“…Using the OS5p Modulator Fluorometer (Model OS5p, Opti-Sciences, Hudson, NH, USA), the chlorophyll-fluorescence parameters were measured on three leaves from the same treatment in the afternoon in the dark and in light. Before measuring photosystem-II activity, all leaf samples were kept in the dark for 30 min [11].…”

The effects of pyrolyzed agricultural waste generated from banana leaves on the development and physiological responses of Paspalum vaginatum in different water conditions were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) computations were utilized to describe the banana-waste biochar and determine the crystalline structure and functional groups. A plastic pot was used in two trials to examine the effectiveness of the studied biochar under two situations (well-watered Ww and limited-watered Lw). Seashore paspalum was cultivated in loam soil that had been modified with biochar as a single addition and a biochar compost mix. Six water scarcity scenarios were chosen (100, 80, 60, 25, 20, and 15% of water holding capacity (WHC) of the control soil). To analyze the varied responses of P.vaginatum in well-watered and limited-water environments, principal component analysis (PCA) was used. Under Ww, photosynthesis, biomass, fluorescence, and chlorophyll content increased, whereas, under Lw and control, they declined. Biochar and compost combinations enhanced the relative water content (RWC) more than biochar alone or in combination. Conversely, stomatal density in drought-stricken plants showed the reverse trend.

“…In a pot experiment with ten levels of an organic amendment given to a sandy loam poor soil at 20% WHC, this research looked at the effect of peanut hull biochar on P. vaginatum. Based on our previous results, we suggested that peanut hull biochar will improve and ensure physiological traits and paspalum growth even under 20% of WHC considered severe drought conditions [7,8].…”

“…Furthermore, all P. vaginatum plants were given 20% WHC of sandy loam soil. Different rates of peanut hull biochar were used in this study, with 6 percent B0C corresponding to 137.04 Mg/ ha and 3 percent B0C corresponding to 68.52 Mg/ha [8,9].…”

“…Seashore paspalum is a drought-tolerant C4 that can withstand both abiotic and biotic stresses [14]. Recent research has found that banana waste biochar improves the biological characteristics of P. vaginatum [8]. In a pot experiment with ten levels of an organic amendment given to a sandy loam poor soil at 20% WHC, this research looked at the effect of peanut hull biochar on P. vaginatum.…”

Drought is a universal problem that affects plant production and degrades soil. The point of this study was to appraise the physiological responses of Paspalum vaginatum to water stress and to attempt to minimize its impacts using organic amendment in arid and semi-arid climates. In winter 2019, a pot investigation was undertaken for this reason in the south of Morocco on a plastic pot filled with sandy loam soil and various levels of peanut hull biochar and compost on 20% of water holding capacity. The results revealed that adding biochar and compost enhanced photosynthesis, stomatal traits, and water availability in plants cultivated in amended treatments compared to untreated treatments. This study could be a prominent reason for managing luxury golf courses in arid zones.

A plastic pot open-air trial was conducted with the Paspalum vaginatum (seashore paspalum) using different rates of biochar or compost addition to sandy loam soil and two water treatments (60% and 20% of the water-holding capacity of the control) during three seasons (winter, spring, and summer). Paspalum growth, physiological characteristics, and physicochemical properties of soil were investigated. The effect of biochar on soil properties was assessed using factor analysis of mixed data (FAMD). Additionally, multiple factorial designs (MFA) were used to examine the impact of three biochars on physiological functions. Peanut hull biochar application increased soil fertility and chlorophyll concentration of paspalum leaves significantly compared to the other biochars. Physiological characteristics were significantly improved with peanut hull biochar under summer compared to winter and spring due to the accumulation of nutrients in the soil by the decomposition of biochar. The application rate of the three biochars reduced the water requirements of paspalum. The best result was obtained by incorporating 6% peanut hull biochar into the soil, which resulted in better soil quality and healthy grass in dryland conditions while using 47.5% less water. These findings can be suitable for golf managers and can serve as a solution for dry zones.
