Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Biofertilizer improved alfalfa shoot length, shoot dry weight and root dry weight relative to control and hydrogel.
- Intervention effect Biochar had more pronounced alfalfa growth effects than the other treatments.
- Intervention effect Biochar gave the highest chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll contents under salt stress.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that biochar soil amendment promotes alfalfa growth and yield and mitigates salt stress.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that hydrogel soil amendment promotes alfalfa growth and yield and mitigates salt stress.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that biofertilizer soil amendment promotes alfalfa growth and yield and mitigates salt stress.
