- Intervention effect Combining biochar and lime raised cowpea revenues by up to 84.6%.
- Intervention effect The control generated greater net revenue than lime alone.
- Intervention effect Traditional-kiln biochar increased net revenue 94% compared with liming.
- Observation Prototype kiln production cost USD 0.87–2.06 kg−1.
- Observation Traditional kiln production costs were significantly lower at USD 0.03–0.08 kg−1.
- Observation Carbon credits were estimated as the largest potential income source at USD 2217 ha−1.
- Recommendation The authors recommend public policies and technological adaptations to aid biochar adoption.
