Abstract: The use of chicken manure and corn cob Biochar is proven to be able to improve soil quality, plant growth crop yield of cassava and corn. This study also aims to show that different types of biochar applications (chicken manure and corncob biochar) are able to improve soil physical and chemical properties, the yield of cassava and corn kernels biomass. This study was conducted in a farmer field in Batu, about 15 km southeast of Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The study was conducted on alfisol land having 8% surface slope. The method used was field experiment using Randomized Block Design (RBD) with the following treatment:
