Influence of biochar on the vegetative and generative growth of ‘Meredith’ peach trees

Many studies have confirmed positive effect of biochar as a soil conditioner that can increase in short time the amount organic matter (SO) and reserves carbon (OC) soil. The use also contributes to eliminating effects fatigue, especially perennial fruit crops. In our study, was applied spring 2014 cultivation one-year-old peach trees cultivar Meredith. Biochar, an fertilizer, microbiologically enriched compost were arable layer. experiment, three combinations with used: (1) at 1.6 kg/tree, (2) kg/tree + 0.3 (3) fertilizer 0.2 kg/tree. first growing season, no changes found after biochar. highest number yield fruits 2015 obtained from treated compost, lowest combination where used treat trees. 2016, largest their greatest weight re­corded for whereas control produced yields. microorganisms improved vegetative growth compared
