| Abstract | ||||
| Two field experiments were conducted during two consecutive winter seasons. 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 to assess charcoal and biochar on soil fertility and wheat productivity in sandy soils at the Agriculture Station, Ismailia Governorate, Agricultural Research Center, Egypt. , Each trial was performed in a randomized, complete system fashion with three replicates. Charcoal used for application rates (0, 1 and 2 tons acre -1) was mixed with soil 20 days before planting. Biological fertilization, Rhizobium radiobacter (PGPR), was applied by coating wheat kernels (Triticum aestivum L.) Giza 171. The results indicated that the soil pH value ranged from 7.94 to 7.79 for soils treated with charcoal, while these values were. It was 7.94 to 7.81 for biochar treated soils. Also, ECe values tend to be lower with the application of charcoal, as the available micro and macronutrients have been increased due to the use of both biochar or charcoal. The values of all cultivated characteristics of wheat such as plant height (cm), spike length (cm), spike count, 1000 grain weight (g), and straw and grain yield weight (ton / acre) increased with the increase. The rate of charcoal compared to biochar. The increase in the concentration of macronutrients and micronutrients in the grain and straw of wheat plants may be due to the increased availability of nutrients in the soil as they are affected by charcoal compared to biochar. It can be concluded that charcoal at a rate of 2 tons/acre achieved monster results compared to biochar and increased wheat yield. | ||||
