Determining the Stability of Sugarcane Filtercake Biochar in Soils with Contrasting Levels of Organic Matter

Sugarcane filtercake is a nutrient-rich residue produced prior to sugarcane distillation and is commonly disposed of by applying directly to agricultural fields, often causing high decomposition and leaching rates. Transforming this material into biochar could improve its stability in the soil. In t...
