Characteristics of latosol soil after application of rice husk biochar in Bogor Regency, Indonesia

Latosol soil is one of the predominant soil types in the Bogor region, but it is characterized by low nutrient content. One approach to improving soil conditions is the use of biochar as a soil amendment. Biochar, being rich in carbon, has the potential to enhance soil quality. This study aimed to e...

description Latosol soil is one of the predominant soil types in the Bogor region, but it is characterized by low nutrient content. One approach to improving soil conditions is the use of biochar as a soil amendment. Biochar, being rich in carbon, has the potential to enhance soil quality. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of soil after the application of rice husk biochar. The application of rice husk biochar was found to influence the characteristics of latosol soil. Higher biochar doses resulted in increased soil electrical conductivity and total carbon content, with the highest values recorded at a treatment level of 125 tons/ha, reaching 335.7 μS/cm and 4.71%, respectively. In this study, the addition of biochar had no effects on soil pH and total nitrogen content. Additionally, silicon content in the soil was enhanced by the application of rice husk biochar. Overall, the application of rice husk biochar can improve the quality of latosol soil in Bogor Regency.
