Seedling establishment is often a critical bottleneck in the revegetation of mine tailings and similar substrates. Biochar deactivated yeast are potential sustainable materials that could be used this context as seed coatings to aid seedling establishment. We conducted greenhouse study on biochar use coatings, assessing germination, establishment, early growth white clover (Trifolium repens) purple prairie (Dalea purpurea). Coated seeds were applied tailing, coarse granitic sand, potting soil mix substrates; monitored over 75 days. enhanced Trifolium, with plus giving best results. In some cases, these effects persisted throughout experiment: resulted ~fivefold increase Trifolium biomass at harvest for plants but had neutral sand or tailings. also Dalea germination benefits did not persist. Our results indicate biochar-based can have lasting plant well beyond emphasize highly species-specific responses highlight need further study.

Excessive Cd accumulation in soil reduces the production of numerous plants, such as Sophora tonkinensis Gagnep., which is an important and widely cultivated medicinal plant whose roots rhizomes are used traditional Chinese medicine. Applying a mixture biochar organic fertilizers improved overall health Cd-contaminated increased yield quality . However, underlying mechanism between this mixed fertilization improvement remains uncovered. This study investigated effect fertilizer application (BO, to ratio 1:2) on growth soil. BO significantly reduced total content (TCd) rhizosphere water content, nutrient levels, enzyme activities Additionally, α diversity bacterial community had been after treatment. Soil pH, carbon dissolved were main reasons for fluctuation dominant species. Further investigation demonstrated that abundance variable microorganisms, including Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadetes, Patescibacteria, Armatimonadetes, Subgroups_ 6, Bacillus Bacillus_ Acidiceler , was also changed All these alterations could contribute reduction and, thus, increase biomass secondary metabolites (matrine oxymatrine) Our research co-application has potential enhance productivity plants by regulating microorganisms

Biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a promising environmentally friendly soil enhancer biostimulant, play crucial role in sustainable agriculture by influencing properties plant growth. This research investigates the chemical of three biochar types [bamboo (BB-char), corn cob (CC-char), coffee grounds (CG-char)] derived from different biomass sources their impact on quality Chinese kale The results reveal significant differences among biochar. Particularly, CG-char showed greatest pH value phosphorus content, with an average 10.05 0.44%, respectively. On other hand, CC-char had highest potassium 2.16%. Incorporating into degraded enhances structure, promoting porosity improved texture, as evidenced scanning electron microscope images revealing distinct porous structures. Soil chemistry analyses treatment T2–T14 after 42-day cultivation demonstrate pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, carbon levels comparison to control (T1). Furthermore, assesses growth photosynthetic pigments. additions, especially 5% BB-char AMF, positively influence growth, chlorophyll pigment levels. Notably, lower concentrations (5%) exhibit superior effects compared higher (10%), emphasizing importance optimal application rates. study also delves total phenolic content leaves, that synergistic effect AMF compound accumulation. combination influences health, quality, nutrient cycling mechanisms. Overall, indicates multifaceted dynamics, need for tailored strategies optimize benefits agriculture.

Recent climate variability, limited fertile land availability and soil degradation are major constraints to achieve food security for an ever-increasing human population. The adoption of intensive agriculture practices highly productive agrosystems coupled with use agrochemicals has caused significant increases in production worldwide. This exhaustive system generation accumulation large quantities organic wastes, which cause environmental pollution, deteriorate health increase public hazards. Conventional methods waste management such as situ burning landfilling chemical labour intensive, expensive energy-consuming, negatively impact the environment. Therefore, sustainable, eco-friendly socially acceptable agri-technologies have been developed value-added wastes obviate pollution problem. These biological technologies composting, anaerobic digestion, vermicomposting, biochar, phytostimulants, bioremediation pollutants opened new vista management. addition processed amendments (i.e., compost, vermicompost, biogas slurry biochar) matter nutrients availability, stimulates microbial community, contributes towards biocontrol pathogens also causes detoxification pesticides. Furthermore, amendment material, singly or beneficial microbes, improved health, promoted growth plants increased crop yields less dependency on fertilizers. In this article, current used accumulated discussed improving sustainable production, while maintaining sustainability.
