Taiwan Research: Interplanting Napier Grass with Sunn Hemp Enhances Carbon Storage Without Soil Acidification
CARBON CAPTURE
Research from Taiwan's TLRI reveals that interplanting Napier grass with sunn hemp significantly enhances carbon storage and prevents soil acidification, outperforming traditional nitrogen fertilizers. This method increased soil organic carbon by 3.6% to 5.5% over three years, while also demonstrating similar benefits from cow dung without altering soil pH. The study underscores the advantages of organic farming practices in mitigating soil acidification and improving carbon sinks.
