Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Biochar application in cropland can alleviate water deficiency and promote maize growth, but its underlying physiological mechanisms remain unclear. This study conducted pot experiments with 2 × 3 factorial combinations of biochar dosages (0 (Non-B), 1% (B-applied)) and irrigation regimes (well-watered (WW), moderate-deficit (MD), and severe-deficit (SD)), forming 6 treatments (BWW, WW, BMD, MD, BSD,...
