In this context a promising strategy is the use of biochar, a charcoal obtained by controlled pyrolysis of organic substance, as a soil amendment.<\/p>\n<p>If on the one hand human activity could be negative, on the other hand it is considered as an important way of progress. For example, in relation to man\u2019s survival in little or no natural lighting environments, there is the creation of a new device. Indeed, the importance of light is not only linked to the visibility concept, but also to the influence that it has on some physiological and metabolic processes of humans and plants, such as circadian cycle or biological rhythms. In this context, for some year, Coelux\u00ae is burned, an innovative and interesting \u201cgreen technology\u201d that is able to artificially reproduce the images of the sky and sun thanks to nanostructured materials, LED lighting and sophisticated optical systems.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of this research project is to assess the capability of biochar in relation to morphological and physiological changes of plants that grown in presence of artificially reproduced sunlight by Coelux\u00ae device.<\/p>\n<p>To set up the experimental plan will be used cuttings of houseplants and horticultural plants and they will grow in presence and in absence of biochar and under CoeLux\u00ae lighting system and sunlight.
