Threats of soil quality deterioration and metal pollution have inflicted several parts of the
world, apart from the need for surplus crop production. The investigation used biochar …

Crop establishment is the most important phenological stage in the life cycle of crop plants
which is governed by the pre-sowing quality of seed. From harvesting to sowing, a broad …

Drought stress (DS) is a potential abiotic stress that is substantially reducing crop
productivity across the globe. Likewise, salinity stress (SS) is another serious abiotic stress …

Biochar has been shown to improve soil properties and plant productivity in soils with
inherently low fertility. However, little has been reported for upland corns under dry and wet …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are known to associate with several cereal crops. The
rhizobacterium exerts its function by synthesizing diverse arrays of phytohormones, such as …
