Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect High biochar with AMF generally produced the highest leaf area index at flowering.
- Intervention effect Leaf area index ranked high, medium and low biochar in descending order.
- Intervention effect Leaf area index ranked irrigation at 50MAW above 30MAW above 10MAW.
- Intervention effect High biochar gave the highest sunflower seed yield, averaging 51.2 g per plant.
- Intervention effect High biochar plus AMF yielded 79.4 g per plant at 50MAW, the highest for that irrigation level.
- Intervention effect High biochar plus AMF yielded 57.1 g per plant at 30MAW, the highest for that irrigation level.
- Intervention effect High biochar plus AMF yielded 32.3 g per plant at 10MAW, the highest for that irrigation level.
- Intervention effect Biochar plus AMF increased root biomass by 15% relative to untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Biochar plus AMF increased stem diameter by 12% relative to untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Biochar plus AMF increased plant height by 5% relative to untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Biochar plus AMF increased head diameter by 15% relative to untreated plants.
- Intervention effect AMF increased seed protein relative to noninoculated plants.
- Intervention effect Medium or high biochar increased seed protein compared with low biochar.
- Intervention effect Biochar and AMF affected seed oil content at 50MAW and 30MAW.
- Observation At 10MAW, no seed oil content differences were observed.
- Association Yield traits correlated positively with net photosynthesis rate.
- Association Yield traits were negatively associated with hydrogen peroxide content.
- Association Yield traits were negatively associated with malondialdehyde content.
- Recommendation The authors propose biochar and AMF to support sunflower productivity in semiarid conditions.
