Addressing the challenge of reducing environmental pollution from agricultural practices by improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and water (WUE) while ensuring high crop yields is essential for sustainable agriculture. Using a controlled glasshouse experiment, we evaluated combined effects biochar bokashi under different irrigation regimes on NUE, WUE, yield-related parameters in wheat cropping system. The experiment followed completely randomized design with three replications four treatments: (1) control (C), (2) only (B0), (3) +1% (B1), (4) +2% (B2). These treatments were at levels—30% (IR30), 50% (IR50), 60% (IR60) field capacity (FC), resulting total twelve treatments. Co-application bokashi–biochar significantly (p < 0.050) improved grain yield (GY), straw (SY), biomass (TB), uptake (TNU), protein content (GPC), most notable benefits observed 1% application compared to C B0 In addition, both types treatment (bokashi biochar) level had significant impact GY, SY, TB, TNU, GPC, WUE. B1 B2 further efficiencies alone. positive correlation between WUE underscores importance optimizing strategies alongside soil amendments productivity. enhancements are likely attributed increased fertility, nutrient availability, retention combination bokashi.
