Cover Story: The quality of forages declines as plants reach the flowering stage. Therefore, accelerating flowering may increase forage quality and the number of harvests. Healthy soils are rich in vitamin B12 and humic substances. Research has revealed that biochar promotes root systems and photosynthesis rates, thus enhancing overall plant productivity. The current study hypothesized that the presence of adequate vitamin B12, humic substances, and biochar can positively alter the phenology, nitrogen yield, and biomass of clover roots and shoots.
