Mauget Revive Plus Micronized BioChar Fertilizer
OMRI Listed
Revive Plus is an OMRI Listed soil-applied amendment built to improve soil structure, water dynamics, and biological activity at the root zone. It combines 5-micron micronized biochar with humic and fulvic acids, along with fish hydrolysate, kelp extract, yucca extract, and molasses. Each component has a specific role, and they’re doing different jobs in the soil.
The biochar provides stable carbon with very high surface area, which improves aggregation, increases porosity, and enhances water-holding capacity. It also acts as a long-term adsorption site for nutrients, helping reduce leaching and keeping fertility in the root zone. Humic and fulvic acids bind nutrients in the soil and hold them in a form that stays in the root zone but remains available for plant uptake.
OMRI Listed® products have been independently reviewed and approved for use in certified organic production. This designation gives growers and land managers confidence Revive Plus meets organic standards while supporting healthy soils and resilient plants.

Fish Hydrolysate
Fish hydrolysate is a minimally processed organic input containing amino acids, peptides, and organic nitrogen. Unlike synthetic nitrogen sources, it does not create a rapid flush of growth. Instead, it:
- Provides readily usable nitrogen and carbon for soil microbes
- Supplies amino acids that can be directly taken up by roots under some conditions
- Supports microbial biomass and activity, which drives nutrient cycling over time
Molasses
Molasses is a source of simple sugars (labile carbon).
- Provides an immediate energy source for soil microbes
- Helps increase microbial respiration and activity shortly after application
- Works in combination with biochar by helping populate and activate microbial communities on the biochar surface
Kelp Extract
Kelp extract contains a range of plant-derived compounds, including trace minerals and naturally occurring growth regulators (e.g., cytokinins, auxin-like compounds). In soil systems, it:
- Supports root growth and branching
- Contributes to plant stress response signaling
- Provides additional micronutrients and organic compounds that support both plant and microbial function
Yucca Extract
Yucca contains natural saponins, which act as surfactants. This affects how water behaves in soil:
- Reduces surface tension, improving water infiltration
- Helps water move more evenly through hydrophobic or compacted soils
- Improves wetting of the root zone, especially in dry or sandy conditions
Where to use Revive Plus:
Trees
Improves soil structure and water movement around the root system. Supports fine root development and helps maintain more consistent moisture and nutrient availability under stress.
Ornamental Shrubs & Perennials
Improves root zone consistency by increasing water retention and nutrient holding capacity, reducing swings between dry and saturated conditions.
Turfgrass
Enhances infiltration and reduces runoff while supporting microbial processes tied to organic matter breakdown and nutrient cycling.
Gardens & Vegetable Beds
Builds long-term soil structure, improves nutrient retention, and supports a more active and functional soil biology
