| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted to determine the effect of biochar in selected chemical properties of soil and improve the agronomic and yield performance of lowland rice. The treaments evaluated were: T1 (control), T2 150-40-60 (Agritech recommendation), T3 (150-40-60 + 5 t/ha of Biochar), T4 )150-40-60 + 10 t/ha of Biochar), T5 (150-40-60 + 15 t/ha of Biochar), and T6 (150-40-60 + 20 t/ha of Biochar). Chemical properties of the soil as Total N, Available P, Exchangeable K, and pH were not significantly improved by the amendment of biochar. However, the cation exchange capacity ofd soil amended by biochar increased over the unamended plots. Plant height, number of tillers per hill, number of spikelets and yield were significantly increased by the application of Inorganic Fertilizer alone or in combination with biochar. Biochar at the rate of 20 tons/ha showed promising result as significantly increased the yield over the rest of biochar amended plots except for 5 tons/ha. | |
