“…For instance, significant increment (by 37.9%) in P uptake as compared to control treatment was observed in co-application of compost and biochar (1.0% w/w C) and treated with 100% fertiliser rate. According to Khan and Joergensen (2012) and Agegnehu et al (2016), the incorporation of biochar and compost in soil could potentially improve P availability and significantly stimulate P uptake by ryegrass and maize plant, respectively. This was probably due to biochar's liming effects that decreased P fixation by Al and Fe oxide in the soil (Yuan and Xu 2011;Cui et al 2011).…”

“…It typically contains 40-75% carbon (C), characterized by porous structure, large surface area, and high ion exchange capacity (Lehmann and Joseph, 2009). Application of biochar to saline soils will help to improve soil nutrient content (de la Rosa et al, 2014;Tian et al, 2016), enhance water retentionfertilizer conservation capacity (Gray et al, 2014;El-Naggar et al, 2015;Bass et al, 2016), and promote crop growth (Lashari et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014;Agegnehu et al, 2016).…”
