Effect of the co-application of olive waste-based compost and biochar on soil fertility and Zea mays agrophysiological traits by Youness Bouhia, Mohamed Hafidi, Yedir Ouhdouch, Mohammed El Mehdi El Boukhari, Youssef Zeroual, Karim Lyamlouli

“…Single application of biochar had a negative impact on mycorrhizal symbiosis and was statistically insignificant for soil viable cultivable microorganisms. Conclusion Overall, single application of compost gave the best results in terms of plant growth and soil fertility improvement; thus, a synergistic effect of both amendments was not observed, which could be due to the quantity of the applied biochar and the duration of the experiment.…”
