Pyroligneous acid, also called wood vinegar, liquid smoke, pyrolysis water, smoke water, wood distillate, is an amber liquid produced through the natural act of carbonization during charcoal/biochar production - this occurs when wood/biomass is heated in an oxygen starved environment.
Below are articles from around the world looking into the benefits of this liquid for the Agricultural sector.
