Impact of biochar on citrus rootstocks growth, nutrient uptake, root system architecture, and soil properties
Lorenzo Rossi
Citrus greening (Huanglongbing, HLB) continues to threaten citrus production in the United States, particularly in Florida, by impairing root growth and nutrient uptake. Concurrently, citrus producers are actively seeking alternatives to traditional chemical fertilizers, which raise concerns regarding soil sustainability. Organic amendments are widely used to improve soil organic matter (SOM) and overall soil health in agricultural systems across the United States. Among these amendments, biocha
