Title
Response of Soil pH and Nodulation of Three Chickpea Genotypes to Biochar and Rhizobium Inoculation
Patricia J. Macil; John B. O. Ogola; Jude J. O. Odhiambo Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis 2020. doi:10.1080/00103624.2020.1836204
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Biochar raised pH of clay soil by 0.7 units.
- Intervention effect Biochar raised pH of more acidic loamy sand by 0.7–0.8 units.
- Association The biochar-associated nodulation increase was mainly associated with biochar effects on soil pH.
- Association The nodulation increase with inoculation varied among chickpea genotypes.
- Recommendation The authors suggest biochar and rhizobium inoculation to improve soil pH and nodulation in poor chickpea soils.
