Abstract:

The field and laboratory study entitled, “Influence of biochar prepared from different crop residues on soil properties and yield of maize” was conducted on the Research Farm, Agriculture Technical School, Buldhana, Dr. PDKV, Akola during Kharif,2023-24. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with seven treatments and three replications. The treatments comprised of Factor A including biochar levels (2.5 and 5.0 tha-1) and Factor B including biochar sources i.e sorghum stubble, pigeon pea stalk and cotton stalk with control (without biochar). Based on the result obtained biochar prepared from pigeon pea stalk was recorded highest total NPK content (0.61%, 0.25%, 1.32% respectively), whereas highest total carbon content (36.38%) was recorded in cotton stalk biochar. whereas highest C:N ratio (64.96) was recorded in cotton stalk biochar. Soil physical properties like lower bulk density (1.38 Mg m-3) and higher hydraulic conductivity (0.65 cm hr-1, water holding capacity (61.58%) as well as available NPK(253.02, 18.32, and 393 kg ha-1 respectively in the soil after harvest of maize were recorded significantly highest with the application of biochar@ 5tha-1 and the treatment with different sources of biochar was found non-significant but lower bulk density(1.39 dSm-1) and highest hydraulic conductivity (0.67 cm hr-1), water holding capacity (60.36 %) as well as available NPK (260.04, 17.80, 390 kgha-1) were g observed in pigeon pea stalk biochar. Incase of organic carbon (6.30 g kg-1), significantly highest values were recorded with the application of biochar @5tha-1 and the treatment with different biochar sources was found non-significant but the highest organic carbon (6.20 g kg-1) was observed in cotton stalk biochar. Application of biochar @5 tha-1prepared from pigeon pea and cotton stalk recorded high grain yield (90.15 q ha-1) and stover yield (129.40 q ha-1).
