“…Comparable results to this study on increase of plant growth as a result of biochar application were also reported by Carter et al [25]. Biochar has been reported to promote plant productivity through several mechanisms such as enhancement of physical conditions with biochar application through enhanced water-holding capacity thereby providing water for plant growth [26].…”

The effect of biochar on tree growth and soil physical properties as indicated in literature is still outstanding. Information on the effect of biochar on tree growth is limited, and the available literature has recorded conflicting results. Therefore, a field experiment using Casuarina equisetifolia (Casuarina) as the test crop under different biochar rates was conducted. Four biochar rates (0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 t ha−1) were used as treatments, each replicated three times. Generally, biochar-amended plots recorded higher Casuarina height, collar diameter, and diameter at breast height (DBH). The application of biochar at 7.5 t ha−1 resulted in higher Casuarina height of up to 20.2% compared to the control. On the contrary, application of biochar at 2.5 t ha−1 recorded higher collar diameter of up to 30.2% compared to the control. Generally, there was a decrease in soil bulk density with biochar application. Bulk density decreased linearly with increasing biochar application rates with biochar application rate of 7.5 t ha−1 recording the lowest bulk density (0.99 g cm−3). There was a decrease in bulk density of up to 25% compared to the control with the biochar application rate of 7.5 t ha−1. Biochar application rate of 7.5 t ha−1 also recorded the highest soil moisture content across the assessment periods. Biochar-amended plots recorded higher soil moisture content than the untreated control. There was increase in soil moisture content following biochar application of up to 108% with the application of biochar at 7.5 t ha−1 compared to the untreated control. The increase in soil moisture content with biochar application can be attributed to biochar’s porous nature and large surface area. These results suggest that the use of biochar has the potential of enhancing Casuarina growth while enhancing soil physical properties by decreasing bulk density and enhancing soil moisture storage.

“…At day 177, seedlings treated with 10% manure recorded the highest DGL of 0.487 cm, 36.4% higher than the control and 53.6% higher than seedlings treated with 10% biochar (Table 3). This increase in collar diameter with manure application could be attributed to increased availability of nutrients through mineralization of the manure (Biederman and Harpole, 2013;Khaitov et al, 2019). Some studies had also reported similar results where there was an increase in collar diameter of Acacia senegal seedlings with manure application compared to the control (Daldoum and Hammad, 2015).…”

“…The treatment with a combination of 10% biochar and 10% manure recorded the highest shoot/root ratio of 4.83 and was followed closely by 10% manure treatment with a ratio of 4.66. The high shoot/root ratio can be attributed to enhanced height growth with manure application as a result of enhanced nutrient availability especially nitrogen (Khaitov et al, 2019). Seedlings treated with 10% biochar and 20% biochar had the lowest S:R ratio of <3.6 :1 as shown in Table 9.…”

“…Generally, biochar and manure treated seedlings recorded higher Casuarina seedling height than the control (Table 4). This could be as a result of increased nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus with manure and biochar application and enhanced soil moisture holding capacity (Khaitov et al, 2019;Bierderman and Harpole, 2013). Availability of nitrogen is essential for plant vegetative growth while phosphorus plays a crucial role in root development (Razaq et al, 2017).…”

This study investigated the effects of biochar and manure applied singly or together on soil biochemical properties, Casuarina equisetifolia seedling growth and seedling quality. Therefore, a nursery experiment consisting of Prosopis juliflora biochar and cattle manure treatments at 0% (control), 10% biochar, 20% biochar, 10% manure, 10% biochar + 10% manure, and 20% biochar + 10% manure was conducted. Generally, biochar containing treatments recorded higher P concentrations; where the combination of 20% biochar and 10% manure gave the highest phosphorus concentration, which was 137.3% above the control. Nitrate concentrations were higher in manure treatments than the control by 122.9%. As a result of C. equisetifolia's ability to fix nitrogen, nitrates concentration in the control increased from 0.016 ppm at the onset of the experiment to 2.18 ppm at the end the experiment. There was also a general increase in pH with biochar and manure application. Seedlings treated with 10% manure recorded the highest collar diameter and height which was 36.4 and 27.4% above the control respectively while treatments with biochar alone recorded the lowest seedling collar diameters. Seedling quality as observed using the shoot/root ratio showed that sole biochar treatments had the recommended range of <3:1. These results suggest that the use of biochar and manure enhances nitrogen and phosphorus availability which are crucial for production of seedlings that grow significantly faster than seedlings raised from forest soil only.

“…However, due to the comparatively low nutrient content of organic manures, they may not be enough to meet the plant's needs. The application of organic manure with chemical fertilizer increases microbial activity, nutrient usage efficiency, and the availability of native nutrients to plants, resulting in increased nutrient uptake [9]. To obtain optimal yields, it is vital to employ organic manures in conjunction with inorganic fertilizers to provide the soil with all of the plant nutrients in easily available form and to maintain good soil health [10].…”

Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizer on the Growth and Yield Components of Traditional and Improved Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes in Malaysia

Rice is the most important staple cereal human nutrition and consumed by 75% of the global population. Rice plants need a supply of essential nutrients for their optimal growth. Rice production has increased tremendously in Malaysia insensitive irrigation and the use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides. However, the effect of using inorganic fertilizers resulted in contamination of ground water and decreased the productivity of soil, which in turn affected the rice production in the long term. The use of organic manure may help to regain the soil health, but that is insufficient for providing the essential nutrients to achieve optimal growth. Therefore, the use of organic manure combined with inorganic fertilizers is applied to obtain optimum yields. This study aims to test the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield components of 65 rice genotypes. The pot experiment was conducted at the net house on field 10, University Putra Malaysia, UPM, Malaysia, during the period of February to June 2019 and August to December 2019 in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. There were three treatment combinations viz. T1: 5 t ha−1 chicken manure (CM), T2: 2.5 t ha−1 CM + 50% CFRR, T3: 100% (150 N: 60 P2O5: 60 K2O kg ha−1) and chemical fertilizer recommended rate (CFRR). Grain and straw samples were collected for chemical analysis, and physical parameters were measured at the harvest stage. Results showed that most of the growth and yield components were significantly influenced due to the application of organic manure with chemical fertilizer. The application of chemical fertilizer alone or in combination with organic manure resulted in a significant increase in growth, yield component traits, and nutrient content (N, P, and K) of all rice genotypes. Treatment of 2.5 t ha−1 CM + 50% CFRR as well as 100% CFRR showed a better performance than the other treatments. It was observed that the yield of rice genotypes can be increased substantially with the judicious application of organic manure with chemical fertilizer. The benefits of the mixed fertilization (organic + inorganic) were not only the crop yields but also the promotion of soil health, the reduction of chemical fertilizer input, etc.
