CX-030816: Yardsticking the impact of biochar formulations on soil carbon durability and agronomic performance in hemp-based crop rotation systems

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Washington State University (WSU) to increase durable soil carbon and crop yields while simultaneously decreasing overall carbon intensity and maintaining crop quality in hemp-based crop rotation systems. The award aims to achieve this using various biochar-based and compost-based treatments in laboratory grow experiments followed by fields trials at existing agricultural fields.
