Chemical and Biological Enhancement Effects of Biochar on Wheat Growth and Yield under Arid Field Conditions

Nitrogen (N) losses are prevalent under South East Asia’s due to high N fertilizer inputs, but low use efficiency. This leaves a large quantity of reactive at risk loss the environment. Biochar has been found reduce across variety soil types, however, there is limited data available for semi-arid climates, particularly field-scale. Herein we present an exploration biological and chemical enhancement effects observed cotton stalk-based biochar on wheat growth yield arid field conditions. The was treated with urea-N biofertilizer (bio-power) in different treatment setups. six experimental treatments included; (i) full dose “recommended crops region” (104 kg ha?1) as positive control; (ii) half (52 ha?1); (iii) + (4.94 mixture; (iv) seed inoculation; (v) broadcast (5 t inoculated biofertilizer; (vi) loaded applied mixture. application or addition mix/seed inoculated/biochar inoculation caused reduced compared control (conventional fertilization). However, co-application chemically enhanced (loaded dose) mixture significantly increased crop rate (CGR) leaf area index (LAI). A higher canopy development led light interception radiation efficiency (RUE) total dry matter (TDM) grain (11% greater than control) production control. yield, mixture, attributed prolonged availability indicated by plant content harvest stages, respectively. study improved our understanding how nitrogen mixtures can synergize positively affect soil-nitrogen retention environmental
