Abstract Drought and cadmium (Cd) stress are both major issues that significantly affect the growth development of wheat plants. Both drought Cd toxicity disrupt physiological processes i.e., nutrient uptake, cell expansion, enzymatic reactions resulting in poor crop growth. To overcome these issues, use activated carbon gibberellic acid (GA3) considered valuable amendments. However, current study aimed to add value using GA3-enriched biochar (GA3-BC). That’s why, a lab experiment was conducted on assess effectiveness GA3-BC against stress. For GA3 enrichment biochar, 10 µg GA3/g mixed. There were 3 levels 0, 0.6 (GA3-BC1), 0.9% All applied replicates under no (0Cd + drought), (DS), 6 mg Cd/ kg soil (6Cd). Results showed GA3-BC2 caused significant improvement shoot length (44.99%), root (99.73%), seedling (60.13%) fresh weight (63.59%) over control at 6Cd A chlorophyll a, b, total while decrease electrolyte leakage regulation antioxidants lipid peroxidation, SOD, CAT, APx, GR, GPx, GST, DPHH also signified compared In conclusion, is an efficacious amendment for simultaneously alleviating wheat. More investigations recommended field level different cereal crops cultivated textures declare as best treatment mitigation toxicity.

Abstract Ensuring global food security under present and futuristic scenario of climate change accompanied by expanding population is major concern worldwide. Researchers across the world are focusing on sustainable agronomic practices to combat induced issues like desertification, reduction in crop yield, pest outbreaks, soil health. Biochar has demonstrated positive effects plant growth, development, fruit quality, carbon capture sequestration. Studies indicate that biochar amendments can enhance health, growth development as well help combating abiotic stressors. several properties make it an attractive amendment, including high porosity, surface area, water-holding capacity, ability increase microbiota, which turn promote nutrient uptake reduce erosion. Environmentally, biochar’s degrade organic pollutant sequester makes a very addition agriculture. Nonetheless, also been reported have potential hazardous impacts human health associated with possible leakage toxic elements particulate matter pollution. However, lack exhaustive studies detail all aspects application agroecosystem impedes decision making its overall usability There exists need for comprehensive review cover important supplementation. This provides thorough overview multifaceted biochar, encompassing soil, environment, while exploring limitations along application.

Unlocking the potential of biochar in the remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals for sustainable agriculture

Functional Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 51(2)

Agricultural soils contaminated with heavy metals (HMs) impose a threat to the environmental and human health. Amendment biochar could be an eco-friendly cost-effective option decrease HMs in soil. This paper reviews application of as soil amendment immobilise We discuss technologies its preparation, their specific properties, effect on bioavailability HMs. Biochar stabilises soil, enhance overall quality significantly reduce HM uptake by plants, making it remediation for contamination. enhances physical (e.g. bulk density, structure, water holding capacity), chemical cation exchange capacity, pH, nutrient availability, ion exchange, complexes), biological properties microbial abundance, enzymatic activities) also fertility, improves plant growth, reduces availability Various field studies have shown that from while increasing crop yield. The review highlights positive effects reducing soils. Future work is recommended ensure biochars offer safe sustainable solution remediate
