Biochar-Based Granular Fertilizers with Agro-Industrial Binders Enhance Enzymatic Activity and Nutrient Cycling in Tropical Oxisols
José Mendes dos Santos Júnior, Luiz Arnaldo Fernandes, Fernando Colen, Leidivan Almeida Frazão e Rodinei Facco Pegoraro Abstract Abstract The low fertility of tropical Oxisols challenges sustainable agriculture. While biochar-based granular fertilizers (BBGFs) offer a solution, the influence of different organic binders is unclear. This study investigated how BBGFs formulated with bio-oil (BO), pyroligneous extract […]
Mitigating agricultural risk under future climate: assessing maize cycle and yield in Brazil
Taís Souza dos Santos Dias, Izael Martins Fattori Jr, Marina Luciana Abreu de Melo, Henrique Bauab Brunetti, Livia Betanho Sandoval, Isabelle de Oliveira Bonaldi & Fabio Ricardo Marin Abstract Climate change directly impacts agricultural production, distribution, and accessibility, thereby affecting global food security. There is an urgent need to increase agricultural production by adapting cropping […]
