Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from December 2016 to April
2017 to observe the effect of biochar and water stress on the growth and yield
of wheat. In this experiment, the treatment consisted of three doses of biochar
viz. BC
1
= Control, BC
2
= 5 ton biochar ha
ii
-1
, BC
3
= 10 ton biochar ha
and four
different water stress viz. water stress, WS
1
= regular irrigation, WS
= skipped
irrigation at crown root initiation stage, WS
= skipped irrigation at booting
stage, WS
4
3
= skipped irrigation at heading and flowering stage. The experiment
was laid out in two factors Randomized Complete Block Design
-1
, leaf length, Number of effective tillers hill
, ear
length, number of spikelets per spike, number of grain per spike, grain yield
was found from biochar 5 ton biochar ha
-1
. The highest grain yield ha
-1
.The maximum plant height,
Number of leaf plant
-1
, leaf length, Number of effective tillers hill
, ear length,
number of spikelets per spike, number of grain per spike ,yield was attained
from skipped irrigation at booting stage.The maximum yield
-1
-1
with skipped irrigation
at booting stage. BARI Gom 27 coupled with 5 ton biochar ha
and skipped
irrigation at booting stage was found to be a promising practice for good yield.
