Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Biochar application significantly decreased soil exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, Al and base cations).
- Intervention effect The interactive effect of N fertilizer, P fertilizer and biochar was significant for soil total N.
- Intervention effect Biochar lowered the internal K use efficiency of rice, which the authors read as a sign that K uptake may benefit from biochar.
- Intervention effect Combined N fertilizer and biochar was as effective as pure P fertilization at increasing straw P uptake.
- Intervention effect Adding biochar to the farmers’ fertilization practice significantly increased rice yield.
- Mechanism The rice yield increase from biochar was mainly owing to more grains per panicle.
- Intervention effect Biochar had no notable effect on rice yield or biomass production.
