Abstract. Biochar is widely recognized as an efficient tool for carbon sequestration and soil fertility. The understanding of its chemical physical properties, which are strongly related to the type initial material used pyrolysis conditions, crucial identify most suitable application biochar in soil. A selection organic wastes with different characteristics (e.g., rice husk (RH), straw (RS), wood chips apple tree (Malus pumila) (AB), oak (Quercus serrata) (OB)) were pyrolyzed at...
Abstract Forms and availability of nitrogen (N) in biochars are influenced by both feedstock pyrolysis temperature. We conducted an assessment to examine how composition temperature impact crucial properties content distributions within biochars. subjected feedstocks with 0.2% 8.9% N at 300 °C 750 °C. Biochars derived from different types (n = 11) were assessed for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total C, water-soluble C (WSC) content, yield, available as well retention. examined the...
CH4 is known to be generated during the most active phase of composting, even in well-managed composting piles. In this manuscript, we studied influence biochar on metabolism cattle manure and local organic wastes. We evaluated presence methanogens methanotrophs piles quantified by level mcrA encoding methyl coenzyme M reductase alpha subunit pmoA particulate methane monooxygenase. A decrease (mcrA) an increase (pmoA) were measured mixture containing composting. During thermophilic phase,...
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major constraint in highly weathered tropical soils. Although phosphorous rock reserves may last for several hundred years, there exists an urgent need to research efficient P management sustainable agriculture. Plant hormones play important role regulating plant growth, development, and reproduction. Humic substances (HS) are not only considered essential component of soil organic carbon (SOC), but also well known as biostimulant which can perform...
The impact of climate change has become increasingly severe in drylands, resulting heat stress and water deficiency and, consequently, reducing agricultural production. Biochar plays an important role improving soil fertility. properties sandy soils where occurs with a greater frequency need to be enhanced by biochar amendments increase the retention capacity (WRC). Few studies have reported effects on readily available (RAW) these or evaluation optimal application rate biochar. In this...
Yield prediction models can be divided between data-driven and process-based (crop growth models). The first category contains many different types of with parameters learned from the data themselves where domain knowledge is only used to select predictors engineer features. In second category, are based upon biophysical principles, whose structure derived primarily knowledge. Here we investigate if integration two approaches beneficial as it allows overcome limitations taken individually -...
Abstract Phosphorus (P) is a limiting factor for plant growth, especially in highly weathered tropical soils. Plants have several mechanisms to overcome low P availability soil, such as humic substances, that reduce phosphate (P i ) adsorption on oxide surfaces and enhance soil availability. However, the direct influence of substances transporters root cells or distribution species leaves remains unclear. Tomato seedlings were grown sand–vermiculite mixture with high concentrations (10 100...
Copper (Cu) is a critical micronutrient for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), essential growth and grain baking quality, yet its availability limited because Cu specifically adsorbed on colloids of highly weathered tropical soils like Oxisols. This study hypothesizes that Cu-doped biochar composites can outperform traditional fertilizers in improving use efficiency. Composites were synthesized from chicken manure (FCM), shrimp shells (FSC), sewage sludge (FSS), doped with copper sulfate...
The coastal regions of Bangladesh host a rich diversity Aman rice landraces, which are crucial for local agriculture but highly vulnerable to natural disasters like cyclones and floods. Specifically, landraces often experience flooding during grain filling maturation stages, sprouts in the field lead severe loss yield. Seed dormancy, delays germination, is key trait escaping sprouting harvesting. However, there lack information on genetic variability existing grown area Bangladesh. This...
Introduction Kakamega Forest, Kenya's last tropical rainforest, faces threats from escalating demands for firewood, charcoal, and agricultural expansion driven by population growth. Sustainable resource management is critical, with maize stover—a common lignocellulosic crop residue—proposed as a source biogas bioslurry production. However, its removal raises concerns about soil fertility erosion control. This study evaluates the trade-off between stover's use energy generation role in...
Compost amendment is considered as a practical tool to increase the soil organic matter (SOM), which contributes agricultural sustainability. The objective of present work was evaluate impacts management over 5 years on orchard prune production (Prunus salicina), microbial activity, carbon (C) fraction, and stabilization degrees humification. Plot experiment designed with two different managements: i) for minimizing anthropogenic disturbances, only mulching residues derived from tree plot...
