Non-chemical Control of Root Parasitic Weeds with Biochar

Non-chemical Control of Root Parasitic Weeds with Biochar

This study tested whether soil-applied biochar can impact the seed germination and attachment of root parasitic weeds. Three hypotheses were evaluated: (i) biochar adsorbs host-exuded signaling molecules; (ii) biochar activates plants’ innate system-wide defenses against invasion by the parasite; an...
