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.

Abiotic stresses are the most significant factors reducing agricultural productivity. Plants face extreme environmental conditions that may affect their biological mechanisms, thereby influencing growth and development. Microorganisms possess substantial metabolites aid in helping plants mitigate abiotic stresses. Plants’ interaction with microbes constitutes a diversified ecosystem, as sometimes both partners share mutualistic relationship. Endophytes, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) examples of microorganisms play an essential role alleviating and, hence, improving plant growth. The plant–microbe leads to modulation complex mechanisms cellular system. Moreover, residing microbial flora also inhibits phytopathogens, therefore, it becomes part plants’ innate defense Keeping view growing concerns, is important identify microbiome transportation nutrients maintain sustainable production. Furthermore, enabling recruit beneficial species how deal potential pathogens. Therefore, this review aims summarize impacts various stressors on productivity mitigating negative effects literature shows microbes, including PGPRs, AMFs, endophytes, adopt for ameliorating It has been observed biochar either individually or combination, can maintaining under stress conditions.
