Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Biochar reduced soil bulk density by 5.5%–11.6%.
- Intervention effect Biochar increased soil permeability by 35.4%–49.5%.
- Intervention effect Biochar improved soil nutrient status.
- Intervention effect Biochar reduced soil sodium adsorption ratio by 25.7%–32.6% under saline irrigation.
- Intervention effect Biochar maintained higher leaf relative water content and lower Na+/K+ ratio under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Biochar enhanced photosynthesis and relieved leaf senescence during reproductive stages.
- Intervention effect Biochar improved grain formation.
- Intervention effect Biochar at 10 t ha−1 increased wheat grain yield by 8.6% relative to saline irrigation alone.
- Intervention effect Biochar at 20 t ha−1 increased wheat grain yield by 8.4% relative to saline irrigation alone.
- Intervention effect High biochar dose might increase soil salinity and limit nitrogen availability.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 10 t ha−1 biochar for saline water irrigation of wheat for at least two years.
- Recommendation The authors recommend long-term studies of sustainable straw biochar use.
