“…BC also indirectly enhances soil nutrient availability by modifying soil structure, reducing Al 3+ solubility, increasing soil pH, and increasing cation exchange capacity (Martinsen et al, 2014;Waqas et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2014;Butnan et al, 2015). However, the high P availability in BC-amended soil detected in our study supports the findings of Zhai et al (2015) but contradicts those of Ahmed and Schoenau (2015). The reason for this discrepancy with Ahmed and Schoenau (2015) may be differences in the characteristics of the feedstock used, the pyrolysis process used for BC preparation, or soil temperature conditions.…”

“…BC derived from various feed stock sources exhibits high variation in nutrient content; thus BC sourced from a different feed stock may show the same or opposite behavior. Therefore, the hardwood-derived BC in the current study showed the same behavior of increasing soil P availability as that of the maize residue BC used by Zhai et al (2015), but is different from the BC derived from wheat straw, flax straw, and willow stems used by Ahmed and Schoenau (2015). Compared to the control, the lowest amount of nutrients was obtained in the substrate of soybean plants treated with G. geotrichum alone, followed by BC+G.…”

Abstract:We studied the effects of hardwood-derived biochar (BC) and the phytohormone-producing endophyte Galactomyces geotrichum WLL1 in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) with respect to basic, macro-and micronutrient uptakes and assimilations, and their subsequent effects on the regulation of functional amino acids, isoflavones, fatty acid composition, total sugar contents, total phenolic contents, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-scavenging activity. The assimilation of basic nutrients such as nitrogen was up-regulated, leaving carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen unaffected in BC+G. geotrichum-treated soybean plants. In comparison, the uptakes of macro-and micronutrients fluctuated in the individual or co-application of BC and G. geotrichum in soybean plant organs and rhizospheric substrate. Moreover, the same attribute was recorded for the regulation of functional amino acids, isoflavones, fatty acid composition, total sugar contents, total phenolic contents, and DPPH-scavenging activity. Collectively, these results showed that BC+G. geotrichum-treated soybean yielded better results than did the plants treated with individual applications. It was concluded that BC is an additional nutriment source and that the G. geotrichum acts as a plant biostimulating source and the effects of both are additive towards plant growth promotion. Strategies involving the incorporation of BC and endophytic symbiosis may help achieve eco-friendly agricultural production, thus reducing the excessive use of chemical agents.

“…When incorporation into soil, biochar can increase P availability through directly P release from biochar and indirectly improve P use efficiency by changes in soil pH, CEC, structure, decrease P leaching and affect soil P related microbial activity Jiang et al, 2015;Zhai et al, 2015;Christel et al, 2016). Recent review suggested that P values of biochar as a soil amendment were highly depended on soil type, biochar type, and biochar rate (Scott et al, 2014).…”

• Lower pyrolysis temperature (b 400°C) biochar retained P availability and increased plant growth.• Negative (antagonistic) interaction occurred between biochar and P fertilization on the biomass production and plant P concentration • Very limited utility value of biochar application occurred in saline sodic soil. G R A P H I C A L A B S T R A C TThe growth of Suaeda salsa in biochar amended saline sodic soils with (P 1 ) or without (P 0 ) P fertilization.a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o Little is known about the interactive effects between biochar application and phosphorus (P) fertilization on plant growth and P uptake. For this purpose, five wheat straw biochars (produced at 25°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C and 600°C for 4 h) with equal P (36 mg kg −1 ) amount, with and without additional P fertilization (100 mg kg) were applied in a pot experiment to investigate the growth of Suaeda salsa and their uptake of P from biochar and P fertilization amended saline sodic soil. Soil P fractions, dry matter yield, and plant P concentrations were determined after harvesting 90 days. Our results confirmed that relatively lower pyrolysis temperature (b400°C) biochar retained P availability and increased plant growth. The plant P concentration was significantly correlated with NaHCO 3 -P i (P b 0.05), and NaOH-P i (P b 0.1) during early incubation time (4 days) for biochar amended soil. As revealed by statistical analysis, a significant (P b 0.05) negative (antagonistic) interaction occurred between biochar and P fertilization on the biomass production and plant P concentration. For plant biomass, the effects size of biochar (B), P, and their interaction followed the order of B × P (0.819) N B (0.569) ≈ P (0.568) based on the partial Eta squared values whereas the order changed as P (0.782) N B (0.562) N B × P (0.515) for plant P concentration. When biochar and P fertilization applied together, phosphate precipitation/sorption reaction occurred in saline sodic soil which explained the decreased plant P Contents lists available at ScienceDirectScience of the Total Environment j o u r n a l h o m e p a g e : w w w . e l s e v i e r . c o m / l o c a t e / s c i t o t e n v availability and plant yield in saline sodic soil. The negative interaction effects between biochar and P fertilization indicated limited utility value of biochar application in saline sodic soil.

“…It has high carbon content, abundant soil pore space, a large specific surface area, and stable physical and chemical properties [2]. It's helpful to soil nutrient fixation and the improvement of nutrient utilization rate [3,4]. Biochar-based fertilizer is an exclusive slow-release complex fertilizer, which is produced by the incomplete combustion of fodder, corncobs, peanut shells, and agricultural in anaerobic conditions with an admixture of different proportions of nutrients [5].…”

Abstract:The object of this study was to investigate application of biochar and biochar-based fertilizer on the peanuts content of nutrient absorption and yield. The results showed that applying biochar-based fertilizer can improve nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium absorbed dose. In comparison with the lower level of carbon treatment, the higher one nitrogen absorbed dose was obviously increase by 14.62%. In application of biochar-based fertilizer and chemical fertilizer can improve phosphorus absorption significantly compared with carbon alone applied. The potassium absorption content of biochar-based fertilizer (BBF) treatment was the most and increased by 28.39% and 17.47% in comparison with NPK treatment and C15 treatment, respectively. Peanut yield was the highest when biochar-based fertilizer was used. It reached 3494 kg/hm 2 and higher than application of the same level of carbon and nutrient treatment by 16.8%, 9.80%, respectively.
