“…The resulting biochar exhibited the following elemental composition: C, 43%; N, 27%, K, 2%; P, 2.5% (Chew et al, 2020). Carneiro et al (2021) produced P-enriched biochar from chicken litter and coffee husk enriched with phosphoric acid and magnesium oxide combined with triple superphosphate. The kinetic study showed that the biochar-based fertilizer acted as a slow-release fertilizer, releasing 10% of its total P content in the first hour, whereas the triple superphosphate released up to 90%.…”

“…As such, their application to soils increases the concentrations and availability of nutrients for plants. For example, a significant increase in the fractions of labile P in the soil was observed after applying P-enriched biochars ( Ahmad et al., 2018 ; Lustosa Filho et al., 2020 ; Carneiro et al., 2021 ). The addition of wood and maize cob biochar enriched with anaerobic digestate increased the macronutrient contents (110%–230%) compared with the unenriched biochars and control treatments ( Kizito et al., 2019 ).…”

Biochar is a carbonized biomass that can be used as a soil amendment. However, the exclusive use of biochar may present some limitations, such as the lack of nutrients. Thus, biochar enrichment techniques have made it possible to obtain biochar-based fertilizers (BCFs), with great potential to improve soil fertility. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of information about the description, advantages, and limitations of the methods used for biochar enrichment. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the production methods of enriched biochar and its performance in agriculture as a soil amendment. Studies demonstrate that the application of BCF is more effective in improving soil properties and crop yields than the exclusive application of pure biochar or other fertilizers. The post-pyrolysis method is the most used technique for enriching biochar. Future studies should focus on understanding the mechanisms of the long-term application of BCFs.

Vermicompost (VC), a stabilized organic material with high organic and humic carbon, and favorable aggregation properties, was tested as a fraction of organo‐mineral fertilizers (OMFs), where organic and mineral fractions interact in hotspot areas with surrounding soil. Solutions containing 33P radioisotope and 15N‐labeled mineral fertilizers were combined with VC at two ratios of organic carbon (Corg) to mineral nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) (OMF7.5C and OMF15C) to simulate OMF granules. Control treatments included unfertilized soil (N0P0), mineral fertilizer (MFNP), and sole VC at two rates (OF7.5C and OF15C). Nitrogen and P uptake by Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) were measured over in 8 weeks. Furthermore, MFNP, OMF7.5C, and OMF15C treatments were incubated for 10 days without plant to measure atom% 15N excess and 33P radioactivity, as indicators of N and P movement from two soil layers (surrounding fertilizer hotspot and below it). In the pot study, OMF15C caused 24% lower biomass and less nutrient recovery derived from fertilizer (N, 11% and P, 8.5%), compared to MFNP. In the incubation study, OMF15C exhibited +19% atom% 15N excess in the combined two soil layers, relative to MFNP, and +28% 33P radioactivity in the soil surrounding the hotspot, and −89% in the soil below it. We interpreted this as a reduction in nutrient availability of the combined VC + mineral fertilizers, due to lower P mobility in soil. The combination of VC with mineral fertilizers can reduce P movement in soil. A higher Corg:N:P ratio resulted in lower nutrient use efficiency in 2 months.

Nano‐biochar: Properties and prospects for sustainable agriculture

Biochar is an extremely valuable carbon black material used since the Pre‐Columbian Era in Latin America and is known for its properties to promote soil fertility and sustain crop production. Modern civilization has followed the footsteps of ancient civilizations and has prepared nano‐sized biochar (nano‐BC). The synthesis of nano‐BC can be achieved using different feedstock materials via pyrolysis, yielding bulk‐BCs which are mechanical transformed into the nano‐BCs, the final value‐added product. This review provides insights into structural, functional, and elemental properties concerning synthesis, surface properties including functional groups, and carbon stability. Moreover, the prospects of improving soil physicochemical properties including CEC, nutrient availability, soil water retention, and buffering capacity are discussed with agricultural implications. Mechanistic insights have been provided regarding how nano‐BC can improve soil health and could promote plant growth and physio‐biochemical properties, which further pave the way for its application to improve plant resilience to abiotic stress factors. Last, limited studies have been conducted that elucidate potential negative effects including contaminant mobilization and residual effects and these are also critically discussed. Above all, nano‐BC could be used as a beneficial soil amendment to boost crop production and enhance soil fertilities.
