Naturally Better Farming
the effects of different irrigation levels, compost application, and wood vinegar foliar spray on the yield and quality of wheat (Triticum … of wood vinegar application (water only, 1:100 dilution, an
soil content of available N, P, and K with increasing rates of applied biochar and wood vinegar. The application of biochar and wood vinegar increased wheat grain and straw yields compared to the cont
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different liquid smoke concentrations on the growth performance, weight gain, survival rate, and … Liquid smoke treatments were prepared by dissolving the r
Therefore, it is imperative to focus on sustainable agricultural inputs such as pyroligneous acid. Pyroligneous acid (PLA, also known as liquid smoke or wood vinegar) is a condensate obtained during p
This study evaluated the individual and combined effects of wood vinegar (pyroligneous acid), rice husk biochar, and a microbial inoculant comprising Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus megaterium, and L
Furthermore, the highest increase in chlorophyll a was observed in the treatment of 2 mg/L wood vinegar without amino acid and in the combination of 0.5 mg/L amino acid with 6 mg/L wood vinegar. The t
To identify the optimal ratio for enhancing soil phosphorus availability, this study examined the effects of biochar and wood vinegar, applied individually and in combination at various ratios, on the
Wheat and maize growers farming saline or alkaline soils have new research to consider — a two-year field trial published in the Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition found that wood vinegar applied as a foliar spray increased wheat yields by 12.4 to 44.3% and maize yields by 6.8 to 13.7% in a saline-alkali […]
Paddy rice growers investigating soil health inputs will find a useful reference point in research published in the Korean Journal of Crop Science, which examined how wood vinegar application affected soil chemical properties and rice growth when combined with rhizosphere microorganisms and fertiliser. The pot trial tested four factors simultaneously — two soil types, three […]
Turnip growers and vegetable producers take note — a new preprint study published on SSRN reports that wood vinegar application promoted turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) growth by enhancing nitrogen uptake and improving photosynthetic activity. The research found wood vinegar enhanced fertiliser efficiency, with treated plants accumulating significantly higher nitrate-nitrogen levels in both leaves and […]
