Sequestration of atmospheric carbon to the soil is a challenging task for the scientific community to mitigate the rising concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Biochar, due to its aromatic structure
and long mean residence time in the soil (more than 100 years) has the potential for long-term carbon sequestration in the soil. The trend obtained from the meagre published literature raised our hopes of achieving the goal of enhancing the productivity of different crops along with environmental sustainability. According to an estimate, global production of black carbon has been reported between 50 and 270 Tg yr
