This study investigated the potential of biochar as a sustainable material for waste utilization and carbon sequestration in soil. Biochar was prepared from cow manure (CM) and applied to the soil. Biochar was processed by subjecting CM to various temperature ranges (400 CMB400, 550 CMB550, and 700 °C CMB700) under nitrogen gas (allowed to flow to restrict oxygen), with residence time set to 3 h. The characteristics of the biochar produced at each temperature were analyzed. The experiment was conducted for approximately 15 weeks with the laboratory temperature maintained between 24 and 26 °C. The growth rate of plants was obtained by measuring their length weekly, starting 4 weeks after crop establishment. CMB550 exhibited the highest specific surface area (117.57 msup.2 gsup.−1) and well-distributed pore size; therefore, it was mixed with the soil at a specific ratio and put in pots for the planting of Salicornia herbacea L. (glasswort) in the laboratory. The results demonstrated that adding biochar to soil increased plant growth and that the biochar could store organic carbon. In addition, an investigation of heavy metals demonstrated that samples with biochar had lower heavy metal concentrations in glasswort than those without because of the potential of biochar to adsorb heavy metals. By interacting with heavy metal ions in soil solution, the reactive sites and functional groups on the surface of biochar immobilize them and lessen their potentially detrimental effects on plant growth. Overall, biochar has the potential to be a valuable resource for waste management and environmental improvement.
