The research was conducted in the southern Andean region of the Republic of Ecuador, aimed to determine the feasibility of using biochar, made from residual biomass of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill), using two methods of pyrolysis, validating it in the productivity of the corn crop (Zea mayz L.) and the response in the agricultural soil as a soil conditioner and carbon fixer. The methodologies used in the study, where the following: the procedures that were carried out during the elaboration of the biochar and to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the different types of biochar in a laboratory. In addition, germination tests were carried out on corn seeds to establish the doses of application in the culture. Subsequently, the validation of the biochar applied to the soil in the corn crop in the form of an amendment was developed at an agronomic level, in order to determine the relationship of its potential properties in regards to the productivity of the soils in the Austro Experimental Station, of the Institute of Agricultural Research of the Ecuador (INIAP). These analyzes were carried out in the laboratories of the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina of Lima-Perú (UNALM). Under the studied conditions, it was found that there were trends of increase in corn grain yields and protein with the use of eucalyptus biochar, as well as other phenological growth characteristics and it is expected that the response of this biochar will have residual effects in the medium and long term for later crops. Another conclusive aspect was the changes that occur in regards to the soil characteristics, determined in comparative analysis of the conditions before and after the crop. Subsequently, the viability of applying biochar was established, based on the statistical and economic analysis of the results, in order to establish a management proposal of integrated eucalyptus and corn systems
