description Abstract The increasing environmental issues and growing interest in utilizing natural resources have led to heightened attention towards renewable energy sources. This has spurred the exploration of sustainable approaches, including ecosystem restoration. The soil’s ability to retain moisture increases with the rise in organic carbon content. As a result of this study, a unique product was developed—microcapsules based on carbonized rice husk and metallurgical slag. Conducted field trials, agrochemical analysis, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis allowed for the assessment of the effectiveness of this additive. The research findings confirmed the positive impact of the mineralogical additive on soil properties, opening up prospects for its utilization in agriculture and environmental management.
