ABSTRACT
In cutting-edge scenario, agriculture has dealt with divers demanding situations like ensuring food protection via accelerated earnings and productivity, adapting to climate change, and contributing to global climate change mitigation. To increase those demanding situations, feeding systems should be concurrently enhanced at every level from the farm to the worldwide level. Soil is the most essential resource and the abode for plentiful nutrients and microflora. Due to the speedy depletion of agricultural lands and soil quality via an ever growing population and an immoderate addition of chemical fertilizers, a rehabilitated interest is the need of the hour to maintain sustainable biological technologies in agricultural crop production. Biochar is the solid, carbon-rich substance obtained by pyrolysis of distinct biomasses. It has been extensively documented in preceding research that the crop growth and yield can be accelerated with the aid of biochar. Consequently, it is vital to inform the agriculturalist, the significance of biochar to enhance soil quality, soil health and improve productivity with the aid of enhanced water and nutrient retention. The motivation to have a look at biochar came from the opportunity to remedy many of the challenges facing today’s world. Improving soil health and biomass with coal is predicted on the worldwide level as decorate means of increasing soil productiveness and fertility and additionally mitigating climate change. This chapter exclusively discusses biochar residences and their utilization along with soil microflora and their beneficial role in plant growth promotion, once introduced to the soil.
