In our research, biochar application was not found to increase yields of bromegrass, barley, kale, carrot or potatoes during the three year field trials. Biochar was found to inhibit potato yields and reduce their tol- erance to frost. Biochar was not found to affect soil nitrogen retention, however, it was found to increase tissue nitrogen in bromegrass. Biochar application altered the uptake characteristics of several nutrients and minerals as well, it changed some soil chemical characteristics.
