ASPECTS OF THE USE OF BIOCHAR IN AGRICULTURE, OVERVIEW

Abstract

Research on the use of biochar represents a growing need for sustainable methods to improve soil quality in the face of global climate change and increase interest in effective management of organic waste and ecosystem approaches in agriculture. Biochar, which is a carbon product of pyrolysis of organic materials, has become the subject of intensive scientific research due to its numerous beneficial properties: improving soil structure, increasing its fertility, increasing water retention, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, the use of biochar as an alternative tool for improving agricultural efficiency has attracted increasing attention in the scientific and practical environment. The use of biochar allows not only to improve soil quality and increase yields, but also to reduce the negative impact of agroecological factors such as erosion and soil degradation.
