- Intervention effect Biochar significantly reduced rice Na+ concentration and Na+/K+ ratio.
- Intervention effect Biochar improved rice stress physiological conditions.
- Intervention effect B1 increased average grain-filling rate by 5.76% compared with B0.
- Intervention effect B2 increased average grain-filling rate by 6.59% compared with B0.
- Intervention effect B3 increased average grain-filling rate by 9.80% compared with B0.
- Intervention effect B4 increased average grain-filling rate by 10.79% compared with B0.
- Intervention effect Biochar increased time to maximum grain-filling rate by 6.02% to 12.47%.
- Intervention effect Biochar enhanced rice grain sucrose synthase, ADPG pyrophosphorylase and starch synthase activities, particularly with nitrogen fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Biochar enhanced rice grain starch branching enzyme activity, particularly with nitrogen fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Rice yield increased 11.95–42.74% in B1 relative to B0, within the reported treatment range.
- Intervention effect Rice yield increased in B2 relative to B0 within the reported 11.95–42.74% treatment range.
- Intervention effect Rice yield increased in B3 relative to B0 within the reported 11.95–42.74% treatment range.
- Intervention effect Rice yield increased in B4 relative to B0 within the reported 11.95–42.74% treatment range.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that biochar improves rice yield through ionic balance, physiology, starch synthesis enzymes and grain filling regulation.
