Abstract

The effects of biochar and plant growth promoting (Pseudomonas fluresenc) as biofertilizer on some sandy soil physical, chemical properties and wheat productivity were studied in two successive winter season (2021–2022 and 2022–2023). A field experiment was carried out at the Ismailia Agric.Res.Station, Ismailia Governorate, Egypt (latitude, 30o 35' 41.901" N and longitude, 32o 16' 45.834" E). Two rates of biochar (2.4 and 4.8 Mg ha-1) and two techniques methods of biofertilization (Pseudomonas fluresenc) were applied as coating or soaking. The results showed that biochar rates and biofertilizer (Pseudomonas fluresenc) enhanced soil moisture content, bulk density, and total porosity. During both seasons under study; a significant decrease in (BD) values was observed, while an increase in (TP) and soil moisture content values (FC, WP, and AW) were observed compared to control. Furthermore, the biochar application has a greater impact on soil CEC and organic matter .The significant increase in soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium availability obtained with increasing rates of applied biochar combined with biofertilizer. Furthermore, the results showed that the application of a high rate of biochar (4.8 ha-1) in conjunction with coating biofertilizer treatment recorded the highest values of macronutrient content and wheat yield components compared to control and other treatments. Also, there is no significant different detected between coating or soaking was observed.

8 of 10 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
