“…grown without biochar (control) markedly gave the highest values of potato grade 3 yield of in both seasons. These results agree with those reported by Nair et al (2014) who found that yield of potato cv. Atlantic increased with increasing biochar.…”

“…Also, Akhtar et al (2014) indicated that addition of biochar increased the soil moisture contents, which consequently improved yield of tomato fruits. Furthermore, Nair et al (2014) stated that the increases in crop yields of potato cv. Atlantic have been attributed to better water holding capacity, higher cation exchange capacity, increased nutrient retention, and the ability of biochar to reduce bulk density.…”

“…Biochar is an organic amendment produced by the process called pyrolysis, which is the burning biomass in a limited or absence of oxygen (Nair et al, 2014). Biochar application has the potential to improve crop productivity, but the effect of biochar application was highly dependent on soil fertility and fertilizer management (Asai et al, 2009).…”

“…Numerous studies have indicated the strong potential of biochar application for improving crop yields (Van Zwieten et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2012;Nair et al, 2014). A number of other studies have shown only small improvements or even reductions in grain yield with biochar application in nutrient-rich soils (Deenik et al, 2010;Gaskin et al, 2010;Van Zwieten et al, 2010).…”

A field experiment was conducted in Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from November, 2017 to March, 2018 in rabi season to observe the effect of biochar on the yield and quality of potato tuber and to find out the optimum dose of biochar along with inorganic fertilizer for achieving the maximum yield of potato. The experiment consist of 9 treatments as Control (no chemical fertilizer and biochar), Recommended Fertilizer Dose; Recommended Fertilizer Dose+Biochar @ 2.5 t ha-1; Recommended Fertilizer Dose+Biochar @ 5.0 t ha-1; Recommended Fertilizer Dose+Biochar @ 7.5 t ha-1; 1/2 of Recommended Fertilizer Dose+Biochar @ 2.5 t ha-1; ½ of Recommended Fertilizer Dose+Biochar @ 5.0 t ha-1; ½ of Recommended Fertilizer Dose + Biochar @ 7.5 t ha-1; Biochar @ 10 t ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The tested variety was BARI Alu-7 (Diamant). Data were collected on different yield attributes, growth and quality of potato and postharvest soil analysis. The results indicated that biochar application significantly (p<0.05) increased plant height, weight of tubers, yield of tubers, tuber dry matter content, tuber specific gravity, soil organic carbon. Results suggested that biochar application had significant positive effect on plant and soil.

“…Furthermore, Lehmann et al (2006) found that Biochar addition may enhance the productivity of plants directly due to their nutrient content and release features or indirectly due to enhanced nutrient retention. Beside, Nair et al (2014) stated that increases in potato crop yields cv. Atlantic was ascribed to improved water holding capacity, enhanced cation exchange capacity, enhanced nutrient retention, and biochar's ability to decrease bulk density.…”

Two field trials were conducted on potato cv. Spunta, in private farm at Kafr Meet Faris, Dakahlia Governorate, during 2018 and 2019 seasons to study the effect of NPK levels (100%, 75% and 50% NPK of the recommended rate) either single or in combination with some applications of fulvic acid and biochar treatments (untreated, fulvic acid at 10 kg/fed, biochar at 5 m 3 /fed and fulvic acid at 10 kg/fed + biochar at 5 m 3 /fed)) on plant growth, yield and its quality as well as chemical constituents of plant foliage and tubers. Results showed that the most studied characteristics of potato plants were significantly increased with increasing NPK-level up to 100%. Besides, the most interesting observation was the increasing of the yield and its components by 100% NPK level. Moreover, this treatment significantly increased concentration of all chemical constituents in foliage and tubers comparing with those of the other treatments. Application of fulvic acid and biochar treatments caused significant increases in the most studied parameters as comparing with the control treatment. The highest record data was obtained from application of fulvic acid + biochar. The combined treatments of NPK levels and fulvic acid and biochar treatments were generally more effective on the most studied parameters than with single ones. The best results were obtained by 75 % NPK level with fulvic acid + biochar treatment. Therefore, this treatment could be recommended for raising potato yield and improving tuber quality under similar conditions to this work.
