Impact of Biochar Amount on Water Evaporating Capacity of Biochar Blended Soil

摘要

Biochar is most commonly produced material through anenergy conversion process known as pyrolysis.Biochar is a finegrained and porous form of charcoal that is specifically made for useas a soil amendment and soil conditioner. Added to soil, it can helpto boost soil health, with positive benefits to plant growth and diseaseresistance.It is now the subject of academic research which willestablish its potential to support reduced fertilizer use, reducedirrigation and increased yields. Because it supports higher levels ofmicrobiological populations it can be a particularly valuable soilamendment for organic growers. Present study focused on impact ofbiochar amount on water drying capacity of biochar blended soil.Various combinations of biochar blended soil and different amountsof water levels (batch mode) were used in the study and identified thesuitable combination of biochar blended soils to reduce the waterevaporation rate.
