| Experiment Title | Effect of biochar and gypsum levels on yield of rice and its residual effect on wheat crop on coastal salt affected soil | ||
| Research Type | Departmental Research | ||
| Experiment Background | Biochar, known as “Black Gold”, is a carbon-rich solid material derived from the Thermo-chemical conversion of biomass (e.g., plant, manure, and sludge) under oxygen limitation. It has been shown by numerous studies that biochar is used as a novel approach with potential benefits to agriculture and the environment. After pyrolysis, biochar became more hydrophobic and recalcitrant due to the formation of aromatic structures, and a negative emission potential of biochar. Earlier published reviews on biochar included a summary of the negative effects of biochar addition on soil physicochemical properties (e.g., pH, soil bulk density, soil porosity, and organic matter). Biochar amendment has been reported to positively influence soil C stability, especially for soil that lacks organic matter. Biochar acts, therefore, as an emerging and attractive option to effectively improve fertilizer utilization performance. | ||
