The Effect of using Quail Litter Biochar on Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) Production

Biochars can be used as soil amendments for improving soil properties and crop yield. The objective of this research was to study the plant growth, yield, yield components, and seed quality, including nutrients and heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Hg), in the soybean plant (Glycine max L. Merr.) and soil....
