Abstract
Abiotic stresses are the dominant constraints to successful crop production in the modern era. Over the past few decades, researchers have devised various techniques to ease the effects of abiotic stresses on crop plants. Biochar is a vital eco-friendly biostimulant that mostly increases crop production and alleviates the adverse effects of different abiotic stresses. It improves crop yield as a fertiliser and soil quality as a soil conditioner. Biochar amendment in the soil is gaining popularity these days. This is because it improves the physio-biochemical and biological properties of soil. Biochar enhances abiotic stress tolerance as well as growth and yield of plants by modulating ionic homeostasis, photosynthetic apparatus, antioxidant machineries, reducing heavy metal accumulations and oxidative damages. However, the stress-relieving roles of biochar have not been thoroughly assembled. This review summarises current reports of biochar application and discusses the potential roles of biochar amendment in soil for crop growth and production under stress and non-stress conditions. This review also covers the possible mechanisms for how abiotic stress mitigation is accomplished in plants and the limitations and prospects of biochar application in agriculture.
Keywords: abiotic stress, antioxidants, biochar, crop growth, ion homeostasis, oxidative damage, soil salinity, stress tolerance.
