Increasing N use efficiency is an important strategy to intensify sustainable agriculture, optimize nutrient use, and reduce loss the environment via different routes. Owing its physicochemical properties, biochar can be used as additive produce biochar-based fertilizers (BFs) with increased efficiency. We investigated availability ammonia from 17 BFs (3%–38% N). release were evaluated by water extraction experiments soil column leaching. (5%–10% N) had average of 64% solubilized after five...
The pyrolysis process of residues has emerged as a sustainable method for managing organic waste, producing biochars that offer significant benefits agriculture and the environment. These depend on properties raw biomass conditions, such washing drying. This study investigated biochar production through slow at 300 °C, using eight types, four being plant (PBR)—sugarcane bagasse, filter cake, sawdust, stranded algae—and non-plant-based (NPBR)—poultry litter, sheep manure, layer chicken sewage...
The increase of atmospheric CO 2 should result in higher carbon fixation by plants the C3 photosynthetic cycle, such as coffee.However, not much is known about relationship between increase, through photosynthesis and potential sequestration soil.Based on hypothesis that there will be greater stabilization soil due to concentration, study was carried a field coffee grown area with FACE (Free-Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment) system.The enrichment treatment maintained concentration this gas 200...
Abstract Residual feed intake (RFI) detects animals that consume less dry matter (DM) adjusted for production and maintenance, differences in the digestibility may explain RFI among contemporaneous cattle. The aim of study was to evaluate relationship between digestibility, RFI, enteric methane emission growing Nellore cattle ( Bos indicus ) divergently classified based on phenotypes also breeding value. One hundred twenty-two submitted performance testing two test groups (249±4.33 days age,...
