Popis: The study was carried out to examine the effect of different ratio combinations of biochar (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 t/ha) and poultry manure (0, 4 and 8 t/ha) in an ultisol of South-East, Nigeria. The 8 treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in the field. Surface (0-30 cm) soil properties were determined before and after planting, and ginger yield (t/ha) taken at harvest. Results showed that all the selected soil chemical properties and fresh rhizome yield of ginger significantly (p
