Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect T5 gave the highest bacterial count at pod development, 39.0 x106 CFU g-1 soil.
- Intervention effect Biochar at 6 t ha-1 increased bacterial populations over non-biochar treatments.
- Observation Fungal and actinomycete populations followed the bacterial-count trend.
- Intervention effect Biochar treatments produced significantly higher soil urease activity than non-biochar treatments.
- Association Increasing biochar rates markedly increased soil urease activity.
- Intervention effect Soil dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase followed the biochar response trend.
- Intervention effect T5 yielded the highest leaf area index at pod development, 3.16, above T1, T2 and T6.
- Intervention effect T5 gave highest dry matter at peg penetration, 2951 kg ha-1.
- Intervention effect T5 gave highest dry matter at pod development, 6428 kg ha-1.
- Intervention effect T5 gave the highest groundnut pod yield, 4019.58 kg ha-1.
