The Effect of Biochar Applications at Different Doses on Soybean Seedlings Grown in Salty Conditions

Abstract

In this research, the effects of biochar application at different doses on the mineral element content of soybean seedlings under salt stress were investigated under greenhouse circumstances. In the study, leaf and root some mineral contents were investigated. According to the data obtained from the study, it was stated that while the leaf and root plant nutrient content of soybean seedlings decreased in salty conditions in general, the applied biochar increased the leaf and root plant nutrient content. This positive effect of biochar treatments on enhancing mineral element content was dose dependent. In conclude, biochar can be used as an amendment for increasing plant nutrient use efficiency of plants under saline conditions.
