“…Although biochar acts as the sink and the source of most available nutrients for the plant growth and yield, there was no significant difference in growth parameters and yield of lettuce. Our findings are consistent with the results of Awad et al (2017) and Wang et al (2016). From Table 3 and 4, this study observed that the application of biochar to the soil slightly increased growth and yield parameters but the effect was not significant (p<0.05).…”

Biochar is increasingly used as an amendment to improve agricultural soil functions and plant growth. However, the effect of biochar application on plant growth can be different due to high variability in the quality of biochar. In this study the effect of different types of biochar application on the growth of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) was assessed in a pot experiment over two period of cultivation in greenhouse. The biochar were produced from four different feedstocks biomass [Vinyard (Vitis vinifera L.), Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), Banana (Musa) and Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus. L.)] by slow pyrolysis at 300°C and 500°C temperatures and were used to amend the soil. The experiment was design in randomized complete block with five replications and 9 treatments. The treatments included the Control, VB300, TB300, BB300, CB300, VB500, TB500, BB500 and CB500. The trial consisted of a total of 45 pots (4 agricultural waste × 2 pyrolysis temperature × 5 replications) + 5 controls). Two (2) tons da-1 (80 g-1 10 kg-1 pot-1) of biochar was applied with a basic application of fertilizers NPK (18-18-18) and calcium oxide (CaO). The biochar treatments were found to increase plant height and number of leaves in the second cropping cycle in comparison to no biochar treatments. The application of Tomato (TB300) and Banana (BB500) biochar significantly increased plant height by 15.2% and 10.2% respectively. The greatest increase due to biochar additions was found in the soils with tomato biochar treatment and the least increase was found in the soils without biochar application (Control). The second cropping season appeared to be better in terms of yield and quality parameters than the first season. As a result, in this study revealed that a variation in the temperature of pyrolysis does not impact lettuce growth, and recommends a long-term incubation period for further effect of biochar applications on crops.

“…Biochar was used to improve and improve the growth characteristics and quality of legumes. The addition of biochar to sandy soil boosted mung bean plant growth, biomass and yield 9,10 . Furthermore, biochar is very inert, with the majority of it staying in the soil for orders of magnitudes longer than any other organic amendment and biochar application to soils is usually associated with improved crop production 11 .…”

Background and Objective: Biological fertilization in the development of agriculture became one new strategy in the increased production of field crops to decrease the costs of production input and environmental pollution. This study focused on the influence of biochar fertilization on the productivity of faba bean varieties under sandy soils. Materials and Methods: Appreciation of the yield and its components, in addition to measurement of grain protein content as well as carbohydrates (%) of faba bean. Results: The data obtained indicated that the biochar amendment affects plant production at different rates, where the best yield obtained is 90 kg fedG 1 . The grain yield increase is significant for the varietyʼs types where, Mariout-2, followed by Nubaria-3 followed by Giza-716 for the addition of 90 kg fedG 1 of biochar as referenced by the non-conditioning treatment. Likewise, the protein content was highest in the Mariout-2 variety, followed by Nubaria-3 variety and Giza-716 variety for the addition. This improvement may be regarded to the impact of biochar on the physic-chemical characteristics for the soils, in addition to the biological characteristics. Furthermore, the biochar itself add nutrient to the soil after decomposition. The best improvement happens by the long-term cropping for a long period could be reached up to years. Conclusion:The conclusion that plant growth was better at a high rate (90 kg fedG 1 ) but the economy of this rate may be questioned, under the condition of the study. However, the validation for different soils may vary with different rates, which needs more research. Also, it is recommended to use Mariout-2 cultivars for their high production under these conditions.

This experiment was carried out in sandy loam soil of private farm at Romana , North Sinai Governorate, Egypt during two successive winter seasons 2017 / 2018 and 2018 /2019, to study the effect of three types of biochar, (A) produced from corn stalk, straw rice , straw of faba bean and cotton stalk, (B) produced from trees stalk and (C) town refuse, with three levels from Urea fertilizer (0, 20, 30 Kg N/fed), plus control treatment which received the recommended dose of urea (46 %N), to examine the effects of biochar types combined with or without nitrogen fertilizer on faba bean productivity under saline soil conditions. Faba bean variety Giza 843 were sowed on 12 November 2017 and 2018.The experiment was carried out in a split plot design with three replicates. Results obtained that, the combination between biochar types with different levels of N fertilizer enhanced all tested parameters. Moreover, biochar type (C) with level 30 Kg N/fed recorded the highest values of all tested parameters. On the other hand, the same treatment was the most effective on the root rot and wilt incidences, where the survival plants was 97.9 % and 93.4% respectively and decreased the number of the pathogenic fungi.
