e0“Cucumber yield, net income, nutrient content such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were significantly higher in the co-applied biochar with farmyard manure and NPK than the sole application of the NPK and the manure.”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Biochar with manure and NPK increased soil pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon and cation exchange capacity versus sole inputs.
- Intervention effect Cucumber nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents were higher with the combined treatment.
- Intervention effect Biochar with NPK gave higher soil available phosphorus and nitrogen than biochar with manure.
- Intervention effect Biochar with NPK gave higher cucumber yield and net income than biochar with manure.
- Intervention effect Biochar with NPK produced higher macronutrient constituents than biochar with manure.
- Recommendation The authors conclude biochar with NPK is more effective for reclaiming low fertility tropical soil than biochar with manure.
