The biochar used in our experiment (BioDea ® ) was produced (by BioEsperia srl, Arezzo, Italy) through pyrolysis at temperatures ranging from 600 to 650 °C, using a mixture of agricultural woody residues, (i.e., Castanea sativa Mill., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Fraxinus ornus L., Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn., and Quercus robur L.). Subsequently, the biochar was mechanically collected, resulting in a product with minimal ash content and a high concentration of organic carbon. Finally, the biochar was finely ground and put into an aqueous solution to allow for its application by fertigation in crop fields. The chemical characteristics of the used biochar are reported in Table 1.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
