Abstract: BACKGROUNDAgronomic uses of biochar have been intensely explored in the last 15 years. Recently, a new generation of biochar‐based fertilizers has been developed. Raw biochar (BCH), nitrogen‐enriched biochar (N + BCH) or urea were added to a coir fiber‐based substrate for tomato cultivation, to assess seed germination, growth and fruiting of two cultivars (Cuarenteno and Moneymaker).RESULTSBCH stimulated seed germination and early radicle growth, possibly because of the presence of karrikins detected in both B… Show more
