Thanks a lot. Best Regards

water holding capacity of biochar is depends on the types of oxidized vegetation residues!

and Degree of Humification!

The more humified it is , the more water holding capacity of biochar it is!

Sai Shankar Sahu

Volume of water retained by biochar divided by volume of biochar, gives water holding capacity of biochar.
