Effect of biochar amendment on soil enzymatic activities, carboxylate secretions and upland rice performance in a sandy clay loam Alfisol of Southwest Nigeria
Field studies were conducted over two years to determine changes in soil biochemical properties and rain-fed upland rice yield as influenced by biochar amendment. Treatments consisted of incorporation of rice husk biochar at different rates (B1 = 0, B2 = 3 t ha−1, B3 = 6 t ha−1, and B4 = 12 t ha−1)....
