Biochar Production for Green Economy: Agricultural and
Environmental Perspectives addresses the advancements and
developments for the efficient diversification of biochar toward
achieving improved agricultural and environmental benefits.Â
This comprehensive and cohesive volume is the first to address the
potential multi-and transdisciplinary opportunities of effective
biochar production and use. Including the potential applicability
of not only crop waste biochar but weeds, agroforestry,
agroindustry, municipal waste, as well chapters explore surface
modified, enriched or tailored biochar for soil amendment, GHGs
mitigation, bioremediation of organic, inorganic, metals and other
emerging pollutants, as well as soil remediation. It also covers
the trending multidisciplinary approaches of nanotechnology,
surface chemistry and thermal decomposition advancements being
adopted for capacity enhancement and versatile applicability in the
field of agriculture, environment science and green energy
synthesis. Composition and characteristics of tailored biochar,
their interactions, and transformation into the soil and water
ecosystem are illustrated. This book is a valuable resource for
those pursuing biochar related areas as well as those seeking
environmentally sustainable solutions to crop, soil or water
issues.
Broadcasting of fertilizer leads to the loss of 30 - 40% of
nutrients though surface runoff. Band placement of fertilizer in
root zone increases the nutrient uptake by plants thereby
increasing fertilizer use efficiency. The
Subsoiler-cum-Differential Rate Fertilizer Applicator designed in
this research work, applies fertilizer in differential manner in
vertical root profile of crop. Performing two operations in one
pass it also saves energy. This book presents details description
of the design procedure of the equipment and the response of
sugarcane crop to differential rate fertilizer application.
Students of Agricultural Engineering, researchers and industries
will get the idea of differential rate fertilizer application in
vertical root profile of crop and design the needed equipment and
further modify it. It can be an excellent guidance for the farmers
growing row crops and they can save fertilizer to a great extent.
