Improving soil phosphorus availability and yield of Zea mays l. using biochar and compost derived from agro-industrial wastes

Tropical soils such as Ultisols fix phosphorus (P) because of their characteristically high contents of aluminium and iron. Organic amendments could be used to mitigate P fixation. This study aimed to: i) improve soil P availability, nutrients uptake, and yield of Zea mays L. using biochar and pinea...
