Abstract
Quantifying the impact of biochar on carbon persistence across soil textures is complex, owing to the variability in soil conditions. Using artificial soils with precise textural and mineral compositions, we can disentangle the effects of biochar from the effects of soil particle size. We can show that biochar application significantly reduces the early-stage carbon mineralization rates of plant residues in various soil textures (from 5 % to 41 % clay) but more significantly in sandy soils. Clay and silt particles alone also reduce C mineralization, but the magnitude of the changes is negligible compared to the impact of biochar. This finding suggests that biochar can compensate for the lack of clay in promoting C persistence in soil systems. This short report contributes substantially to understanding soil texture and biochar application interactions.

The aim was to verify the viability of foliar fertilisation of calcium(Ca) and boron (B) in soybeans (Glycine max) in soils with variousfertility levels. The experiment was carried out in four agriculturalseasons and designed in randomised blocks, with threetreatments and seven replications. The treatments were asfollows: control, and Ca and B spraying on soybean plantswithout and with amino acids. Spraying was carried out at theflowering of the crop one time. It was concluded that there weresignificant differences in the yield components in the two crops,when the experiment was installed in soils with lower fertility, inwhich the foliar fertiliser with amino acid stood out. When therewas a significant difference in productivity, the B content wasaltered; the value in the grains that received the product withamino acids was greater than the treatment without amino acidsand above the treatment in which the plants were not sprayedwith foliar fertilisers. Therefore, we highlight that Ca and B foliarfertilisation is especially required for soils with low CEC and Cacontents. However, this technique will likely not improve soybeanperformance for soils with no nutrient deficiency.
