties of growing substrates
Adding HEXApuro® to a peat-based growing substrate has shown a significant improvement in the development of olive cuttings during propagation:
Leaf weight:
up to +56%
Shoot length:
up to +23%:
Root weight:
up to +31%
Improving the quality of composts and other organic amendments
Adding HEXApuro® during the composting of organic waste and manure improves its agronomic and environmental profile by:
- Increasing the stable organic matter content (ISMO value) due to greater formation of humic complexes and the addition of stable organic carbon
- Enhancing nitrogen and potassium nutrient content
- Boosting water retention capacity
- Stimulating the development of beneficial microorganisms in the soil and plants
Accelerating soil restoration during fallow periods
When removing a crop before a multi-year fallow period, HEXApuro® can be incorporated to accelerate soil health restoration and microbiota regeneration in preparation for the next planting or sowing cycle.
HEXAbioma® is a “ready-to-use” amendment formulated with HEXApuro®, enriched with our liquid compost extract, which contains a diverse and abundant population of beneficial microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) and soluble nutrients.
Characteristics
Carbon content:
> 80% (w/w)
Density:
340 – 350 kg/m³
pH:
8.6 – 8.9
Specific surface area (BET):
350 – 400 m²/g
Microbial biomass:
> 60 000 mg de C/kg
Fungi:Bacteria Ratio:
2-5:1
Boosting soil fertility and stimulating its microbiota
HEXAbioma® is applied in the field:
- Before sowing cash or cover crops.
- During the planting of perennial crops.
- During soil preparation before fallow periods.
Applied to the root zone, HEXAbioma® helps regenerate soil microbiota, health, and functionality, optimizing structure, moisture, nutrition, and protection for plant development.
Improving the quality of composts and other organic amendments
Adding HEXAbioma® during the composting of manure and organic waste goes a step beyond HEXApuro®, helping improve not only the physicochemical quality of the final product but also its biological quality, as it serves as an abundant source of various beneficial microorganisms.
HEXAfeed is a high-purity biochar certified as a feed ingredient.

7,5 – 9
Specific surface area (BET):
350 – 400 m²/g
Moisture:
20%
Crude fiber:
0%
Calcium:
15-20%
Phosphorus:
1-2%
Available formats:
Granular (3-8 mm) and powder (<1 mm)
Scientific literature has demonstrated that some of the main benefits of incorporating biochar into the diet of livestock and pets include:
Improved food digestibility and feed efficiency, thanks to the stimulation of intestinal flora.
Better intestinal health, due to its ability to adsorb mycotoxins and other harmful compounds.
Reduction of unpleasant odors from manure and urine, thanks to its ability to absorb volatile compounds like ammonia.
In ruminants, its effect on the ruminal microbiota helps reduce enteric methane production.
