To investigate the impact of biochar on eggplant growth, physiology, and yield parameters under separate associated drought salt stress, a pot experiment was carried out. An variety ('Bonica F1') exposed to one NaCl concentration (S1 = 300 mM), three irrigation regimes (FI: full irrigation; DI: deficit ARD: alternate root-zone drying irrigation), dose (B1 6% by weight). Our findings demonstrated that stress had greater negative 'Bonica F1' performance in comparison single or stress. Whereas, adding soil improved ability alleviate effects Moreover, DI salinity, addition ARD significantly increased plant height, aerial biomass, fruit number per plant, mean fresh weight 18.4%, 39.7%, 37.5%, 36.3%, respectively. Furthermore, limited saline irrigation, photosynthetic rate (An), transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (gs) declined. In addition, interaction between effectively restored equilibrium chemical signal (ABA) hydraulic (leaf water potential). As result, mainly with treatment, intrinsic use efficiency (WUEi) traits were much higher than those DI. Overall, combination could be an efficient approach for preserving crop productivity.

Abstract Background Climate change alters modern drought episode patterns by making them longer, more frequent and severe, in particular arid semi-arid agroecosystems. Amending soil properties enhancing its fertility is a needed sustainable strategy for mitigating drought’s damaging effects on crop production food security. Here, we planned to investigate the potential benefits of biochar–compost mixture (B×C) as biochar-based fertilizer (BCF) tolerance rice plants cultivated low-fertile sandy soil. Results Under stress, unamended (no B×C) exhibited severely wilted, rolled discolored shoots. Furthermore, shoot dry biomass reduction ratio was 73.3% compared 44.2 27.6% treated with 5 15% B×C, respectively. Root anatomical architectural traits were significantly less impaired B×C reflected better performance under no plants. During induced episode, moisture content enhanced 2.5-fold through adding soil, thereby reducing negative impact stress. Moreover, drought-stressed (B×C-treated) rapidly recovered after rewatering displayed unwinding previously leaves reproduced panicles. On other hand, failed recover eventually perished completely. The expression profiles several responsive genes suggest that stressed accumulated cytosolic free calcium (OsCML3) apoplastic H 2 O (OsOXO4) which may trigger fast prolonged stomatal closure (OsSRO1c). In addition, over-produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) superoxide anion molecules (OsRbohB), situation has been further complicated possible activity antioxidative enzyme SOD (OsSOD), thus lipid peroxidation (3.5-fold increase MDA) plant shoots Conclusion It suggested amendment (biochar–compost mixture) could promote stress retaining content, such over-production ROS leaves, facilitating recovery rewatering.
