Local practices for production of rice husk biochar and coconut shell biochar: production methods, product characteristics, nutrient and field water holding capacity

Application of biochar is widely reported to enhance soil quality and decrease leaching of nutrients. In this study, biochar from rice husk and coconut shells were used to determine physico-chemical characteristics, ability on nutrients and water holding capacity in soil. These biochars were produce...
