ABSTRACT Introduction Previous studies showed that biochar amended soils significantly enhanced the growth and yield of quinoa under water limitations. So it becomes an emerging agronomic strategy to consider for sustainable production. Biochar can specifically be considered area particularly receiving low annual rainfall more vulnerable current climate change conditions. Materials Methods A field experiment was conducted using variety INIA 415 Pasankalla, employing a factorial design assess effects different application rates made municipal pruning waste agricultural (0, 1, 2, 3 t·ha⁻¹), three irrigation intervals (irrigation every 5 days, 10 15 days). The volumetric soil moisture content, hydraulic properties, quinoa's biometric characteristics components were evaluated. Results results indicated longest (10 days) resulted in levels between 19% 40% below wilting point (soil matric potential: −1.5 MPa), creating stress However, increased capacity from 0.31 0.38 g H₂O g⁻¹ soil, raised air content 22% 29% at irrigation, promoted absorption point. Furthermore, t·ha⁻¹ yield, increasing 3.18 4.22 t·ha⁻¹, along with improvements leaf area, total biomass, root length, panicle length by 70.74%, 76.54%, 14.34%, 16.55%, respectively. Conclusions It concluded mitigated negative caused prolonged intervals. This treatment improved soil's physical properties enabled Pasankalla achieve yields close its theoretical productive potential.

Extensive research has been conducted on the application of pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) biochar for soil amendment. However, hydrochar from liquefaction (HTL) received little attention regarding its potential such application. This paper aims to fill this knowledge gap. In study, corn stover-derived HTL at 280 °C was characterized using suitable analytical techniques determine functional groups, specific surface area, morphology. The effects water holding capacity (WHC) retention sandy loam resistance biodegradation were also studied. BET area found be 27.6 m2/g. particles are micro-sized stacking nanometer-thick foliates. hydrochar-amended consistently showed better WHC ranging 50 55% compared unamended 48%. A similar trend observed over a period four days. No notable 106 days in wet ambient temperature. Overall, these results demonstrate as valuable amendment enhance agriculture sustainability.

Mining activities often contaminate soils with heavy metals, generating environmental and health risks. This study investigates the ecotoxicity of muddy (Mw) sandy (Sw) mining wastes on Phaseolus vulgaris assesses impact five locally sourced biochar amendments plant growth soil pore water (SPW) properties. Most biochars improved retention, except for argan nut shells (An) biochar, highlighting importance feedstock type. Sw supported better than Mw regardless addition, due to textural differences. Palm fronds (Pf) significantly enhanced surface leaf area in Sw. SPW analysis revealed that affected pH electrical conductivity (EC) differently across types. consistently increased pH, while Sw’s was biochar-dependent. A significant 5.1-fold EC increase recorded amended Pf. All reduced Pb availability at planting, Cu decreased harvest. In Mw, Pb, Zn, Cu, uptake accumulation were unaffected by a slight reduction observed roots. germination test Lepidium sativum confirmed these findings, particularly inhibition An. dual approach highlights toxicity biochars’ potential as remediation programs.

Abstract Applying biochar (BC) and integrating cover crops (CCs) into crop rotations may enhance soil health. However, studies on the combined effects of these practices physical health are scant. Therefore, this study evaluated BC, CC, their (BC + CC) application properties medium fine‐textured soils in Ohio. In fall 2020, 10 Mg ha −1 pine ( Pinus L.) wood chips derived BC was applied. Rye Secale cereale winter wheat Triticum aestivum were planted as CC 2021 2022, respectively. Soil properties: bulk density, penetration resistance (PR), water retention, wet aggregate stability assessed 2023. Note that 2 years CCs alone did not generate evident any soil's properties. adding improved some specific properties, with varying by texture. medium‐textured soil, reduced PR from 1.18 MPa unamended control to 0.89 at 7.5‐cm depth, while increased mean weight diameter 0.6 mm, reaching 4.1 mm compared for 0‐ 10‐cm depth. moisture retention field capacity 0.36 0.39 cm 3 −3 plant available 0.13 0.16 5‐cm The 32% 0.93 Overall, highlights potential combining improve health, paving way management practices.

ABSTRACT The ability of biochar to improve soil's physical properties and change the crop yield in acidic soil is still debated. Additionally, factors influencing biochar's performance are not well understood. This meta‐analysis, combined with random forest regression, structural modelling partial Mantel test, analysed 1889 paired observations based on 65 peer‐reviewed articles indexed Web Science. findings indicated that application tropical climate zones (pH < 7) over 3 years typically increases porosity (23%), mean weight diameter (MWD) (46%) (38%) while decreasing bulk density (SBD) (−19%). In addition, continental climatic increased field capacity (15%) plant available water (47.3%). minimum effect was observed pH 5. Biochar produced from wood feedstocks, pyrolysed at 450°C–500°C, range 7–8, rates > 40 t ha −1 , carbon 60%, nitrogen 1.5%, ash 10% a 0.2 g·cm −3 highly effective. Among factors, annual temperature (MAT) relatively most important key factor determining SBD (21%), MWD (15%), hydraulic conductivity (22%) (15%). Therefore, 5–6), having initial organic 0.87%–1.74%, coarse texture (MAT 25°C–32°C, precipitation 800–2450 mm), ideal for improving yield. Overall, study emphasises potential varying conditions better agricultural management practices.
