Chemical properties and microbial responses to biochar and compost amendments in the soil under continuous watermelon cropping
Biochar added to soil can improve crop growth and productivity. However, the mechanisms of crop growth improvement by biochar application are not well understood, particularly in the presence of soil-borne pathogens caused by continuous monocropping. Thus, a two-year field experiment was carried out...
