The increase in nitrogen use efficiency is fundamental to sustainable intensification of agriculture in order to meet the needs of an estimated global population of 9.6 billion people by 2050 and contribute to mitigation of global warming. This proposal aims to evaluate the low-cost technology for biochar (BC - fine coal waste in manufacturing processo of charcoal) as soil conditioner or …
Nitrogen is required in large quantities for biomass production. Around 23% of the fertilizer N in Brazil is used in sugarcane. Besides being the most expensive plant nutrient, N fertilizers are an important component of the environmental budget of biofuel production. It is estimated that synthesis of N fertilizer accounts for about 25% of all the fossil energy spent in field operations f…
Since the first studies with Terra Preta de Índio in Brazilian Amazon, where the high fertility was associated with the carbon present in the form of coal, the use of carbonized material in agriculture, called biochar (BC), is now promising. An important waste of charcoal production are coal fines (particles smaller than 10 mm), which can represent up to 15% of the coal produced. In Braz…
