Effects of co-composting of farm manure and biochar on plant growth and carbon mineralization in an alkaline soil.

In the present study, the effects of co-composts of biochar (BC) and farm manure (FM) on the growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and carbon mineralization in an alkaline soil were investigated. The co-composts of FM and BC were prepared at various ratios (FM:BC, FM:BC, FM:BC, FM:BC, FM:BC) using aboveground piles and were used in two separate experiments conducted simultaneously.
