Abstract Population and food demand increased rapidly so to face this increment; we must dramatically increase crop production ensure global security. Hence, saline agriculture is a possible solution for producing in salt-affected soils using water irrigation. The objectives of study were investigate the effects applying different types doses biochar soil under irrigation by on quality indicators growth parameters yield arugula plant. Four biochar: banana leaves (BLB), rice straw (RSB), sorghum stalks (SSB), wood chips (WCB) applied pots at levels 1%, 3%, 5% (w/w). This pot experiment was cultivated with (6.2 dS m − 1 ). Total available nitrogen significantly relative control treatment (unamended soil) 41%, 34%, 43%, 33%, 24%, 44% adding 3%WCB, 5%WCB, 1%BLB, 3%BLB, 5%BLB, 5%SSB, 1%RSB, 5%RSB treatments, respectively. Results showed significant increases potassium (K) over 48%, 125%, 410%, 738%, 137%, 352%, 632%, 158%, 576%, 849% 1%SSB, 3%SSB, 3%RSB, Cation exchange capacity 26%, 22%, 30%, 58%, 31%, 54%, 28%, 48% 5%RSB, Relative treatment, fresh biomass plant improved 97%, 143%, 76%, 129%, 103%, 146%, 81%, 57%, 121%, 97% highest value biomass, uptake, phosphorus uptake observed 3%SSB applications. According results obtained from our study, recommend 3% which promising approach rehabilitate use sustainable production, attributed effective improvement nutrient productivity, conditions as it enhances tolerance plants salt stress well supply quality. Also, saves costs addition compared dose. also provided useful information about optimal quantities used improve productivity soils.

Abstract Sustainable agriculture is a system that aims to meet food needs while ensuring environmental health and social equity in the long term. One of main challenges sustainable carbon pollution which can damage nutritional quality soil. Carbon from industrial, agricultural, transportation, deforestation significantly affects soil globally. The concentration dioxide atmosphere global warming readily arise, leading decline functionality organic levels within This issue addressed through bibliometric research approach examine scientific publications on effects emissions nutrient framework agriculture. study generate future insights supply essential information for designing effective methodologies agricultural practices mitigate advancing farming practices. results studies conducted between 2020 2024, using geographical analysis, show most contributions this field come China, Spain, Italy, India.

Biochar—A Filler in “Bioplastics” for Horticultural Applications

Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(24), P. 6208 - 6208

Published: Dec. 19, 2024

Biochar is attracting a lot of attention as it considered novel, renewable, and bio-based filler that can be used specifically for developing manufacturing “bioplastics” growing plants such mulch films plant accessories. The uses biopolymers but also various additives fillers, which are primarily to replace some the expensive in biocomposite composition and/or improve mechanical properties final products. This review aims demonstrate applications biochar bioplastics, horticultural uses; summarize most recent findings; discuss future research directions. With this review, we address important issues related requirements biodegradable plastics, effect loading rates on biocomposites, suitability use. We advantages well challenges limitations use plastics uses.
