Agricultural production in semi-arid environments represents a significant challenge, as these are areas that have soils with limited nutrient availability and scarcity of precipitation, which require adaptive and innovative strategies. The application of biochar to improve soil quality and increase productivity has been well studied. However, there is still a gap regarding the use of biochar with the technique of incorporating different topsoils on plant development and soil health. This technique has emerged as an alternative for producers to increase soil fertility. This technique is emerging as an alternative for producers to enhance soil fertility. The hypothesis of the present study is that the use of biochar associated with the topsoil technique increases the productivity and yield of cactus, mainly by changing the properties of the soil and its microbiological interactions. To test this hypothesis, we used different sources of biochar (bean husk, coffee grounds and soursop residue) in association with two types of topsoil (Acrisol and Luvisol). Our analyzes revealed changes on plants development, chemical and microbiological soil attributes. The topsoil technique significantly interfered with mean cladode length (COM), stem diameter (DI), plant height (AL), pH, Na+, K+ and urease enzymatic activity, while biochar had a significant effect on microbial respiration rate. In general, our results expand the knowledge about the use of biochar associated with topsoil, suggesting it as a promising, low-cost way that guarantees the conservation and health of the agroecosystem, contributing with important information for the development of alternative technologies to conventional ones.
