Abstract

The use of biomass can contribute to improve the soil properties.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fertilization with poultry litter biochar in combination with mineral fertilizer on soil chemical attributes, growth and yield components of sunflower.For this purpose, a greenhouse experiment was carried out in pots with a capacity of 20 dm 3 under randomized design, with treatments arranged in a factorial 5 × 4 design with four replicates.The treatments consisted of five doses of mineral fertilizer (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% fertilization recommendation) with NPK (100, 300, and 150 mg kg -1 ) and four doses of biochar of poultry litter, 0; 5% (400 g/pot); 10% (800 g/pot) and 15% (1,100 g/pot) calculated based on the volume of the soil.The results showed that fertilization with poultry litter biochar of 400 g/pot, increased soil salinity of the experimental units.Besides, there was a reduction in the number of leaves (NL), plant height (PH), stem diameter (SD) and number of achenes for each head (NAH).Fertilization with 50% of NPK recommendation (50:150:75 mg kg -1 ) produced the highest growth and yield components of sunflower, compared with other NPK treatments.The combination from 50:150:75 mg kg -1 (50%) of NPK fertilization and 1,100 g/pot of poultry litter biochar promoted larger head diameter (HD) of sunflower.

  • Addition of 10% (w/w) poultry litter biochar decreased the number of leaves, plant height, stem diameter and number of achenes for each head of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants.

    “In contrast, addition of 10% (w/w) poultry litter biochar decreased the number of leaves, plant height, stem diameter and number of achenes for each head of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants (Furtado et al., 2016), while biochar (corn cob biochar produced at 450 °C by slow pyrolysis technique) applied at 20 t ha -1 did not significantly improve growth of Soybean (Glycine max L.) on a sandy”

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.
