The results of the biochar application in drainage and drainage-free plots of the Luvic Anthrosols are presented for the biochar applying doses of 1 and 3 kg/m2 in the conditions of the Primorsky territory. During the first growing season the applied biochars have been essentially physically grinded with significant increasing their specific active surface and water-holding capacity. There was observed the obvious positive effect of biochar application on the investigated Luvic Anthrosols’ hydrophysical properties and organic carbon content too after the growing season. As a principal result crops’ yield increased up to three times in the experiment versions with biochar dose of 3 kg/m2 at the plots without drainage. At the same time there wasn’t observed the significant increasing in the crops’ yield at the plots with drainage. The results obtained allow us to assess the prospects for the use of bio-coal in the Far East of the Russian Federation for the cultivation of vegetable crops.
