Bioformulation of biochar as a potential inoculant carrier for sustainable agriculture

Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2020
Abstract The dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides to increase agricultural outputs owing to the demands of a growing human population creates the need for a sustainable fertilizer. Biochar is presently a promising candidate as an inoculant carrier, given its highly porous structure, with nutrients naturally derived from the biomass, high
