Induction of Systemic Resistance in Plants by Biochar, a Soil-Applied Carbon Sequestering Agent
Abstract
Biochar is the solid coproduct of biomass pyrolysis, a technique used for carbon-negative production of second-generation biofuels. The biochar can be applied as a soil amendment, where it permanently sequesters carbon from the atmosphere as well as improves soil tilth, nutrient retention, and crop productivity. In addition to its other benefits in soil, we found that soil-applied biochar induces systemic resistance to the foliar fungal pathogens Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) and Leveillula taurica (powdery mildew) on pepper and tomato and to the broad mite pest (Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks) on pepper. Levels of 1 to 5% biochar in a soil and a coconut fiber-tuff potting medium were found to be significantly effective at suppressing both diseases in leaves of different ages. In long-term tests (105 days), pepper powdery mildew was significantly less severe in the biochar-treated plants than in the plants from the unamended controls although, during the final 25 days, the rate of disease development in the treatments and controls was similar. Possible biochar-related elicitors of systemic induced resistance are discussed.

Biochar strongly reduced disease severity from foliar fungal pathogens in pepper and tomato.
“The potential of biochar for suppression of plant pathogens is also known from the study of Elad et al. (2010), who found strong reduction in disease severity from foliar fungal pathogens in pepper and tomato.”
From Comparing straw, compost, and biochar regarding their suitability as agricultural soil amendments to affect soil structure, nutrient leaching, microbial communities, and the fate of pesticides (2021) · cites this paper as Elad et al., 2010
In foliar pathogen pathosystems, only 2 out of 6 (about 33%) showed potential U-shaped relationships, whereas in soilborne pathogen pathosystems, 20 out of 24 (about 83%) showed such relationships.
“These effects were less evident in foliar pathogens where only 2 out of 6 pathosystems (about 33%) showed potential U-shaped relationships (Elad et al., 2011(Elad et al., , 2010)), whereas the relationships were very common in the soil borne pathogen pathosystems (20 out of 24 pathosystems, about 83%).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
