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.

Drought is the main abiotic stress that severely reduces wheat yield across globe. To cope up this situation, use of organic amendments best option. Biochar an soil amendment used to improve carbon, contents, water holding capacity soil, enhance fertility and maintain desired soil. Present study was carried out under semi-arid climatic conditions mitigate adverse effects drought at critical growth stages i.e., tillering (DTS), flowering (DFS) grain filling stage (DGFS) by using three biochar treatments viz. B0 = Control, B1 27.88 g kg−1 B2 37.18 kg−1. Results revealed negatively affected attributes all stages, while, found most sensitive resulted severe reduction. However, application significantly mitigated detrimental improving number fertile tillers (19.50%), spike length (6.52%), grains per (3.07%), thousand weight (6.42%), biological (9.43%) economic (13.92%) as compared control treatment. Moreover, improved efficiency physiological stressed wheat. Principal component analysis linked different scales demonstrated potential physio-biochemical traits explain variations condition with response application. In crux, (37.18 kg−1) can be effective stratagem achieve through mitigating stress.

Use of saline water for irrigation is essential to mitigate increasing agricultural demands in arid and semi-arid regions. The objective this study address the potential using straw biochar as a soil amendment promote wheat production under irrigation. A field experiment was conducted clay loam from eastern China during 2016/2017 2017/2018 winter season. There were five treatments: freshwater (0.3 dS m−1), (10 m−1) combined with 10, 20, 30 t ha−1. Saline alone caused salinization decreased growth yield. incorporation bulk density by 5.5%–11.6% increased permeability 35.4%–49.5%, improved nutrient status. Biochar also reduced sodium adsorption ratio 25.7%–32.6% Furthermore, alleviated salt stress maintaining higher leaf relative content lower Na+/K+ ratio, further enhanced photosynthesis relieved senescence reproductive stages, leading better grain formation. Compared alone, application 10 20 ha−1 significantly yield 8.6 8.4%, respectively. High dose might increase salinity limit N availability. In study, at would be proper practice least over two years facilitate production. Long-term studies are recommended advance understanding sustainable use biochar.

Overuse of chemical fertilizers in the intensive greenhouse tomato cultivation system has limited increase plant production. Nowadays, seaweed extract been gradually applied agriculture as an effective way to achieve a higher yield crops, but its effects on have not fully explored. In this study, experiment was conducted Shandong province China with novel (SES) originated from Sargassum horneri, investigate different doses SES (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg hm–2) yields, quality, ripening time, net returns tomato. The results indicated that application significantly increased by 4.6–6.9% compared control, which is attributed improved photosynthetic capacity leaves. yields first then decreased increasing dosage SES, at dose 60 hm–2 achieved highest yield. Compared hardness 10.2 19.8%, respectively, can help reduce losses during transportation storage. Moreover, shortened time tomato, coincidence between harvest sale price peak high return.
