Role of biochar in managing the irrigation water requirements of maize plants: the pyramid model signifying the soil hydro-physical and environmental markers

“…Rice is One of the most important crops worldwide which represents the stable food for more than 50% of the world population (Van Nguyen et al, 2006). In Egypt, it is an important field crop (Elmoghazy and Elshenawy, 2018); however, the residual straw and husk signify a serious problem for the farmers (Ragab et al, 2018, Daiem et al, 2018and El-Chaghaby et al, 2018. Around three teragrams of these residues remain unutilized annually in Egypt (Abdelhady et al, 2014).…”
