dc.description.abstract Agro-Waste WS was used to produce precious organic BC fertilizer products costeffectively along administering it. The char created using agro-biomass waste was used back for agriculture which makes it more suitable to develop crop productivity & decrease environmental concerns of usual fertilizers. Moreover this char helps recover the soil due to its near to 7 pH, adding of higher quantity of carbon and lesser SI properties. The research work focuses on synthesis of BC into an advanced enhanced BC manufactured material followed by testing if the BC produced from WS could soak up nutrients & also be a support material for discharging of micro and macro nutrients for the crops on slow releasing basis. Biochar and Nano-char were prepared by pyrolysis at two dissimilar temperatures following fusion of nutrient into the WBC via impregnation method. Both nano-biochars were identified by FT-IR, BET, XRD, SEM/EDX and TGA. Properties such as Ultimate analysis and proximate along other factors were also calculated using standard control guidelines. Experiments were also done on Water Retention, WA, SR and EWC for all biochar samples; results were compiled and evaluated for the best char. SLS performed displayed release model of some of the macro and micro nutrients for extended periods which is significant to plant growth & its yield. In general the experimental data exhibited that biochar is a high-quality material however the BNC has better results, an environment friendly product which could be utilized as a possible fertilizer via slow liberation for green and sustainable agro processes. en_US
