Pyroligneous Acid Effects on Crop Yield and Soil Organic Matter in Agriculture—A Review by Jens Leifeld, Iva Walz

“…Soil organic matter content shows a small but significant positive response to PA application, but the amount of data is very small compared to the plant parameters. The major shortcomings identified include inconsistent measures of applied PA (amount and composition) and the short duration of experiments of typically only 1–2 growing seasons, which prevents analysis of long-term PA effects. …”
