Maize-Straw Biochar Enhances Soil Properties and Grain Yield of Foxtail Millet in a Newly Reclaimed Land

Maize-Straw Biochar Enhances Soil Properties and Grain Yield of Foxtail Millet in a Newly Reclaimed Land

Large-scale land reclamation has become common in northwestern China; however, low soil fertility and poor soil water-holding capacity limit agricultural production on these reclaimed lands, requiring increased fertilizer and irrigation inputs. Biochar, produced from agricultural waste, has shown po...
