Isolation and Properties of Enterobacter sp. LX3 Capable of Producing Indoleacetic Acid

Applied Sciences, 2018
Indoleacetic acid (IAA) can act as a phytohormone to modulate plant growth and development, thus persistent search for IAA-producing microbes is underway for a potential application in promoting plant growth. In this paper, an IAA-producing bacterium was

Impact of continuous nine-year application of biochar on potassium supplying capacity of the soil

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionStraw biochar can significantly increase the content of available potassium (K) in soil, whereas its regulatory effect on soil K supply capacity remains unclear and lacks long-term field verification. To clarify the response mechanism of soil

AI-guided investigation of biochar’s efficacy in Pb immobilization for remediation of Pb contaminated agricultural land

Applied Biological Chemistry
This study evaluated the lead (Pb) immobilization efficiency of biochar in contaminated agricultural soil. The biochar was produced from a range of major biomass residues and pyrolyzed under well-controlled conditions.

Biochar and Trichoderma viride co-application boosts industrial soybean performance under continuous cropping stress via rhizosphere metabolic reprogramming

Industrial Crops and Products
Continuous monoculture of soybean, a key industrial crop for bio-based products, faces severe yield and quality declines due to soil degradation and microbial dysbiosis. Here, we investigated whether biochar and Trichoderma viride co-application (BT) can

Biochar application rates regulate soil nutrient availability: evidence from an 8-year field study across two soils

Biochar
While biochar is widely promoted as a soil amendment for enhancing nutrient availability and carbon sequestration, its long-term effectiveness across diverse soil types under intensive cultivation remains poorly understood. This study quantified temporal

Converting Biochar Into Biochar‐Based Urea Promotes Environmental and Economic Sustainability in Rice‐Wheat Rotation System

GCB Bioenergy
Biochar amendments in rice‐wheat systems are sustainable for reducing GHGs (greenhouse gases) and improving soil health but the widespread adoption of biochar faces economic challenges. To address limitation, a novel biochar‐based urea was formulated for
