“…1 and 2). These ndings are consistent with other reports that bio-fertilizers are able to enhanced uptake micro and micro nutrients (Ahmadabadi, et al, 2018;Turan, V., 2021;Zhao et al, 2021). Biochar is a valuable source of macro (N, P, and K) and micro nutrients (iron, zinc, copper, and manganese)) Agegnehu et al,2015;Zubair et al, 2021).It has been demonstrated that the application of biochar has a signi cant effect on the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium due to the following reasons: 1) Biochar with a temporary change in pH, which is useful for the absorption of less available nutrients (Liu et al, 2016), 2) The high cation exchange capacity in the chemical structure of biochar can lead to the retention of potassium, hence, potassium can be more available for the plant (Heitkotter and Marschner, 2015), also The positive effects of mycorrhizae on the absorption of macro nutrients can be mentioned by increasing hyphae and root absorption surface and the exudation of phosphatases to the outside of the cell .…”

The effects of cobalt contamination on maize plant growth and the potential benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and biochar (B) as low-cost amendments for improving plant growth in metal-polluted soils were investigated in a pot experiment. The experiment evaluated the impact of Rhizophagous intraradices and biochar on maize plants grown under different cobalt concentrations (0, 60, and 120 ppm). A wide range of physiological parameters, including plant height, number of leaves, root and shoot fresh and dry weight, relative water content, electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll and carotenoid content, oxidative stress, cobalt distribution, and nutrient content, were analyzed. The results revealed that cobalt contamination had a negative impact on plant growth, reducing chlorophyll and carotenoid content, increasing oxidative stress, and elevating cobalt accumulation in the shoot while also decreasing nutrient content. However, Rhizophagous intraradices inoculation and biochar application were shown to be effective in reducing cobalt uptake in aerial parts, improving nutrient content, and reducing oxidative stress. This study highlights the potential of AMF and biochar as cost-effective amendments for improving maize growth and mitigating cobalt toxicity in contaminated soils.

Ensuring global food security under present and futuristic scenario of climate change accompanied by expanding population is of major concern worldwide. Researchers across the world are focusing on sustainable agronomic practices to combat climate change induced issues like desertification, reduction in crop yield, pest outbreaks, and reduction in soil health. Biochar has demonstrated positive effects on plant growth, development, fruit quality, carbon capture and sequestration. Studies indicate that biochar amendments to soil can enhance soil health, plant growth and development as well as help in combating abiotic stressors. Biochar has several properties that make it an attractive soil amendment, including high porosity, surface area, water-holding capacity, and the ability to increase soil microbiota, which in turn can promote nutrient uptake and reduce soil erosion. Environmentally, biochar’s ability to degrade organic pollutant as well as sequester carbon makes it a very attractive addition to sustainable agriculture. Nonetheless, biochar has also been reported to have potential hazardous impacts on human health associated with possible leakage of toxic elements and particulate matter pollution. However, lack of exhaustive studies that detail all the major aspects of biochar application in agroecosystem impedes decision making on its overall usability in agriculture. There exists a need for comprehensive review that cover all the important aspects of biochar supplementation. This review provides a thorough overview of the multifaceted impacts of biochar, encompassing its positive effects on soil, plant growth, development and environment, while also exploring the limitations along with potential toxic effects associated with its application.
