NPK + biochar appears to increase yield when biochar makes nutrients available through plant roots and mycorrhizal hyphae, and when biochar reduces nutrient loss through leaching or other factors. The

Tomasco, When the orchard owners calculate their NPK do they do it based on the harvested yield. In this case, the yield would represent the nutrients mined from the soil. If not than the yield based

I think that Mike has hit on something important that seems to have been lost in all of the other calculations. Much resides in the ROI for the farmer and the cost/availability of biochar v. NPK. If y

Mike, I agree complete regarding the application rate. I will reach out to those involved in the research to see why they choose those rates and what they are planning for their present trials. Person

Here are a couple of studies conducted by Univ of Washington on the San Juan Islands, WA a few years ago. It was a multi-year study. The first year measured the NPK retained by biochar enhanced soil v

Tomasco, In designing your NPK leaching mitigation experiment you may want to consider looking at a 2 season time span, as your experimental timeline. This 2 season look allows you to see which season

Tomaso, Many biochar makers and users are taking a different approach from using biochar alone as the preferred soil amendment and are pre-charging the biochar with microbiota. This approach abandons
