The sorption behavior of chlorantraniliprole (CAP) by biochar and effect of soil extracts on sorptivity in soil-biochar systems were examined. The results showed that biochar amendment could enhance the sorption of CAP in soils. The values of K F increased significantly when the soils were amended with 0.5 % BC850, which were from 1.54 to 196.5. The indigenous sorptivity of biochar was suppressed after it was applied to the soils. The degree of biochar sorptivity attenuation in different soil-biochar systems varied with the properties of soil water soluble matters. Sorption of CAP by biochar from the five soil extracts was found to be lower than that from a CaCl2 solution. The calculated K d values at C w of 0.01 mg kg(-1) for biochar sorption of CAP from CaCl2 solution were 21.4-26.6 times of that from soil extracts. Aging of biochar in soil extract reduced CAP sorption by up to 85 %.

Biochar influences nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in two texturally different soils.

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are vital for crop growth. However, most agricultural systems have limited inherent ability to supply N and P to crops. Biochars (BCs) are strongly advocated in agrosystems and are known to improve the availability of N and P in crops through different chemical transformations.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored the use of different types of biochar (from animal manures and plant residues) as soil amendments to improve nutrient retention in acidic soils for wheat and soybeans in a no-tillage system.
  • - Results showed that applying biochar significantly influenced nutrient levels (NPK) and soil pH in the top 5 cm of soil, while deeper layers did not show the same impact, indicating varying effectiveness based on soil depth.
  • - Overall, biochar improved nutrient retention and soil conditions (increased pH, reduced exchangeable Al) in surface soil, but its performance varied depending on nutrient type and soil depth, highlighting the need for careful application in sustainable farming.

Utilizing digestate as a fertilizer enhances soil nutrient content, improves fertility, and minimizes nutrient runoff, mitigating water pollution risks. This alternative approach replaces commercial fertilizers, thereby reducing their environmental impact and lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with fertilizer production and landfilling. Herein, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of various soil amendments, including carbon fractions from waste materials (biochar, compost, and cocopeat), and food waste anaerobic digestate application methods on tomato plant growth (Solanum lycopersicum) and soil fertility.

Low temperature pyrolytic biochar is a preferred choice for sulfonamide-Cu(II) contaminated soil remediation in tropical climate region.

Biochar is getting increasing consideration for eco-friendly soil amendment and environmental remediation. Once added to the soil, biochar would undergo the natural ageing process, affecting its physicochemical properties and, as a result, the adsorption and immobilization of pollutants in the water and soil. To evaluate the high/low temperature pyrolyzed biochar performance on complex contaminants and the effect of climate ageing, the batch experiments were conducted on the adsorption of the pollutants of antibiotics sulfapyridine (SPY) and a typical coexisting heavy metal Cu as one or binary system on low/high pyrolytic temperature biochars before and after the simulated tropical climate and frigid climate region ageing treatment.
