Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect A 40 Mg ha −1 biochar application increased soil pH by 0.52 units.
- Intervention effect A 40 Mg ha −1 biochar application reduced exchangeable soil Al by up to 53%.
- Intervention effect Intermediate to high biochar with 25–50% lime improved soil K, B and Cu availability.
- Intervention effect Intermediate to high biochar with 25–50% lime improved soil Zn availability.
- Intervention effect Cowpea shoot biomass showed limited response to biochar.
- Intervention effect Biochar increased cowpea Cu and Zn uptake.
- Recommendation The authors propose açaí biochar with reduced lime to improve fertility and uptake.
