The agronomic efficiency of biochar-based fertilizers (BBFs) relies on the synthesis routes, properties, and interaction with the soil–plant system. In our study, BBFs were produced from coffee husk, low-grade acidulated phosphate rock with and without the addition of magnesium (Mg). BBFs were characterized for infrared analysis and the kinetics of phosphorus (P) release in water or citric acid (CA). The agronomic performance of BBFs was tested by growing maize and, in sequence, brachiaria grass in pots filled with two Oxisols with contrasting soil organic matter (SOM) content. Using the same chemical stoichiometric ratio, nitric acid was more effective than hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, creating BBFs with enhanced agronomic performance. The use of Mg in the BBFs synthesis reduced the P released in water. Phosphorus released in CA leachates positively correlated with the P in the shoot of both plants. BBFs produced using nitric acid had higher residual effect on brachiaria grass grown in the Oxisol with the highest SOM. Our outcomes show that the P rate for maize and brachiaria grass should be considered based on P soluble in neutral ammonium citrate plus water in BBFs. BBFs is an alternative to improve the use efficiency of P in Oxisols.
