Abstract:This study aimed to (a) analyze the influence of pyrolysis temperature on pistachio shell-based biochar (PSB) properties and (b) assess the PSB effect on green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) growth. Pyrolysis experiments were conducted at different temperatures, determining 450 °C as optimal for soil amendment. The effect of PSB addition at different mass ratios was analyzed considering the physicochemical properties of the mixtures and the agronomic parameters of green bell pepper plants and fruits under gr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
