Abstract:Background
The combination of compost and biochar (CB) plays an important role in soil restoration and mitigation strategies against drought stress in plants. In this study, the impact of CB was determined on the characteristics of saline calcareous soil and medicinal productivity of fenugreek plants (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). The field trials examined CB rates (CB0, CB10 and CB20 corresponding to 0, 10, and 20 t ha‒1, respectively) under deficit irrigation (DI0%, DI20% and DI40% receiving 100, 80 and 60… Show more
