Experimental test of cotton production with biochar amendment in a farmer's environment ; Belgique

Agriculture in Burkina Faso rely on mineral fertilizers to reach decent crop production. Therefore, there is an urgent need to implement sustainable solutions that improve soil nutrient status while maintaining crop yields. Here we experiment the recycling of nutrients through the production of biochar from cotton stalks and its mixing with compost to improve soil properties of highly weathered lixisol in a farmer's environment ; ARES-BIOPROTECHSOL
