Abstract:

Salinity is a major stress threatening crop production in the arid and semi-arid region of the world. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ability of Biochar (BC) of (Prosppis juliflora) of biochar and poultry manure compost (PMC) under salinity stress. The field experiment was organized Department of Soil Science, Sindh Agriculture, University Tandojam during kharif season 2016. The treatment include T1=control, T2=(0+5 t ha-1)Biochar + Poultry manure compost (BC+PMC),T3=(5+5 t ha-1)Biochar + Poultry manure compost (BC+PMC), T4=(10+5 t h-1) Biochar + Poultry manure compost (BC+PMC), T5=(15+5 t ha-1)Biochar + Poultry compost (BC+PMC), T6=(20+5t h-1) Biochar + Poultry manure compost (BC+PMC).The finding of experimental result showed that the maximum increase in plant height (cm), were in treatment T6, where the biochar was applied at the rate of(20+5 t ha-1). But the effective yield such number of bolls, seed-cotton yield were increase in treatment T4, where the biochar was applied at the rate of (10+5 t ha-1). Over all experimental observation concluded that the increasing rate of Biochar + Poultry manure compost(BC+PMC) increased vigorous growth and may not effective for yield response in compassion of moderate rate of application of biochar + poultry manure compost (BC+PMC) under a saline soil.
