Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Enriched-biochar alone gave higher broccoli crop yield than conventional fertilization.
- Intervention effect Manure pellet alone gave higher broccoli crop yield than conventional fertilization.
- Intervention effect Combined manure and enriched-biochar application did not increase broccoli crop yield over conventional fertilization.
- Intervention effect Enriched-biochar treatment increased NO3-, PO4 3- and SO4 2- levels in broccoli flowering heads.
- Association Some ion contents in broccoli heads may be associated with mineral changes in the soil after biochar amendment.
- Intervention effect Phenolic compounds and indole glucosinolates were higher in broccoli after enriched-biochar application than with the other treatments.
- Mechanism The GSL increase in broccoli is attributed to a higher sulfur percentage in the plant rather than to an adequate N/S ratio.
- Recommendation The authors recommend enriched-biochar amendment in broccoli cultivation because yield is not lost and nutritional compounds increase.
