Biochar’s positive impact on moisture retention cannot be understated. A comprehensive review released byCSIRO, an Australian governmental agency responsible for scientific research, stated that “Many studies where the effect of biochar on crop yield has been assessed have cited moisture retention as ...
However, the impact of GB on plant-available water capacity (AWC) and plant growth in diverse soil types still needs to be explored. A pot experiment with spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) was conducted to investigate the effect of soil amendment by 1% straw and wood gasification biochar (...

The experimental study was carried out on saline sands located in the dry bottom of the Satluj River. The experiment aimed to investigate the biochar impact on the growth parameters, root morphology, and plant physiological characteristics ofZea mays,Amaranthus caudatus, andMedicago sativa. The experi...
Plant growth response to biochars depend upon the organic material used for the pyrolysis46. In this study, GWB addition in tomatoes growing medium containing compost had a significant positive impact on plant growth, when applied at 6% (v/v) application rate. Previously, She et al.84found th...
Plant growth was inhibited with biochar addition at the 2 and 5% rates. Dry shoot, pod weight, and pod length decreased significantly between treatments (P < 0.001). Significant reductions in plant-available P, Ca, Mg, Cu, and Zn were observed in the 5% biochar soil postharvest (P < ...

growth and yield on a global scale [4]. Bahawalpur is renowned for its arid climate, making it one of the most parched regions in Pakistan. Approximately 70% of water reserves are utilized for agricultural purposes, alongside several other elements that impact agricultural practices [5]. Much ...
Hence, the application of biochar and its impact on the quality of soil function is worthy of an exhaustive assessment. Tillage methods and soil surface management affect sustainable use of soil resources through their influence on soil stability, soil resilience and soil quality. Soil stability ...
