In this study biochar was modified through pre-treating the biomass and post-treating with phosphoric acid, minerals and different chemical fertilisers to study the effects of two new enhanced biochar fertilisers on the yield and quality of green pepper in a field experiment with 5 fertilisation treatments and 3 replications. The two new biochar fertilisers significantly (P « 0.05) increased the yield of green pepper (11.33–11.47 t ha−1), compared with the conventional chemical fertiliser (9.72 t ha−1). The biochar fertiliser treatments improved the vitamin C content of green pepper from 236.99 to 278.28 mg kg−1, and also significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the nitrate content from 132.32 to 101.92 mg kg−1, compared with chemical fertiliser. This study indicated that, compared to the use of conventional chemical fertiliser, all of the biochar fertiliser treatments could significantly improve the yield and quality of green pepper.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:40 AEDT ]]> Feeding biochar to cows: an innovative solution for improving soil fertility and farm productivity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26306 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:40 AEDT ]]> Biochar-based fertilizer: supercharging root membrane potential and biomass yield of rice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48453 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:52:57 AEDT ]]> Chemolithotrophic processes in the bacterial communities on the surface of mineral-enriched biochars https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33882 Thiobacillus and a novel group within the Oxalbacteraceae were enriched only on the MEBs and they had the genetic capacity for thiosulfate oxidation. All three surface-enriched bacteria also had the capacity to fix carbon dioxide, either in a potentially strictly autotrophic or mixotrophic manner. Our results show the dominance of chemolithotrophic processes on the surface of biochar and MEB that can contribute to carbon sequestration in soil.]]> Mon 21 Jan 2019 15:50:56 AEDT ]]> Effect of clay and iron sulphate on volatile and water-extractable organic compounds in bamboo biochars https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32549 Mon 18 Jun 2018 10:09:16 AEST ]]>
