A pressing need has come to the fore improve sustainability as well use of low-cost agricultural organic materials that boost both poor soil characteristics, leading better plant growth, while at same time developing resilience climate change effects. To achieve this purpose, biochar (BC), a carbon-rich by-product matter pyrolysis under high temperatures and partial or complete hypoxia known for its porous nature, affects physiochemical properties evapotranspiration (ET). In article, history definition BC were investigated. Current knowledge about BC's production process, how alters soil's physical chemical properties, most recent studies on amendment interaction with various plants' ET examined. This review concludes is paramount carbonaceous material improves soils, depending dose, texture initial pH, moisture macronutrient availability which possibly be reason behind increasing low doses amended soils.

Abstract Biochar incorporation into soil has shown potential, in enhancing nitrogen fertilizer (N-fertilizer) efficacy and organic carbon content (SOC). This study addresses a critical gap the literature by investigating effects of biochar addition over seven-year period (2014–2020) on inorganic N, SOC, pH Haplic Luvisol. The research involved rain-fed field experiment, with crop rotation comprising spring barley, maize, wheat, pea.

Continuous and excessive use of synthetic fertilizers in food production generates strong pressure on agroecosystems. Therefore, it is necessary to study standardize alternatives that promote environmental health, such as biochar. Biochar (a blackish solid obtained from the pyrolysis vegetable waste, industry animal or water processing waste) characterized by its high content mineral carbon, presence functional groups, richness nutrients potassium (K+). Its soils improves organic matter cation exchange capacity (CEC), which promotes crop nutrition. In addition describing biochar manufacturing processes, this chapter aims emphasize role a fertilizer, stimulating effects soil microbiome enzymatic activity, positive plant health. Understanding biofertilizer can be considered an ecological strategy for production. However, agricultural sector must consider limitations fertilizer.

Long-term application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer adversely degrades soil and decreases crop yield. Biochar amendment with N not only can increase yield but also improve the soil. A 3-year field experiment was conducted to determine effect biochar doses on maize water dynamics under border irrigation (BI) drip (DI) methods. Treatments were 260 kg ha-1 without addition combined low, medium, high biochar, namely, 15.5 t ha-1, 30.7 45.3 (NB0, NB1, NB2, NB3), respectively. The methods significantly (p < 0.05) increased growth characteristics, use efficiency (IWUE), (FNUE) enhanced properties. In BI DI method, NB3 treatments by 4.96%-6.10%, 8.36%-9.85%, 9.65%-11.41%, respectively, compared NB0. terms IWUE FNUE, non-biochar treatment had lower FNUE both in NB2 ranged from 3.36 3.43 kg-1, DI, it maximum, ranging 5.70 5.94 kg-1.
