Abstract:The present study addresses Ghana’s heavy dependence on rice imports, which currently make up over 40% of the nation’s domestic consumption with declining soil fertility. The use of organic and chemical fertilizers to improve soil fertility has had an unintended consequence like the production of methane (CH4) gas. This study investigates the potential of biochar, a promising solution for reducing emissions and enhancing crop yields when combined with silicon (Si). This research assessed the effect of these so… Show more
