Under AWD regime, maximum grain produced by RHB (241.12 g), whereas under same amendments, both CF...

Over half of the world’s population depends on rice for its calorie supply, although it consumes highest amount water compared to other major crops. To minimize this excess usage, alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation practice is considered as an efficient technique in which soil intermittently dried during growing period by maintaining yield a flooded system. Continuous AWD may result poor health caused carbon loss, nutrient depletion, cracking, affecting physical properties. Due...

The incubated...

To mitigate global climate change and simultaneously increase soil productivity, the use of biochar in agriculture can be a modern agro-technology that help reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing carbon sequestration, ultimately increasing crop yield. This study aimed to evaluate effects lime application on chemical properties acid emission CO2. A 60-day incubation was conducted with eleven treatments (T) which two different produced from rice husk (RHB) oil palm empty fruit bunches...

Biochar, an ecologically friendly soil amendment, is suggested for large-scale field application its multiple potential benefits, including carbon sequestration, crop yield improvement, and the abatement of greenhouse gas emissions. However, it unknown how effective in changing properties associated improvement when biochar co-applied with lime acidic soil. Here, we examined effects two different biochars, i.e., rice husk (RHB) oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFBB), on nutrient availability,...

Water-saving irrigation occasionally causes an inconsequential yield loss in rice; thereby, biochar incorporation this context has great scope due to its properties, including the release of nutrients and improving soil physicochemical properties. An experiment was conducted investigate effect combined with fertilizer on physiological response, water nutrient efficiency rice changes biochemical properties under AWD (alternate wetting drying) system. Two types practice, such as CF (continuous...

Biochar, a pyrogenic carbon, has been receiving incremental attention for potential contribution to soil health, agricultural productivity enhancement while mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, it is not well-known us how far rice husk biochar (RHB) application rates could increase phosphorus (P) bioavailability plant performance when co-applied with P lime. Here, we present data of pot experiment consisting eleven treatments...

Biochar has been suggested for application in acidic soils increasing agricultural productivity, as it may result the benefits of sustainable carbon offset into and soil fertility improvement. However, role biochar enhancing nutrient bioavailability plant performance is manifested through complex interactions biochar-soil-plant. Moreover, not yet known how a crop-residue-derived would perform when applied with reduced rate lime phosphorus. Here, we examined maize different combinations...

Biochar is a potential carbon-rich soil amendment that improves the physicochemical properties of soil, besides acting as controlled release fertilizer. An experiment was conducted to investigate effect biochars on rice yield, fertilizer use efficiency and recovery under water-saving irrigation by 15N isotopic tracer study. Two types alternate wetting drying (AWD) continuous flooding (CF), four biochar treatments such husk (RHB) with urea, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFBB) urea alone...
