- Additional information
- Hydrochars produced from the hydrothermal treatment of biomass are frequently phytotoxic when used as biochar (reduced germination, positive worm avoidance). We show that delipidation acts to ameliorate these effects. Our study has informed further understanding of the mechanisms of hydrochar phytotoxicity and the impact of phytohormones (or their mimics) in germination inhibition (Navarro-Lopez et al, 2020, 10.3390/molecules25030664).
