Abstract

Nitrogenous fertilizer drift from farmlands accelerates nitrogen loads in groundwaters. Biochar potential to mitigate nitrogen leaching in urea treated sandy soil was monitored in a four weeks screenhouse leaching column experiment. The trial was a factorial combination of two biochar types (B1 and B2 applied at 5 t/ha) and two urea treatments (with urea at 120 kg/ha and without urea) laid in completely randomized design with three replications. Control that received neither urea nor biochar was compared. Four weekly leaching events were conducted in each leaching column containing 300 g soil amended with appropriate treatments. Amaranthus hybridus was the test crop. The NH4-N and NO3-N leached were generally highest during the week 2 leaching event such that total NO3-N leached was 427.3 % higher than total NH4-N leached with highest contributions from sole urea treatment. Biochar pretreatment reduced total N leached by 9.5 (B1) and 26.8 % (B2) relative to sole urea. Percentage of N added lost to leaching was highest (34.1 %) in sole urea treatment with B1 and B2 pretreatment reducing the value by 54.5 and 46.9 % respectively. Correlation analysis revealed electrical conductivity of the leachate and soil as dominant indicators for N leached in the soil studied.
