To support the search for alternative, nonchemical plant disease control strategies, we
present a review of the pathogen-suppressive effects of biochar, a product derived from …

The use of biochar can improve the various soil properties and reduce erosion. Also, biochar
production has caused the optimal use of agricultural and industrial waste and can convert …

Conventional pyrolysis of agricultural wastes may emit considerable amounts of greenhouse
gases that affect negatively the surrounding environment. A trial was done to capture the …

Biochar is widely recognized as an effective amendment for soils contaminated with
cadmium (Cd). However, the properties and elemental compositions of biochar derived from …

Demand for gasification biochar is expected to increase, owing to the bioenergy
requirements of a sustainable society. Here, we assessed the applicability of gasification …

Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and significantly reduce crop yield. As a
sizable area sown in food legume crops falls under the designation of problem soils, the …

Purpose Scarcity of effective manures frustrates the adoption of organic-based soil fertility
management in tropical agriculture. Cattle dung (CD) is hugely generated but underutilised …

In acid soils, organic amendments surpass lime, which can be detrimental if applied
excessively. Since they are both high in important minerals, researchers are especially …

Paddy rice production may contribute to both the global issues of methane emissions and
food security. Biochar derived from organic wastes may offer a potential solution to address …

The properties of biochar determine its ability to alleviate soil acidity and improve plant
growth; however, its key properties remain unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was …
