Abstract The main aim of this study is to determine the physical and chemical properties of biochar synthesized from different materials (straw rice, sawdust, sugar cane, and tree leaves) at different pyrolysis temperatures (400, 600, and 800 °C). The physical and chemical properties such as moisture content, water holding capacity, bulk density, and porosity; and pH, […]

Drought stands out as a prominent abiotic stressor affecting plants, particularly impactful in arid and semiarid regions, posing a substantial threat to global food security. Biochar, characterized by an expansive surface and high porosity due to carbon-rich pyrolysis exhibits significant water retention capacity. Rhizosphere-dwelling microorganisms, referred to as rhizobacteria, encompass the category of Plant Growth-Promoting […]

Biochar: The Backbone of Sustainable Agriculture and Enhanced Soil Health In the face of escalating environmental challenges and the urgent need for sustainable agriculture, biochar emerges as an innovative and effective solution for improving soil health and boosting agricultural productivity while promoting environmental sustainability. This article explores the nature of biochar, its benefits, and its […]

Biochar and compost are able to influence the mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. As such, they can be useful in restoring the functionality of contaminated soils, albeit their effectiveness can vary substantially depending on the chemical and/or the (micro)biological endpoint that is targeted. To better explore the potential of the two amendments […]

Summary The misuse and overuse of pesticides have led to severe pollution of agricultural soils, impacting both environmental and human health on a global scale. Biochar, recognized for its eco-friendly characteristics, has emerged as a potential solution for immobilizing pesticides within the soil, thus mitigating pollution. This review critically examines the dual nature of biochar’s […]

An ancient soil amendment – biochar – could be a promising tool for future soil health enhancement and maintenance, according to a study by the Texas A&M Department of Horticultural Sciences.
