Potential Effects of Biochar Application for Improving Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) Growth and Soil Biochemical Properties under Drought Stress Conditions

Different soil amendments are applied to improve soil properties and to achieve higher crop yield under drought conditions. The objective of the study was to investigate the role of biochar for the improvement of wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) growth and soil biochemical properties...
