Impact of rice husk biochar and inorganic amendments on growth attributes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design with three repetitions in the field of School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, from 31st November 2017 to 28th April 2018 to study Impact of rice husk biochar and inorganic amendments on growth attributes parameter of wheat. Different pots were treated with different level of biochar and inorganic amendments viz., T1(100% RDF), T2(3% Biochar+50% RDF), T3(3% Biochar+75% RDF), T4(3% Biochar+100% RDF), T5(5% Biochar+50% RDF), T6(5% Biochar+75% RDF), T7 (5% Biochar+100% RDF) with control. Result revealed that application of (3% Biochar+75% RDF) recorded significantly highest growth attributes (Plant height (cm), Number of tillers, Leaf length (cm)) after 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 DAS.
