Table 2: Analysis of variance summary of the effects of biochar source, biochar rate, time, and their interaction on soil pH and water-soluble (WS) phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), sulfur (S), manganese (Mn), and sulfur (S) over the 2023 growing season under simulated-furrow-irrigated rice on a silt-loam soil in the greenhouse.
