Studies on the use of biochar as soil amendments have been attracting a
lot of scientific interest. Biochar not only enhances some soil fertility-related
soil properties, but can also sequester soil carbon resulting in mitigation of
global warming. Biochar characteristics vary with their production
conditions, i.e., feedstock and pyrolysis techniques. In addition, their effectiveness as soil amendments may vary in different soils.
BACKGROUND

techniques and their application rates on plant biomass and properties of soils contrasting in texture and mineralogy

BIOCHAR
Biochar was produced from the upper part of 5-year-old eucalyptus
(Eucalyptus camaldulensis) wood under different pyrolysis techniques (Fig 1):
(a) Thai conventional kiln (TK), and (b) flash carbonization (FC) reactor.
Pyrolysis Conditions of Biochar Production
TK biochar was produced at 500oC in a clay kiln (Fig.1a).
FC biochar was produced under a controlled flash fire at 1 MPa for 40
min with peak temperature reaching 800oC in the reaction canister (Fig.1b).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Biochar Characteristics
Biochar proximate analysis; i.e., volatile matter, ash, and fixed carbon
contents, was analyzed using ASTM D 1762-84 standard method, while
ultimate analysis; i.e., element contents, and ash composition were
conducted by Hazen Research, Inc., Golden, Colorado (Table 1).
SOIL
Soils with contrasting texture and mineralogy were used(Table 2,3):
Khorat soil series (loamy sandy, isohyperthermic Typic Oxyaquic
Kandiustults) was collected from 0 – 15 cm-depth soil in Fruit Tree station
,Khon Kaen University, Thailand.
Wahiawa soil series (very fine, kaolinitic, isohyperthermic, Rhodic,
Haplustox) was collected from 0–15 cm-depth soil at the Poamoho Research Station, University of Hawaii, USA.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in the University of
Hawaii, USA testing two corn crop cycles. The experiment was arranged in 2
x 2 x 4 (soils, biochar types, and biochar rates, respectively) factorial
arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications.

EFFECT OF PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE ON BIOCHAR PROPERTIES
Table 5 shows analysis of variance of soil properties of
crop cycle 2.
We considered which soil properties were major
effects of corn growth by using Pearson correlation
between corn biomass vs. soil properties and corn
biomass vs. tissue nutrient uptake (Table 6).
Biochar properties varied significantly depending on pyrolysis conditions.
Biochar effects were more pronounced in the sandy Khorat soil than in clay
Wahiawa soil.
Contrary to expectations, the TK biochar improved soil properties and
plant growth more effectively than the FC biochar.
Increasing biochar application rate increased soil enhancement and plant
growth, except the highest rate. ACKNOWLEGEMENTS

HYPOTHESES
Hyp1. Thai conventional kiln (TK) will produce biochar which has higher
volatile matter (VM) content but lower ash and fixed C than Flash
carbonization (FC) technique. Additionally, TK biochar will has lower
C content but higher O, H, and N content than FC biochar.
Hyp2. Biochar will improve soil properties and plant growth more in the
sandy (Khorat) soil than the clayey (Wahiawa) soil.
Hyp3. FC biochar will be more effective in improving soil properties and
plant growth than the TK biochar.
Hyp4. Increasing biochar application rate will increase soil enhancement
and plant growth.
TK biochar showed less
thermal alteration with higher
VM and lower ash and fixed
carbon content than the FC
biochar (Table 3).
TK biochar had lower
percentage of C but higher O,
H, and N than FC biochar;
further evidence that the FC
biochar experienced a higher
degree of carbonization
Elements which were related
to ash content were higher in
FC than in TK. Therefore, Hyp1
was accepted.

50 Fig 4. Relationship between
biochar application rate vs.
soil bulk density and biochar
application rate vs. tissue nutrient uptake
Corn biomass in both Khorat and Wahiawa soils increased with
biochar application rate (Fig 3), with higher growth response in
Khorat soil than in Wahiawa soil (Hyp2 and 4 were accepted).
However, contrary to expectation, biomass was higher with TK
biochar than with FC biochar (Hyp3 was rejected).
At the highest application rate of Wahiawa soil, corn biomass
statistically decreased.
The increase of corn biomass by biochar application rate was
higher in TK biochar than in FC biochar. Corn growth of FC
biochar decreased at the highest rate.
