Application of biochar to the soil improves its physical, chemical and biological characteristics, promoting plant growth and productivity. The potential of biochar for carbon sequestration and its ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions make it a very interesting alternative to counteract the adverse effect of climate change. The study examined the use of Biochar to enhance carbon sequestration and growth of maize in theSudan savanna zone of Nigeria. The experiment was conducted during the dry season of 2021/2022 at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Federal College of Horticulture, Dadin Kowa, Nigeria. Treatments involved seven levels of biochar (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 t ha-1) which laid out in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Data were collected on growth parameters, yield and yield components and post-harvest soil parameters were also determined for each treatment. Results indicated that biochar improves soil properties such as soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and water-holding capacity of the soil. Carbon was sequestrated with biochar application and significantly higher under 40 t ha-1 treatment. It is recommended that biochar could be used for improved soil properties and carbon storage to mitigate the greenhouse effect. ; La aplicación de biocarbón al suelo mejora sus características físicas, químicas y biológicas, favoreciendo el crecimiento y la productividad de las plantas. El potencial del biocarbón para el secuestro de carbono y su capacidad para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero lo convierten en una alternativa muy interesante para contrarrestar el efecto adverso del cambio climático. El estudio examinó el uso de Biochar para mejorar la captura de carbono y el crecimiento del maíz en la zona de sabana de Sudán en Nigeria. El experimento se realizó durante la estación seca de 2021/2022 en la Granja de Enseñanza e Investigación del Colegio Federal de Horticultura, Dadin Kowa, Nigeria. Los tratamientos involucraron ...
