Immobilization and deactivation of pathogenic enzymes and toxic metabolites by biochar: A possible mechanism involved in soilborne disease suppression

2018-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Adding biochar to soil and soilless media can help protect plants against diseases caused by soilborne pathogens. There are a number of direct and indirect mechanisms that are potentially responsible for this effect. This study tested the hypothesis that biochar adsorption and consequent deactivation of cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) and toxic metabolites produced by soilborne pathogens can help defend plant...
