Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The use of biochar as a soil amendment has garnered significant attention due to their potential to enhance various soil properties. However, the adsorption capacity of biochar may influence the weed control efficiency of pre-emergent herbicides applied to the soil. Therefore, understanding the interactions between biochar and herbicides is crucial for effectively controlling Palmer Amaranth and crowfoot grass in the light-textured soils of Alabama.
