14 Traditional Use US (1847) Elad et al. 2010, Phytopathology Charcoal absorbs and condenses the nutritive gases within its pores. Charcoal often checks rust in wheat, and mildew in other crops Ammoniacal liquor holds large quantities of nitrogen,.charcoal dust may be added,..the charcoal soon combine with the ammonia,..it is a powerful manure, Guano should be mixed with twice its bulk of charcoal dust Steiner et al. 2010, J. Environ. Qual. Danny Day and others Charcoal should be added to liquid manure to absorb the ammonia Poudrette is the name given to the human faeces after they have been mixed with charcoal dust.. A dressing of charcoal has in many instances, been found so beneficial that it has been extensively introduced in France for the wheat crop The turnep (Brassica rapa.) Charcoal dust applied in the same way has been found to increase the early growth from four to ten-fold.
