Climate change is making droughts more frequent, which a major problem for crop yield, especially crops that are vulnerable to drought, such as common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). Drought stress affects negatively on physiological and biochemical processes of plants, leading reduced yields. This study addresses the knowledge gap regarding effective strategies mitigate drought-induced damage enhance productivity in buckwheat. We hypothesized iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) rice husk biochar could improve drought tolerance by modulating its responses. To test this, plants were grown under well-watered (80% field capacity, FC) (40% conditions following completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Results showed application 50 g/kg 400 ppm Fe3O4 NPs, either separately or combination, significantly enhanced yield improved key traits, including relative water content, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll antioxidant activity. The combination NPs led improvements plants' levels, membrane stability index, proline, activity (DPPH), seed 22.37, 17.11, 43.05, 16.07, 43.75, 8.59, 50.87%, respectively compared untreated plants. Moreover, this treatment oxidative indicators hydrogen peroxide malondialdehyde 31.09 38.19%, respectively. These results show when combined biochar, buckwheat, providing viable strategy increase yields water-limited environments. In view climate change, emphasises potential combining nanomaterials sustainable agricultural practices.

Soil amendment and foliar application of nanobiochar (NBC: a unique nanomaterial) may enhance soil fertility which ensures that nutrients are available to plants, increase crop production because it is suitable source macro- micronutrients. From this study, NBC induced modification in two wheat varieties (Akbar, Zincol) yield, growth, physio-biochemical ionic profiles have been studied. The was applied four concentrations [control (0 %), S1 (1 S3 (3 S5 (5 %)] at the sowing stage while after 30 days germination, same with surfactant (0.1 % Tween-20) pots. Each treatment has three replications experiment arranged completely randomized design (CRD). Results indicated growth attributes, parameters ion contents were significantly increased both than their respective controls Akbar variety exhibiting better improvement Akbar. However, plant height, shoot–root dry biomass shoot length S3F3 level (NBC 5 + as 3 %) root length, fresh weight S5F5 S3F1 1 leaf area number tillers S1F5 %). On other hand, methods applications enhanced photosynthetic pigments but Zincol showed highest rate pigments. Moreover, affect primary metabolites (total soluble sugar, protein, free amino acids), secondary (phenolic flavonoid content), antioxidants (Catalase peroxidase) nitrogen metabolic enzyme (Nitrite Nitrate) comparatively higher variety. In conclusion, these results combined form could be used fertilizer its beneficial effects high nutritional content.

Agriculture problems like drought stress and improper fertilization overuse of nitrogen fertilizers for maximum productivity are the problem responsible low yield crop environmental pollution. Biochar slow releasing (SRNF) application in agriculture sustainable practices being used better nutrient management strategies, since well-recognized caused by overusing fertilizers. also as tools way alleviating stress. For this, two-year field study was planned with randomized complete block designed (RCBD) replicated three time. Treatments included two irrigation conditions normal (CK) (DS), biochar treatments (BC) without (WBC); SRNF zinc-coated urea (ZCU), sulfur-coated (SCU) non-coated simple (SU). Results revealed that significantly reduced plant height (20.7%), stem diameter (25.6%), achene (25.9%), while increasing antioxidant activity. mitigated these effects, 23.2% 12.0% under Among SRNFs, ZCU most effective, improving photosynthetic rate (18.5%), chlorophyll content (12.3%), (19.6%) conditions. The combination improved soil health, water retention, efficiency, leading to enhanced growth yield. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences among treatments.
