Biochar as a by-product of the carbonization of biomass has an inherent potential to modify
acidic soils due to its alkaline nature. To explore the mechanism and effectiveness of …

Soil acidity is a major problem of agriculture in many parts of the world. Soil acidity causes
multiple problems such as nutrient deficiency, elemental toxicity and adverse effects on …

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Aluminum toxicity and phosphorus deficiency are
adverse conditions in tropical acid soils which conventional liming materials (CLM) alone …

Production of biochars from agricultural wastes reduces significantly the volume and weight
of the wastes, and hence, it can be considered as a promising means for managing the …

High salinity and severe acidity are the two primary constraints of acidic and salt-affected
soil, leading to phytotoxicity of sodium (Na), aluminum (Al), and iron (Fe), as well as …

The alleviation effects on soil acidification by different raw materials and pyrolysis
temperatures can broaden the utilization of biochar. In this study, nine types of biochar …

Strongly acidic soil (eg p H< 5.0) is detrimental to tea productivity and quality. Wheat, rice
and peanut biochar produced at low temperature (max 300° C) and differing in alkalinity …

Biochar has been suggested for application in acidic soils for increasing agricultural
productivity, as it may result in the benefits of sustainable carbon offset into soils and of …

Application of biochar to soil has increased considerably during recent years because of its
effectiveness as a soil amendment causing beneficial effects on soil health. However, the …

Soil acidity may severely reduce crop production. Biochar (BC) may increase soil pH and
cation exchange capacity (CEC) but reported effects differ substantially. In a systematic …
