The use of biochar, a charred organic material, is becoming a sustainable technology that leads to the improvement of highly weathered tropical soils. A study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Calabar to compare the effects of integrated use of Biochar (B), Poultry Manure (PM) and urea on the pH and microbial properties of soil-grown with Amaranthus cruentus.
