State of the art Interactions biochar/microorganisms in soil
• In greenhouse studies, biochar added at 1.5 and 3.0% (wt/wt) to field soil caused proportional increases in root weights and linear reductions in the percentage of root lesions caused by Fusarium species.
• Addition of aromatic acids that are known allelopathic agents reduced AM colonization but the deleterious effects were not observed following the application of biochar at the higher rate.
Effect of Biochar Amendments on Mycorrhizal Associations and Fusarium Crown and Root Rot of Asparagus in Replant Soils (Elmer, et al. 2011)
Rhizoctonia solani suppression and plant growth promotion in cucumber as affected by biochar pyrolysis temperature, feedstock and concentration (Jaiswal et al. 2014)
• Influence of biochar produced from different feedstocks and at different production temperatures on its ability to suppress Rhizoctonia solani in cucumber
• At higher concentrations, biochar was ineffective or even increased the disease incidence and severity

State of the art Interactions biochar/microorganisms in soil
Biochar soil amendment increased bacterial but decreased fungal gene abundance with shifts in community structure in a slightly acid rice paddy from Southwest China (Chen et al. 2013)
Control Biochar 20 T/ha Biochar 40 T/ha
• Effect of biochar on gene copy number of fungal 18S rDNA significantly decreased by 35% and 46% under biochar at 20 and 40 T/ha respectively

Conclusions
• Biochar produced from different feedstock and at different production temperatures
Affect the soil born pathogen : suppressive effect on the growth of fugal phytopathogen
Effect related to chemical characteristics of biochar (fungicide molecule) but also to the presence of some microorganism on the biochar
Affect spore germination of mycorrhizae : the effective dose for toxic effect depend on the biochar
