Utilization of Invasive Weed Biomass for Biochar Production and Its Application in Agriculture and Environmental Clean-up

Abstract

In modern agriculture practices, weeds by advantage of their vibrant and resilient nature pose a constant problem in the agricultural sector and deemed a threat to biodiversity. The common issues linked with invasive species including risk to the native species, excess use of herbicides affects the biological pollinators, competition for the light, water and nutrients that can make a community more vulnerable to re-invasion of weed species.
