An exiting new Titan biochar product was showcased at the 2017 Melfort Research Farm Annual Field Day. The Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) provided a 20 minute presentation on the new phosphorous enhanced biochar pellets that can be used in air seeding applications.   Following the presentation by AAFC, Titan’s Jamie Bakos provided an introduction to Titan and displayed samples of the new product.
