“…The positive effect of BC application on plant accumulation of elements was observed only for K. Although this element was applied to the soil as a fertilizer at the beginning of the experiment, BC increased K availability and its accumulation in the tested plants during the whole experiment ( Figure 1, Table 2). The same results -increase of K Kraska et al (2016) after application of BC derived from wheat straw. The content of K was increased in spring spinach (72% on average), mustard (16%) and autumn spinach (36% on average) by BC.…”

Zemanová V., Břendová K., Pavlíková D., Kubátová P., Tlustoš P. (2017): Effect of biochar application on the content of nutrients (Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P) and amino acids in subsequently growing spinach and mustard. Plant Soil Environ., 63: 322-327.The objective of this study was to assess the effect of biochar on growth and metabolism of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and mustard (Sinapis alba L.) planted in crop rotation: spinach (spring)-mustard-spinach (autumn). The impact of biochar soil application (5% per mass of soil) on the availability of Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na and P to plants as well as the content of free proline and total amino acids contents were evaluated at degraded Chernozem soil. The results showed that biochar soil addition significantly increased spinach growth by 102% and 353% in spring and autumn, respectively. Biochar limited plant content of Ca, Mg and Na, however K content increased in all plants. Inconsistent effect was determined for Fe and P content in plants biomass. Total content of free amino acids was higher in plants harvested at amended treatments, except autumn spinach. Biochar increased proline content in all plants in comparison to control. The highest increase was obtained in mustard -by 186%. The results showed a more sensitive reaction of mustard to biochar application than spinach.

Proline (Pro) is specific free AA which is involved in stress metabolism and tolerance of plants (Pavlíková et al. 2014). Our study aimed to compare the ability of spinach and mustard accumulation of nutrients and amino acids as a response to biochar application to soil. MATERIAL AND METHODSExperimental design and soil characteristics. The experiment was conducted at greenhouse controlled conditions. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and mustard (Sinapis alba L.) were chosen as experimental plants, while the crop rotation was spinach-mustard-spinach. Firstly, spinach was sown in March and harvested after 64 days. Mustard was sown in May and harvested after 35 days. Late spinach was sown in August, harvested after 64 days. Biomass of both spinaches was sampled once during vegetation, after 42 days. Modal Chernozem soil (2.5 kg; Prague-Suchdol, Czech Republic; pH KCl = 7.2, cation exchange capacity (CEC) = 258 mmol + /kg, C org = 1.83%, available content of elements: Ca = 6754 mg/kg; K = 233 mg/kg; Fe = 153 mg/kg, Mg = 191 mg/kg; P = 74 mg/kg) was uniquely fertilized with 0.1 g N, 0.16 g P and 0.4 g K per 1 kg of soil (applied in the form of NH 4 NO 3 and K 2 HPO 4 ), only at the beginning of the experiment. The experiment consists of 2 treatments: (i) control (without BC) and (ii) 5% of the applied BC from total mass of soil (BC 5%) thoroughly mixed with soil volume.Biochar characteristics. Detailed biochar properties were described in Břendová et al. (2016). Bioc...

“…Moreover, biochar application increases water retention in the soil, which may in turn affect favourably the growth and development of plants during water deficit periods. In experiment of Kraska et al (2016), an increase of grain yield was due to the fact that application of biochar enriched the soil with high amount of magnesium and potassium. In their studies, as in our study, the highest dose of biochar (30 t ha ).…”

The food industry faces the problem of soil contamination and consequently the deterioration of the quality of plant products. Here, we present a study on evaluation of the effect of fertilization with sewage sludge (SL) with varying, rates of biochar (BC 2.5, 5 and 10% of DW) on yield quality and the accumulation of heavy metals in wheat grains. The greatest grain yield with the highest content of protein and gluten as well as the highest total content of phenols and flavonoids, was obtained when SL+5%BC fertilization was applied. The addition of 5%BC and 10%BC to SL resulted in the greatest increase in the antioxidant capacity of grain. Among phenolic acids, syringic acid was found in the largest amount in grain in the SL+2.5%BC treatment. A significant decrease in Pb accumulation in wheat grain after application of SL+5%BC and a successive decrease in Al content with increasing BC addition were observed. To increase the quality of wheat grains and to reduce the bioaccumulation of harmful elements after the application of biochar to the soil is important in the context of food safety and health of humans especially in food production on acidic and/or contaminated soils.

“…Secondly, biochar contains a high amount of vital plant nutrients (depending upon feedstock and production conditions) ( Table 4). According to [23,24], biochar needs to be used along with mineral fertilizer because they observed that biochar application increased nitrogen utilization from the applied fertilizer and thus increased the crop yield. For these reasons, we noticed that biochar application enhanced plant growth more than the control, and became more effective when combined with digestate compared to the use of mineral NPK.…”

Abstract:Despite the recent interest in biochar and digestate as soil amendments for improving soil quality and increasing crop production, there is inadequate knowledge of the effect of the combination of biochar and digestate, particularly under saline irrigation conditions. A pot experiment with Chinese melon was conducted in a greenhouse, biochar (5%) and digestate (500 mL/pot) were used with and without the recommended mineral NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) fertilizer dose (120-150-150 Kg ha −1 ). The plants were irrigated with tap water (SL0) and 2 dS/m (SL1) NaCl solution. The growth, photosynthesis rate, water use efficiency (WUE) and yield of Chinese melon were affected positively when biochar was combined with digestate amendment, particularly under saline irrigation water with and without mineral NPK fertilizer. The maximum yield under normal water was obtained by digestate (SL0: 218.87 t ha −1 ) and biochar amendment combined with digestate (SL1: 118.8 t ha −1 ) under saline water. The maximum WUE values were noticed with the biochar and digestate combination under all water treatments (SL0: 32.2 t ha −1 mm −1 and SL1: 19.6 t ha −1 mm −1 ). It was concluded that digestate alone was more effective than the use of biochar, particularly with normal water. The combination of biochar with digestate had a significant effect on the Chinese melon growth, photosynthesis rate, water use efficiency and yield under saline irrigation, and it can be used as an alternative fertilizer for mineral NPK fertilizer.
