Biochar and sewage sludge phosphorus fertilizer effects on phosphorus bioavailability and spinach ( Spinacia oleracea L.) yields under no-till system in semi-arid soils by Ugele Majaule, Oagile Dikinya, Bruno Glaser

“…Accumulation of M3-P in control plots confounded correlations between crop yields and available P. Higher P under BC compared to SS amended soils emphasize biochar capacity to capture P from irrigation water.Conclusion The results suggest that combined low rates of SS and BC can have significant effects on P availability and crop yields. …”
