Effect of Compound Biochar Substrate on the Root Growth of Cucumber Plug Seedlings

Since plug seedling plays a key role in automatic transplanting, this work aimed to explore the effect biochar has on the root growth of plug seedlings. The physicochemical properties tests showed that the addition of biochar in the peats could increase the porosity, pH, and EC values of the substra...
