[Terrapreta] biochar and no-till

[Etelvino Henrique Novotny]

Dear Lou, I didn't make a revision on the subject or some experiment,
but I suggest the application of the fine grounded charcoal together
with some cultural practice, for example seedling or fertilizer. May

mainly N...

All the best, Etelvino.
