Co-Composted Biochar Improves Barley Yield, Manure Use Efficiency and Offsets Chemical Fertilizer Demand in Organic Agriculture Under Low Rainfall Conditions
Short Introductive summary
Co-composted biochar with manure has been successfully used to increase organic barley yield cultivated on marginal land in a low-rainfall year, offsetting the use of conventional inorganic fertilizers, while maintaing organic carbon in soil. This is an encouraging win-win-win result for organic farmers on how to optimize the nutrient value of on-farm manure.
