Abstract Soil hydrophobicity has increased in recent years due to the expansion of arid lands. In these lands soil inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and application biochar are two improvement strategies. The formation stability aggregates can be significantly influenced by management practices. present study, simultaneous effect sugarcane (0%, 1% 2%) AMF (+AMF −AMF) on water repellent (WR) non‐water (NWR) structure was investigated under corn cultivation greenhouse. Incorporation 2% into NWR organic carbon 155% 94% non‐AMF treatments, respectively, compared control (without biochar). However, this increase less pronounced WR soil. difference carbohydrate concentration between treatments enhanced increasing level from 25% 144% 51% 147% results indicated that interaction had a significant positive both microbial respiration glomalin concentration. To measure aggregate stability, high‐energy moisture characteristic curve (HEMC) method used. effects structural indices were observed studied soils. their interactive effects. Two percent soil, limited 73%. While, improved 13.4% 19.7% wettability consequently better activities. Finally, addition activities characteristics, is also effective improving studies managements.
