Abstract

The productivity of plants is adversely affected by soil salinity. However, it is predicted that plant growth-promoting rhizosphere bacterial (PGPRs) and the use of crop residues as biochar can improve plant growth and development in the presence of salinity and different stresses. A pot experiment was performed in a complete randomized design using two soils with different EC (S1 = 2, S2 = 15 dSm-1). Treatments included different types of enriched biochar (BC) as rock phosphate-biochar (BC-RP), BC-H3PO4-RP, BC-HCl-RP, BC-PSB and BC-RP-PSB to assess the effects of apple-grape pruning biochar, enriched biochar, and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) isolated from saline soils around Lake Urmia on the phosphorus (P) availability. After harvesting, soil physicochemical properties (pH, EC), P-Olsen, acid, and alkaline phosphatase activities, and plant growth indices were investigated. The results showed that in both soils, the highest alkaline phosphatase activity was in BC-H3PO4-RP and BC-HCl-RP treatments. In both soils, the highest plant dry matter was obtained in BC-H3PO4-RP and the highest plant P in BC-H3PO4-RP, BC-HCl-RP, and BC-RP-PSB treatments. Experimental treatments did not affect the soil EC but significantly reduced the pH of soils. Indeed, BC-H3PO4-RP reduced the pH of S2 and S1 soils by 1.1 and 0.6 units, respectively, while BC-HCl-RP reduced the pH of S1and S2 soils by 0.56 and 1.16 units, respectively. The P-Olsen concentration of S1 soil under BC-H3PO4-RP and BC-HCl-RP treatments were 57.7 and 41 mg kg-1and of S2 soil were 67.4 and 38.6 mg kg-1, respectively. Interestingly, in both soils, P-Olsen concentration in BC-RP-PSB treatment was more than TSP treatment, suggesting a remarkable ability of the studied bacteria. Since enriched biochar with various minerals and inoculation with PSBs showed an unexpectedly higher P-Olsen compared to TSP, more field studies are needed for supporting as well as clear understanding of P-enriched biochar potential in different soils and climates.
