Soil Amendment With Different Maize Biochars Improves Chickpea Growth Under Different Moisture Levels by Improving Symbiotic Performance With Mesorhizobium ciceri and Soil Biochemical Properties to Varying Degrees.

摘要: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume originating in the Mediterranean and Middle East now cultivated several varieties throughout world due to its high protein fiber content as well potential health benefits. However, production drastically affected by prevalent water stress most soybean-growing regions. This study investigates of biochar affect chickpea-Rhizobium symbiotic performance soil biological activity a pot experiment. Two different types were produced from maize using pyrolysis techniques, i.e., heating at 600°C (MBC) batch-wise hydrothermal carbonization 210°C (HTC), used amendments. The plant biomass, nutrient concentration, nodule numbers, leghemoglobin (Lb) content, enzyme activities, contents grown chickpeas examined. Our results indicated that root shoot acquisition N, P, K, Mg, contents, alkaline acid phosphomonoesterases, proteases significantly increased HTC char application comparison MBC under both well-watered drought conditions. Furthermore, caused increase number 52% conditions improving chickpea with Mesorhizobium ciceri. Rhizobial inoculation combined showed positive effect on FDA activity, phosphomonoesterases compared control or char-amended soils. concept, whereby type producing plays central role biochar, conforms fact there link between chemical physical properties enhanced acquisition, tolerance.
