Effect of acidified biochar on soil phosphorus availability and fertilizer use efficiency of maize (Zea mays L.)
This study evaluated the impact of various biochars prepared from different sources and their acidified forms on soil phosphorus (P) availability and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) of maize (Zea mays L.) crop. Plastic pots of 20 kg capacity (59 × 46 × 15 cm) were filled with 15 kg soil and seven se...

Plastic pots of 20 kg capacity (59 × 46 × 15 cm) were filled with 15 kg soil and seven seeds of hybrid maize (cv. Pioneer 30Y87) were sown in each pot. Various biochars and their acidified forms, including green waste biochar (GWB), acidified green waste biochar (AGWB), corncob biochar (CCB) and acidified corncob biochar (ACCB) were added in each pot t 90 g/pot before seed sowing. The control treatments were; T1 (C + 50% P), T2 (C + 75% P) and T3 (C + 100% P). The experimental treatments included T4 (CCB + 50% P), T5 (CCB + 75% P), T6 (CCB + 100% P), T7 (ACCB + 50% P), T8 (ACCB + 75% P), T9 (ACCB + 100%P), T10 (GWB + 50%P), T11 (GWB + 75%P), T12 (GWB + 100%P), T13 (AGWB + 50%P), T14 (AGWB + 75%P) and T15 (AGWB + 100%P). Results indicated that soil pH decreased (8.5 with AGWB compared to 8.76 with C), soil organic carbon (SOC) was significantly improved with all treatments. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were also influenced by GWB (26 cmolckg−1) and ACCB (7.25 cmolckg−1). Bioavailability of P was highest (90 mg kg−1) with AGWB compared to control treatments.
