Abstract
The positive effects of biochar on both soil quality and plant growth and also on plant growth of macroalgae have been reported in studies. Studies on biochar and macroalgae interaction are quite limited. This study was carried out according to randomized plot design in greenhouse conditions to determine the effects of biochar and Cladophora glomerata applications and interaction on the growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and some enzyme activities in the rhizosphere. Biochar and C. glomerata interaction increased wheat root (90%) and shoot dry weight (84.2%), root length (43.1%) and plant height (84.2%) compared to control. Biochar application increased alkaline phosphatase activity by 66.3%, while C. glomerata increased β-glucosidase activity by 49%. The interaction of both applications increased catalase activity by 62.1% compared to control. These findings confirm the potential of biochar and C. glomerata to improve wheat production by inducing growth.
