Did you know that applying 15 tons per hectare of biochar can enhance soil water availability by 5.4% with reduced tillage and by 5.0% with no-till management? Although biochar doesn’t impact agrochemical properties much, it positively influences soil CO2 emissions, showing beneficial effects on soil processes. Over a 3-year period, biochar led to lower CO2 emissions compared to other management practices. Plus, it doesn’t affect methane or nitrous oxide emissions, nor does it increase the levels of potentially toxic elements like iron, manganese, or zinc in the soil. For sandy loam Cambisol, using biochar with reduced or no-till methods is a smart choice for healthier soil!
