Polyvinyl Acetate Binders Undermine the Effectiveness of Biochar-Based Seed Coatings
Pyrolyzed organic matter, commonly referred to as biochar, generally has positive effects on plant growth and can enhance early seedling development.Biochar-based seed coatings may thus be beneficial, specifically under adverse soil conditions such as high soil salinity.Using a series of lab and greenhouse experiments, we evaluated germination and
