“…The obstruction of Na + accumulation and the improvement of nutrient uptake could be a mechanism of salt stress mitigation in stressed plants supplemented by CMB. Our results are consistent with the study of Abd El-Mageed et al [ 3 ] in pepper plants.…”

“…Reduction of chlorophyll contents, because of either slow synthesis or fast breakdown, indicated that there was a photoprotection mechanism through reducing light absorbance by decreasing chlorophyll contents [ 74 ]. Similar findings have been reported in pepper amended with modified biochar [ 3 ]. Therefore, the current findings will be useful in future for the improvement of soybean crop under saline conditions.…”

“…On the other hand, application of chitosan modified biochar (CMB) to salt-stressed soybean plants significantly enhanced plant growth in comparison to non-amended plants, and these findings are consistent with [ 65 ]. For example, the authors of [ 3 ] used modified biochar in pepper plants under saline conditions and identified that the modified biochar significantly improved the plant growth and productivity. Similarly, [ 66 ] demonstrated that biochar and chitosan enhanced the dry biomass of plants under stress conditions.…”

“…The major portion of oil and soy meal is consumed as edible oil and in animal feed, respectively, while soybean seeds are used in different food items such as tofu, miso, and natto [ 2 ]. Salinity is among the greatest threats hindering global food security [ 3 ] and higher levels of salinity have a negative impact on soybean production and quality [ 4 ]. Moreover, a high degree of salinity induces oxidative stress and ion imbalance in plant cells and limit further plant growth and development [ 5 ].…”

Soybean is an important oilseed crop that provides high-quality protein and vegetable oil. Salinity constitutes a negative abiotic factor that reduces soybean plant growth, production, and quality. The adsorption of Na+ by chitosan-modified biochar (CMB) has a significant effect on salinity but the application of CMB is limited in soybean. In the current study, CMB was used for characterization of physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of soybean under salt stress. Comparison of CMB and unmodified (as-is) biochar (BR) demonstrated a significant difference between them shown by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scan electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), elemental analysis and z-potential measurement. Pseudo-first and second-order better suited for the analysis of Na+ adsorption kinetics. The salt-stress reduced the soybean plants growth, root architecture characteristics, biomass yield, nutrients acquisition, chlorophyll contents, soluble protein, and sugar contents, while CMB with salt-stress significantly increased the above parameters. Moreover, CMB also reduced the salinity-induced increase in the Na+, glycine betaine (GB), proline, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in plants. The antioxidant activity and gene expression levels triggered by salinity but with the application of CMB significantly further boosted the expression profile of four genes (CAT, APX, POD and SOD) encoding antioxidant enzyme and two salt-tolerant conferring genes (GmSALT3 and CHS). Overall, these findings demonstrate the crucial role of CMB in minimizing the adverse effects of high salinity on soybean growth and efficiency of the mechanisms enabling plant protection from salinity through a shift of the architecture of the root system and enhancing the antioxidant defense systems and stress-responsive genes for achieving sustainable crop production.

Two field studies were conducted consecutively in the summer season of 2015 and 2016 to investigate the effect of different soil mulching materials (bare soil: BS as a control, white plastic: WP, black plastic: BP and rice straw: RS) on growth, productivity, and water-use efficiency (WUE) of potato under three levels of irrigation (I100=100%, I80=80%, and I60=70% of crop evapotranspiration). Growth characteristics, yield and its components, and WUE were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by both irrigation level and mulching materials. All mulching materials effectively enhanced growth and productivity when compared to bare soil. Potato plants grown under BP and WP as well as RS showed higher mean values of large size (> 60 mm) tubers and WUE compared to non-mulched treatment (BS) in both seasons. Mulching treatments noticeably increased tuber yield in the order of BP > RS > WP. Results displayed that, under different soil mulching materials, the I80 strategy studied here could be successfully applied during summer season in commercial potato production allowing water savings of 20% without any detrimental effect on plant growth or productivity.
