Soil and Biochar: Attributes and Actions of Biochar for Reclamation of Soil and Mitigation of Soil Borne Plant Pathogens
摘要
Applying biochar appears to be the most promising emerging tool for managing plant diseases. Biochar induces plant resistance, sorbs allelopathic and fungitoxic compounds and supports an increase in beneficial microorganisms altering soil properties that improve health and nutrient availability. We got the notion that using biochar would result in spectacular outcomes. We examine studies on the use and application of biochar to help researchers and readers broaden their understanding of the potential use of biochar in treating plant diseases with improved soil physics and chemistry.
