How can Lantana camara be sustainably repurposed?	ANTANA camara, a widespread invasive weed, can be sustainably repurposed as biochar, a potent soil amendment.	ANTANA camara, a widespread invasive weed, can be sustainably repurposed as biochar, a potent soil amendment. Lantana, ranked among the top 10 invasive species globally, poses significant threats to biodiversity, public health, and livestock. Recent field experiments reveal that Lantana biochar significantly improves chickpea growth, yield, and soil health, transforming a problematic weed into a valuable resource for sustainable agriculture. Its biomass, however, presents an opportunity: When processed into biochar through slow pyrolysis, it yields a carbon- rich soil amendment with high porosity and nutrient retention characteristics. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), a key pulse crop, stands to benefit from improved soil quality and nutrient availability facilitated by biochar amendments.	0	factual	1.0	https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IndFarm/article/download/173390/63523/499905	ANTANA camara, a widespread invasive weed, can be sustainably repurposed as biochar, a potent soil amendment.	1	[{"evidence_id":"B000009","location":{"page":1,"block":9,"bbox":[45.35,406.26,294.14,601.9],"column":0,"reading_order":9}}]
