Description
This study investigates the effects of biochar combinations with different types of manures on plant growth, nutrient uptake, and soil health in fava beans. The length, biomass, and chlorophyll content of the plants were assessed, along with the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium uptake. Soil properties such as pH, electrical conductivity, and organic matters were also evaluated. The results demonstrated that the presence of biochar combinations significantly enhanced plant growth and productivity in fava beans, the combination of 3% combination exhibited the highest length and biomass, leading to a substantial increase in productivity compared to the control group. The biochar combinations positively influenced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in all plants specifically, the 1% combination yielded the highest nitrogen and potassium content in fava beans. As for soil properties, the addition of biochar combinations resulted in an increase in soil pH, suggesting a potential for soil alkalization. Soil organic matter content significantly increased with increasing biochar concentration.
These results highlight the positive impact of biochar combinations on plant growth, nutrient uptake, and soil health in fava beans which emphasizes the potential of these combinations as sustainable strategies to enhance agricultural productivity and improve soil fertility.
