Organ specific chrysanthemum biochar for circular waste reuse and sustainable plant production
Researchers studied the use of chrysanthemum waste-derived biochar as a soil amendment for growing new chrysanthemum plantlets. The study found that while biochar can stimulate bioactive compound synthesis, high concentrations negatively impact plant elongation and root development.
Why it matters
This research promotes circular economy practices in horticulture by repurposing agricultural waste into sustainable soil additives.
