Using biochar and urea to improve rice production on tropical acid soils

This book demonstrates how chicken litter biochar can be uses as an organic amendment to condition acid soils to unlock phosphorus and potassium such that only mnimum amount of nitrogen fertilizers such as urea is used in rice cultivation. It also discusses how this approach can be used to increase...
