Biochar-based fertilizers (BCFs) are created by enriching biochar with nutrients to improve soil fertility. Studies show that using BCFs is more effective in enhancing soil quality and crop yields compared to using pure biochar or other fertilizers alone. The most common method for enriching biochar is post-pyrolysis. Future research should focus on understanding how BCFs work over the long term.
