“…In the present study, enzymatic antioxidants activities decreased especially by combined utilization of biochar and PsJN under saline condition. Our results are supported by the findings of Kanwal et al [92] where biochar reduced the negative effects of salinity by decreasing superoxide dismutase in wheat. Very recently, Saeed et al [31] reported that combined use of endophytic bacteria along with amendment reverted the harmful effects of abiotic stress on Brassica napus growth by decreasing the activities of certain studied antioxidants.…”

Iron-biofortification is a sustainable food-based approach to combat iron deficiency by increasing iron content and bioavailability in agronomic crops. Siderophore producing microbes offer a sustainable and low-cost way to increase iron supply in crops. Also, certain substances released from organic amendments act as iron-chelators which increase the solubility as well as the availability of iron to plants. Present study investigated the role of siderophore-producing endophytic bacteria and biochar on iron-fortification of a novel crop quinoa in iron-limited saline conditions. The surface-disinfected seeds of quinoa were inoculated with Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN (CFU = 109) and sown in saline soil (EC 20 dS m−1) amended with biochar (1% w/w). Results revealed that biochar and PsJN particularly when applied together significantly enhanced plant growth, grain yield, and grain nutrient contents of quinoa. Strikingly, iron concentration in quinoa grains was increased up to 71% by the combined application of biochar and PsJN. Moreover, plant physiological parameters were also improved significantly by the integrated application. However, enzymatic/non-enzymatic antioxidants activities were decreased by integrated treatment thus ameliorated salinity stress. Our study suggests that integrated application of siderophore-producing bacteria and biochar could be a promising, sustainable and cost-effective strategy which is easily integratable into the existing farming practices to achieve food fortification with micronutrients in developing countries.

“…However, the biochar treatment recorded the medium value (850.08 mgkg -1 ) of total K t in the sandy soil with highly significant increase compared to control treatment), as illustrated in Fig 1. The superiority of both the bio-charcoal and the chicken fertilizer in the increase of potassium in the sandy soil compared to the control treatment may be due to their role in improving soil physical and chemical properties and also the increase of nutrients content in studied soil, especially N, P and K, along with their role in reducing the loss of these nutrients from the soil by increasing the ability of the soil to retain them and minimize the down movement of water in sandy soil due to the increase of these applied organic matter to soil. These results are in agreement with those reported by (Agbna et al, 2017), (Ali, et al, 2017), (Kanwal, et al, 2017) and (Maucieriab, et al, 2017) for studing the effect of biochar, and (Prapagar et al, 2015), (Yu, et al, 2015) and (Ravimycin, 2016) for studing the effect of chicken manure. Data in fig2 show that the organic amendments [chicken manure and biochar] had highly significant effect on total Fe (mgkg -1 ) soil and only significant effect (at 0.05 probability level) on total Zn and Mn contents (mgkg -1 ) sandy soil.…”

A pot trial was conducted in the nursery of the Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University during the 2016/2017 season to study the effect of biochar and chicken manure on sandy soil properties and traits of coriander plant and the possibility of utilizing the seawater diluted (10%) in irrigation. Randomized complete plot design (RCBD) with three replicates was used in this study. The treatments were as follows: Without (Control), Chicken manure, (20 ton fed-1 , i.e. 400 g pot-1) and biochar, (5 ton fed-1 , i.e. 100 gpot-1). Results showed that the organic amendments [chicken manure and biochar] had highly significant effects on all the studied chemical and physical properties of sandy soil such as, total N, P, K, Fe, Zn, Mn, Ca, Mg, Na, pH, EC and bulk density. Adding biochar and chicken manure gave the best values of all the studied chemical and physical properties of sandy soil compared with control. Also, it was noticed surpassed that biochar treatment over chicken manure in some chemical traits of the soil, such as, total N, P, Na and Cl in the soil. On the other side, the chicken manure surpassed over biochar in some chemical traits of the soil, such as, K, Fe, Mn, Ca and Mg. Results indicated that the organic amendments [chicken manure and biochar] had highly significant effects on all the studied chemical, growth and yield traits of coriander plant, i.e. total N, P and K (%); total Fe, Zn and Mn contents (mgkg-1); plant fresh weight (g), plant dry weight (g), plant height (cm), leaves number per plant and chlorophyll content. Adding chicken manure and biochar gave the best values of all the studied chemical, growth and yield traits of coriander plant compared with control. In addition, it was noticed surpassed the chicken manure over biochar in improving all the studied chemical, growth and yield traits of coriander plant. Therefore, it could be recommended that adding the organic amendments (chicken manure or biochar) to improve the chemical and physical properties of sandy soil and chemical and growth traits of coriander plant irrigated with saline water (diluted seawater, 10%) in sandy soil.

“…Organic amendments have to be applied every year because of its rapid decomposition (Gupta and Monika, 2016), so, more stable compounds such as BC could be alternatively used (Glaser et al, 2002). BC at 2% improved wheat growth and increased its height by 11% (Kanwal et al, 2018), while 5 % BC under salinity improved soil fertility and increased sorghum biomass yield by 25 % (Edmunds, 2012). In addition, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 % BC in saline-sodic paddy soil reduced stress and promoted rice yield (Jin et al, 2018), while BC improved the legume yield in the calcareous soil in arid area (Azeem et al, 2016).…”

T HE DROUGHT is one of the most important abiotic stresses limiting the crop productivity especially in sandy soils in arid and semi-arid areas. So, using soil amendments such as vermicompost (VC), biochar (BC), and polymer (PL) are more important in these areas. Lysimeter experiments with sandy soil were carried out at Sakha Agric. Res. Station, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt to study the effect of 0.4% PL, 4.0% VC and 1.0% BC (W:W soil) on productivity of wheat (2018/019) and maize (2019) under two irrigation levels (irrigation after depletion of 50% and 75% from soil moisture. The obtained results indicated that irrigation at 75% moisture depletion (irrigation deficit) decreased plant height, 100-grain weight, grain and straw yields, water applied to wheat (-16.8%) and maize (-20%) compared to that with higher irrigation level (50% depletion). Also, water productivity was slightly decreased for wheat, but it slightly increased for maize and ECe values were slightly increased due to irrigation deficit. Also, applications of soil amendments and their combinations significantly increased plant height, 100-grain weight, yield and water productivity of both crops and improved soil porosity and field capacity. The VC was more effective treatment followed by BC and PL treatments, while their interactions were the most effective on these parameters. Moreover, soil amendments alleviated the deleterious effects of irrigation deficit on plant growth and salt accumulation. Finally, applying BC combined with VC and PL could be recommended as a good approach to maintain long-term productivity of sandy soils and mitigate the hazardous effects of drought stresses.
