| Experiment Background | Sugarcane is one of the most important industrial cash crops in both tropical and subtropical region of the world and a major export product of many developing countries.Nutrient management is most important in high demanding sugarcane crop for better growth and economical production. This commercially grown sugarcane crop responded to high dose of fertilizer and productivity may be increased, but there may be adverse effect on soil as well as environment and also reduces the profitability of farmers.Biochar has emerged as an organic amendment with mineral nutrient elements and hold a promise to improve the soil quality and yield of crops in recent years. The biochar is found to have positive impact on soil fertility. resulting in an increase in crop yield without causing hazard to soil and water environment. Further, addition of biochar with bio compost and NPK fertilizers to soils has attracted widespread attention as a method to improve soil fertility and productivity. Biochar and bio compost application increased soil carbon sequestration and improve soil quality because of the vital role that carbon plays in chemical, biological and physical soil processes and many interfacial interactions. The application of biochar, alone or in conjunction with fertilizers, as some biochars may favorably alter the chemical, physical, and biological conditions of some soils (Chan and Xu 2009; Theise and Rillig 2009). If biochar application to soil enables decreased fertiliser use, this may further reduce emissions from fertiliser manufacture.Therefore, this experiment is proposed. | ||
