Abstract
⺠Biochar sequesters carbon in soil and significantly affects pesticide behavior. ⺠Biochar prevents pesticide leaching but enhances pesticide persistence in soil. ⺠Pesticides preferentially associate with biochar causing concentrated hotspots in soil. ⺠The effect of biochar on pesticide behavior lasts for long periods in soil (>2 years). ⺠Biochar may potentially suppress the effectiveness of pre-emergent herbicides in soil.
