Article Synopsis
- Soda saline-alkaline stress negatively affects rice grain filling, reducing overall crop yield, but biochar has been found to help mitigate these effects.
- A two-year field experiment tested various levels of biochar and nitrogen fertilizer, revealing that biochar reduced sodium levels and improved the physiological condition of rice plants, leading to better grain filling rates across different application amounts.
- Results indicated that biochar significantly increased rice yield by 11.95-42.74%, especially when combined with nitrogen fertilizer, by enhancing key enzyme activities crucial for starch synthesis and regulating ionic balance in saline-alkaline soils.
