बायोचार: फोहोरलाई मलमा रूपान्तरण गर्ने नयाँ प्रविधि

बायोचार भनेको कृषि फोहोर वा जैविक अवशेषहरू (जस्तै धानको खोस्, मकैको डाँठ, गाईको गोबर, काठका टुक्रा आदि) लाई अक्सिजन कम भएको अवस्थामा तताएर बनाइने कालो पदार्थ हो।

Biochar Boosts Soil Microbial Diversity and Nutrient Cycling Across Tobacco Growth Stages

A new study published in Biology and Fertility of Soils reveals that biochar significantly enhances soil microbial diversity, nutrient availability, and enzyme activity during tobacco growth. The moderate biochar treatment (0.9 t/hm²) improved pH, phosphorus, and potassium levels while boosting genes linked to carbon and nitrogen cycling, offering valuable insights for sustainable soil management.
