Soil salinity is a major challenge in agriculture, particularly calcareous soils with high calcium carbonate levels. Biochar, produced from biomass pyrolysis, being considered as potential solution for mitigating effects. A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted using soil saline field to investigate the effects of sugarcane biochar applied at different rates (0.0%, 2.0%, and 5.0%) on properties wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth. Results showed that both Low Rate (2.0% biochar) High (5.0% treatments significantly improved pH, reduced electrical conductivity (EC), increased organic matter (SOM) content. Plant growth indicators such plant height, stem diameter, leaf chlorophyll content also significant improvement application. had more pronounced compared Rate. The analysis confirmed growth, indicating its beneficial amendment. Sugarcane has mitigate stress enhance crop productivity soils. Further research needed explore long-term application interactions other management practices systems. These findings highlight promising role sustainable approach agriculture improving quality production.

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15

Published: Jan. 13, 2025

Global agricultural challenges, especially soil degradation caused by abiotic stresses, significantly reduce crop productivity and require innovative solutions. Biochar (BC), a biodegradable product derived from forestry residues, has been proven to enhance quality. Although its benefits for improving properties are well-documented, the potential of BC mitigate various stresses-such as drought, salinity, heavy metal toxicity-and effect on plant traits need further exploration. This review aims elucidate production highlighting primary feedstock's synthesis techniques, examining role in boosting decomposition efficiency fertility, which pivotal sustainable growth. also discuss how can nutritional chemical under different stress conditions, emphasizing capacity foster growth development adverse environments. Furthermore, this article serves comprehensive resource researchers understanding importance promoting agriculture, addressing environmental challenges. Ultimately, highlights critical knowledge gaps proposes future research avenues bio-protective against paving way commercialization applications large scale with cutting-edge technologies.

Biochar application affects forage sorghum under salinity stress

Chilean journal of agricultural research, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 80(3), P. 317 - 325

Published: Aug. 19, 2020

Salinity is a growing problem worldwide and techniques are needed to mitigate this problem. The experiment was conducted examine if biochar could improve growth, physiological response, DM yield of forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) under saline conditions. Sorghum seedlings were transplanted in sandy loam soil (0-20 cm layer Typic Fluvaquents Entisols) treated with sodium chloride at rates 0.26, 5.8, 12.6 dS m-1. four rates, 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10% (w/w). Plant height, fresh weight, photosynthetic rate (A), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (E), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) affected by the interaction between salinity biochar. At m-1 rate, 5% increased plant leaf area, yields, A, gs, E 20.1%, 16.5%, 26.2%, 27.4%, 14.5%, 31.1%, 26.7%, respectively. decreased CAT, POD, SOD 56.8%, 44.8%, 18.9%, Furthermore, among all used investigation, had better result for production. These findings demonstrated that lowest amendment application alleviate harmful impact salinity; high can have negative influence.

Soil Amendment Using Biochar and Application of K-Humate Enhance the Growth, Productivity, and Nutritional Value of Onion (Allium cepa L.) under Deficit Irrigation Conditions

Plants, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(12), P. 2598 - 2598

Published: Nov. 26, 2021

Water scarcity, due to physical shortage or inadequate access, is a major global challenge that severely affects agricultural productivity and sustainability. Deficit irrigation promising strategy overcome water particularly in arid semiarid regions with limited freshwater resources. However, precise application of deficit requires better understanding the plant response water/drought stress. In current study, we investigated potential impacts biochar-based soil amendment foliar potassium-humate (separately their combination) on growth, productivity, nutritional value onion (Allium cepa L.) under deficient conditions two separate field trials during 2018/2019 2019/2020 seasons. Our findings showed negatively affected resilience drought these harmful effects were diminished after using biochar, K-humate application, combination. Briefly, integrated biochar increased boosted content photosynthetic pigments, enhanced relations, yield traits plants. Moreover, it improved biochemical response, activities antioxidant enzymes, enriched nutrient deficiently irrigated Collectively, highlight utilization as sustainable eco-friendly strategies improve irrigation.
