Abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity constantly threaten food security. Biochar a soil amendment has the potential to ameliorate alleviate stress. Multiple studies have been conducted evaluate effect of biochar in alleviating independent or However, mitigating combined stress on plants not studied so far. Therefore, pot experiment was climate-controlled chamber with objective investigate growth, physiology, yield quinoa under Quinoa were subjected three irrigation treatments i.e., full (FI), deficit (DI), alternate root-zone drying (ARD), two saline water (0 400 mM) levels (0% 5% by weight). In FI treatment, irrigated daily maintain water-holding capacity. limited treatments, 70% applied either whole DI one side alternating ARD, respectively. The results showed that drastically affected growth performance compared had positive both plants. Furthermore, ARD significantly enhanced plant height, shoot biomass, grain 11.7%, 18.8%, 10.2% salinity, addition, leaf photosynthetic rate (An) stomatal conductance (gs) decreased irrigation. Moreover, interactive efficiently adjusted balance between chemical signal (leaf ABA) hydraulic potential). Thus, intrinsic use efficiency (WUEi) DI, especially Overall, combination might be wise approach for sustaining crop productivity salt stressed areas world ensure
