Assessment of Feedstock Materials for Producing a Suitable and Cost-Effective Biochar to Use as a Soil Amendment for Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Creator:

Kumari, Pooja

Abstract:

Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...
