Biochar increases plant-available water in a sandy loam soil under an aerobic rice crop system

The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of biochar rate (0, 8, 16 and 32 Mg ha<sup>&minus;1</sup>) on the water retention capacity (WRC) of a sandy loam Dystric Plinthosol. The applied biochar was a by-product of slow pyrolysis (&sim;450 °C) of eucalyptus wood,...
