Abstract Ensuring global food security under present and futuristic scenario of climate change accompanied by expanding population is major concern worldwide. Researchers across the world are focusing on sustainable agronomic practices to combat induced issues like desertification, reduction in crop yield, pest outbreaks, soil health. Biochar has demonstrated positive effects plant growth, development, fruit quality, carbon capture sequestration. Studies indicate that biochar amendments can enhance health, growth development as well help combating abiotic stressors. several properties make it an attractive amendment, including high porosity, surface area, water-holding capacity, ability increase microbiota, which turn promote nutrient uptake reduce erosion. Environmentally, biochar’s degrade organic pollutant sequester makes a very addition agriculture. Nonetheless, also been reported have potential hazardous impacts human health associated with possible leakage toxic elements particulate matter pollution. However, lack exhaustive studies detail all aspects application agroecosystem impedes decision making its overall usability There exists need for comprehensive review cover important supplementation. This provides thorough overview multifaceted biochar, encompassing soil, environment, while exploring limitations along application.

Biochar is gaining significant attention due to its potential for carbon (C) sequestration, improvement of soil health, fertility enhancement, and crop productivity quality. In this review, we discuss the most common available techniques biochar production, main physiochemical properties biochar, effects on including physical, chemical, biological parameters quality fertility, nutrient leaching, salt stress, addition, impacts addition salt-affected heavy metal contaminated soils were also reviewed. An ample body literature supports idea that amended with has a high increase concomitant in structure, use efficiency (NUE), aeration, porosity, water-holding capacity (WHC), among other amendments. However, increases biochar-amended are frequently reported coarse-textured sandy compared fine-textured fertile soils. effect microbial community composition abundance.

Abstract Plants are sessile organisms, frequently face unfavourable growth conditions such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing and high‐temperature stresses, inhibiting development, ultimately reducing crop productivity. Among these drought stress has been a major challenge for sustainable production hot area of research under the current climate change scenario. Organic amendments biochar (BC) compost along with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could be strategy to improve productivity environment. There several reports about compost, BC, PGPR application single or combined treatment enhance stress. Compost BC act conditioners soil physicochemical biological properties thereby enhancing water holding capacity (WHC) nutrient retention availability plants. Both also serve carbon sources suitable environment endogenous microbes their promotion activities alleviate via ACC‐deaminase P‐solubilizing activities, phytohormones, secretion organic acids, acting biocontrol agents,etc. In present review, individual effect in plants critically summarized.
