Water stress and nutrient are major limiting factors affecting crop productivity. Biochar-based organic fertilizers improve soil availability, water use efficiency (WUE), yields under these adverse conditions. This study investigated the mechanistic effects of biochar–bokashi mixtures a controlled glasshouse pot experiment on fertility, available nutrients, moisture, plant (PWUE), wheat yield parameters three moisture levels. Four treatments were included, (1) control, (2) bokashi only, (3) 1% biochar + bokashi, (4) 2% 30% (IR30), 50% (IR50), 60% (IR60) field capacity, totaling twelve in completely randomized design with replications. The combined bokashi–biochar application significantly (p < 0.05) improved growth yields, including height, number fertile tillers (NFT), spikes (NS), spike length (SL), 1000-grain weight, biological (BY), root biomass, grain (GY), compared to control bokashi-only treatments. Bokashi exhibited superior agronomic performance over other treatments, biochar. Biochar addition enhanced PWUE across irrigation Bokashi–biochar IR30 outperformed IR60, highlighting biochar’s effectiveness alleviating increasing yields. Moreover, co-application increased pH while enhancing carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorous exchangeable potassium levels, which positively correlated yield. have been proven be an effective strategy enhance increase alleviate support sustainable production water- nutrient-limited
