Rhizoctonia solani suppression and plant growth promotion in cucumber as affected by biochar pyrolysis temperature, feedstock and concentration
2014-02-01
Abstract excerpt
The soil application of biochar, the solid carbon-rich product of biomass pyrolysis, may improve soil quality and crop productivity. Recently, soil applied biochar was found to reduce severity of foliar diseases and soilborne diseases in various crops. Biochar characteristics are expected to affect its disease suppression capability, as there is a profound variability in the physical and chemical properties of bio...
