Effects of different biochar application rates on soil fertility and soil water retention in on-farm experiments on smallholder farms in Kenya
Biochar is produced through pyrolysis, the thermo-chemical degradation of biomass under anaerobic or oxygen-limited conditions. Due to its properties related to surface area and porosity, bulk density, nutrient content, stability, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH value, and carbon content, biochar...
