e1“A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of biochar-based organic amendments on the soil quality of sandy loam soils under cassava (Manihot Esculenta, Crants)–peanut (Arachis Hypogeae L.) cropping sequence”
e5“Cassava was responsive to treatments B2 (biochar, cattle manure, and rice straw) and B3 (biochar and cattle manure) with its actual yield of 27 tons ha−1, which is a 40% increase compared with that in the control”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Biochar-based organic amendments significantly improved soil quality indicators (SOC, total N, available P, Ca, CEC, aggregate stability) relative to unamended plots in a cassava-peanut field experiment.
- Intervention effect Biochar-based organic amendments had no significant effect on soil pH, K and Mg.
- Intervention effect Growth and yield of cassava and peanuts increased with soil quality improvement under the amendments.
- Intervention effect Peanut yields were higher in all amended plots than in the control.
- Intervention effect The highest peanut yield was obtained under B2 (1.38 ton ha−1).
- Intervention effect Peanut yields under B4 followed B2, with 1.36 ton ha−1, then B1 and B3 at 1.33 and 1.25 ton ha−1.
- Intervention effect Treatments B1 to B4 tended to improve cassava and peanut growth and yield.
- Observation Treatments B1 to B4 had a comparable effect on soil parameters.
- Recommendation Incorporating biochar, cattle manure and rice straw into soils is a promising option to maintain soil quality and sustainably produce cassava and peanuts.
