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. 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.
