耕作方式和秸秆还田对直播稻田土壤有机碳及水稻产量的影响

研究了直播稻田在不同耕作方式和秸秆还田下土壤有机碳(SOC)和水稻产量的变化。结果表明,秸秆还田能够显著增加SOC含量,耕作方式可显著影响土壤有机碳的垂直分布。SOC含量与水稻籽粒产量存在显著的正相关关系(R2=0.712 9**,n=6),SOC含量与土壤全氮(TSN)之间有显著的正相关性(R2=0.860 9**,n=43)。秸秆还田能够促进土壤有机碳的增加,稳定直播稻田系统的生产力,实现粮食安全和生态环境安全的双赢。     

Arsenic in Water,Soil, and Rice Plants in the Indo-Gangetic Plains of Northwestern India

Arsenic (As), which is present in all living tissues, water, and soil, is considered toxic to humans and animals. Because of the presence of arsenic-contaminated sites throughout the world, there is a renewed interest in studying the status of As in water, soil, and plants. Concentrations of As above the permissible limit have been reported in Lower Ganges Plains (West Bengal in India and Bangladesh). The present investigation aimed to examine the concentration of As in water, soil, and rice plants in the Upper/Trans-Ganges Plains covering Punjab in northwestern India. In total, 200 water samples were collected from different locations in Punjab. Corresponding soil, rice grain, and straw samples were collected from the same locations as the water samples had been collected. In addition to deep tube well water (>125 m deep), water samples from shallow hand pumps (<50 m deep) and canals were also collected. The samples were analyzed for total As concentration using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with a hydride generating system (AAS-HG). The concentration of As in tube well water samples varied from 5.33 to 17.27 μg As L^–1, with about 40% samples having As concentrations greater than the permissible limit (10 μg As L^–1). None of the hand pump and canal water samples had As concentrations greater than permissible limits. The As concentration of surface soils varied from 1.09 to 2.48 mg As kg^–1. There was no trend in the distribution of As with depth of soil. The concentration of As in rice straw varied from 4.05 to 15.06 μg As kg^–1 and that of grain from 1.48 to 6.87 μg As kg^–1. The concentration of As was lower in edible grain than in inedible straw. There was a positive and significant correlation between As concentration in tube well water and As concentration in surface soils. The buildup of As in soils was directly related to the As concentration of tube well waters. There was a significant correlation between As in water and As in plants. However, a nonsignificant correlation existed between As in soil and As in plants. This indicates that plants absorbed more As from irrigation water than that from soil. This also suggests that irrigation with such waters over a longer period of time may have detrimental effects on soil and on plants, animals, and humans. There is thus a need to continuously monitor the As concentration in undergroundwater.     

有机物料对稻田土壤团聚体及有机碳分布的影响

通过连续5年定位试验,以紫云英、秸秆和商品有机肥等有机物料还田的稻田土壤为对象,研究有机物料还田后不同物理分组下土壤组成特点和有机碳变化特征。结果表明,稻田土壤团聚体主要分布在2~0.25mm与0.25~0.053mm粒级,团聚体颗粒有机碳含量随着粒径的减小而减少。有机物料还田可提高0.25~0.053mm和0.053mm粒级团聚体有机碳的含量,紫云英、秸秆、商品有机肥等有机物料可通过提高土壤微团聚体有机碳含量而增加土壤碳库。有机物料施用增加土壤轻组组分颗粒含量,减少重组组分颗粒含量,有助于土壤轻组组分的形成。稻田土壤轻组颗粒有机碳含量与0.25mm和0.053mm团聚体颗粒有机碳含量呈显著相关,与2~0.25mm团聚体颗粒有机碳含量呈极显著相关。稻田土壤施用紫云英、秸秆和商品有机肥等有机物料,可有效提高土壤微团聚体和轻组成分颗粒含量,增加土壤微团聚体和轻组有机碳含量,改变稻田土壤有机碳库组成特征。     

Long-Term Application of Chemical Fertilizers and Rice Straw on Soil Aluminum Toxicity

The red soil region in China is very important to agriculture. However, soil aluminum (Al) toxicity often occurs as a result of the high soil acidity. In a long-term experiment, we analyzed soil samples to determine the effect of fertilization on soil acidity and potential Al toxicity. The results showed that after 12 years of utilization, Al toxicity occurred in the soil of the control plot. Chemical fertilizer further decreased soil pH and intensified Al toxicity. However, rice straw effectively improved soil pH and ameliorated soil Al toxicity from 0 to 50 cm deep, which may be attributed to the accumulated soil organic matter (SOM) and the decomposition of the rice straw. Corresponding to the lower Al content in soil, peanut crops grew healthier with greater yields in the rice straw plot, indicating that returning crop stalks to the field should be a feasible fertilization strategy in the region.     

添加水稻秸秆对不同类型土壤团聚体分布和稳定性的影响

以不同类型土壤(红壤、潮土、砂姜黑土)为研究对象,通过室内模拟试验,研究水稻秸秆添加对3种类型土壤水稳性团聚体分布及稳定性的影响。培养温度为28℃,培养时间为120d。研究结果表明:未添加水稻秸秆的3种类型土壤(对照组),微团聚体(250μm)占主体,2 000μm粒级水稳性团聚体含量最少。与对照相比,添加水稻秸秆后促使2 000μm粒级水稳性团聚体显著增加(p0.05),大团聚体(250μm)占主体。红壤、潮土、砂姜黑土试验组250μm水稳性团聚体比对照组增加的比例分别为35.6%,41.1%,22.0%,潮土的增加比例最为明显。3种类型土壤水稳性团聚体的平均重量直径(MWD),几何平均直径(GMD)显著增加(p0.05),分形维数(D)值、土壤不稳定团粒指数(ELT)显著减少,土壤结构和抗侵蚀能力明显得到改善,潮土的稳定性指标变化最为明显,团聚体结构改善效果最好。3种类型土壤0.25mm(R0.25)水稳性团聚体含量与GMD,MWD间呈极显著正相关关系(p0.001)。     

稻秸的不同组分对水稻土微生物量碳氮及可溶性有机碳氮的影响

为探明稻秸(稻草)及其不同组分(腐解稻秸、可溶性有机物和去活稻秸)对红黄泥水稻土微生物量碳、氮(MBC、MBN)和可溶性有机碳、氮(DOC、DON)含量的影响。通过室内恒温培养试验,研究了长期淹水条件下,添加稻秸及其组分对MBC、MBN、DOC和DON的影响。结果表明,与对照(S处理)相比,添加稻秸(RS+S处理)、腐解稻秸(DRS+S处理)和去活稻秸(NARS+S处理)均提高了MBC,提高幅度分别为11.17%(p0.01),1.83%和6.25%(p0.05),添加可溶性有机物(DOM+S处理)处理降低了MBC,降低幅度为2.67%;RS+S处理提高了MBN,提高幅度为15.29%,DRS+S、DOM+S和NARS+S处理均降低了MBN,降低幅度分别为15.19%,3.09%和15.92%。与S处理相比,RS+S、DRS+S、DOM+S和NARS+S处理均极显著提高了红黄泥DOC(p0.01),提高幅度依次分别为13.33%,10.88%,6.81%和11.41%;RS+S、DRS+S和DOM+S处理均显著提高了红黄泥DON(p0.05),NARS+S处理极显著提高了红黄泥DON(p0.01),提高幅度依次分别为6.96%,10.84%,10.12%和13.41%。与S处理相比,DRS+S和NARS+S处理极显著提高了MBC/MBN,RS+S处理显著降低了MBC/MBN,DOM+S处理对MBC/MBN几乎没有影响;各处理对DOC/DON没有显著影响。稻秸及其不同组分对红黄泥水稻土MBC、MBN、DOC和DON含量的影响基本一致,但影响程度存在差异,稻秸和去活稻秸影响较大。结果可为稻秸及其不同组分对MBC、MBN、DOC和DON的影响机理提供基础数据,进一步揭示稻田土壤速效养分的来源与转化关系,为农业生产中秸秆的科学利用和稻田土壤肥力定向培育提供科学依据。     

Management of Sesbania aculeata Incorporation and Nitrogen on the Performance of Transplanted Rice in Calcareous Soil

Two field experiments were conducted to optimize the days for decomposition of dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) with different nitrogen (N) levels and scheduling in transplanted rice in calcareous soil in a split-plot design with three replications. Incorporation of dhaincha one day before transplanting (1-DBT) obviated the need for allowing N gap. Nitrogen scheduling as 50% at active tillering + 40% at panicle initiation + 10% at flowering recorded the maximum grain yield (59.05 q ha^?1) and N–?phosphorus (P)–?potassium (K) uptake. The different N fractions in post-harvest soil were in the order of total N> total hydrolyzable N> non-hydrolyzable N> exchangeable ammonium (NH₄⁺)–?N and nitrate (NO₃^?)–?N. Thus, in calcareous soil, rice may be transplanted immediately after burying the dhaincha without any time gap along with 80 kg N ha^?1. Also, application of nitrogenous fertilizer in three splits, delaying N application until active tillering stage, is beneficial for improving rice productivity.     

Influence of Soil Type on Severity of Straighthead in Rice

Straighthead is a physiological disorder of rice (Oryza sativa) that causes symptoms including deformed florets and panicles, floret sterility, and reduced grain yield. Naturally occurring straighthead is very erratic in its expression, hampering efforts to determine its cause and effect. A greenhouse experiment was conducted using soils from four rice fields with variable histories of straighthead occurrence. The experiment included incorporation of zero or 20 t ha^–1 of wheat straw and used two rice varieties of varying tolerances to straighthead, Doongara (susceptible) and Jefferson (tolerant). Relationships between straighthead severity and soil and plant nutrients were investigated. There was a large difference between soils in the rate of soil redox potential decline after flooding, rice growth and yield, and the presence and severity of straighthead. Straighthead score was significantly correlated with decreased grain yield and increased floret sterility. The incorporation of 20 t ha^–1 straw significantly reduced grain yield and increased floret sterility and straighthead scores in three of the four soils. Plant copper (Cu) and magnesium (Mg) were positively and iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo) negatively correlated with straighthead score. There were no consistent relationships among soil properties, plant nutrients at panicle initiation, and straighthead severity. The results indicate that no one soil mineral/nutrient is controlling the severity of straighthead but a combination of soil chemical factors may be involved. It is recommended that only straighthead-tolerant rice varieties be grown on soils that have a history of straighthead and the incorporation of stubble prior to rice growing should be avoided in these fields. Further research needs to be conducted into ranking Australian rice varieties on their tolerance to straighthead so farmers can choose the most suitable variety for their field.     

气相色谱法同时测定土壤中13种三嗪类除草剂残留量的方法研究

采用气相色谱-氮磷检测器（GC—NPD）方法,建立了同时测定土壤中13种三嗪类除草剂（脱乙基阿特拉津、莠去通、西玛津、莠去津、扑灭津、特丁津、敌草净、赛克津、西草净、莠灭净、扑草净、异丙净、甲氧丙净）残留量的方法。土壤样品用乙腈-水混合提取剂经超声波提取20min,弗罗里硅土（Florisil）固相萃取柱净化后,毛细管柱分离样品,NPD测定。结果表明,13种三嗪类除草剂在0．05-5．0mg·L^-1范围内线性关系良好,相关系数均大于0．999;添加回收率在72．7％～128．2％之间;相对标准偏差在0．4％～20．5％;方法的检出限在0．001-0．005mg·kg^-1之间。     

长期减量化施肥对水稻产量和土壤肥力的影响

为探讨减量化施肥对水稻产量及土壤肥力的影响,对巢湖流域连续10年减量化施肥和秸秆还田定位试验后的水稻产量、土壤有机质、有效氮磷钾、有效铜锌铁锰含量及土壤酶活性进行了测定和分析。结果表明:长期减氮30%或减磷50%处理对水稻产量无明显降低作用,减量+秸秆还田有增产作用,但增产不显著;减氮30%或减磷50%会降低土壤中有机质含量,增加土壤中速效钾、碱解氮含量,减磷50%土壤中的有效磷含量显著降低,减量+秸秆还田会增加土壤中的有机质、速效钾、碱解氮、有效铜锌铁锰含量,对有效磷的增加效果不显著;较不施肥相比,施肥能够明显提高土壤的酶活性,减少氮磷肥会一定程度地降低土壤中的酶活性,减量+秸秆还田对脲酶的增加效果不明显,但会显著增加土壤中性磷酸酶和蔗糖酶活性;土壤酶活性与水稻产量及土壤养分含量之间呈显著或极显著正相关关系。综合考虑减量化施肥对水稻产量和土壤肥力的影响,可提出在巢湖流域实施减量化施肥+秸秆还田处理来代替高产施肥。     

稻草覆盖对旱地小麦产量与土壤环境的影响

江苏淮北丘陵岗岭地区光热资源充足，但水资源匮乏，季节性干旱突出，严重制约了农业生产的发展。为寻求适合于该区农业可持续发展的合理农艺措施，在东海县岭沙土上进行稻草覆盖田间试验，结果表明：稻草覆盖可明显减少土壤水分蒸发，土壤含水率增加13.5%～59%，小麦平均增产12.5%，而且对提高后茬作物产量和改善土壤物理性状，均具有一定作用。     

秸秆还田地不同水氮条件对水稻产量及土壤肥力的影响

[目的]研究秸秆还田地不同水氮管理对水稻产量、土壤养分以及土壤酶活性的影响,为发展优质、高效生态农业提供理论支持。[方法]通过田间小区试验,设计了3种灌溉方式共9个处理,并设置3个麦秆不还田处理为对照。[结果]施氮量为225kg/hm2时,浅湿调控灌溉模式有利于控制水稻茎蘖量,降低水稻株高,形成合理的群体结构;不同水氮管理对水稻产量构成因素中的每穗总粒数、结实率无显著影响,水稻有效穗数受灌溉措施及施氮量的影响较大,浅湿调控灌溉可以显著提高水稻有效穗数和千粒重,从而提高水稻产量;施氮量为225kg/hm2时,浅湿调控灌溉可以有效提高土壤有机质、全氮、有效磷、有效钾的含量。秸秆还田可以显著提高土壤蔗糖酶活性,降低土壤脲酶活性,而对土壤过氧化氢酶活性无显著影响。秸秆还田地施氮量为225kg/hm2时,浅湿调控灌溉对土壤蔗糖酶活性的提高最为显著,而不同水氮条件对土壤脲酶活性的影响并不显著。[结论]在秸秆还田地,当施氮量为225kg/hm2时,浅湿调控灌溉可以有效提高水稻产量及土壤肥力。     

秸秆覆盖旱作对稻田甲烷排放和水稻产量的影响

为较全面评价秸秆覆盖旱作水稻栽培模式的生态意义,采用田间试验研究了常规淹水（F）、秸秆覆盖旱作（NF-M）和无覆盖旱作（NF-ZM）3种栽培模式稻田甲烷排放、水稻产量及土壤养分的变化规律。结果表明：3种水稻栽培模式的甲烷排放均集中在水稻生育期的前20d;在水稻生育期内,秸秆覆盖旱作稻田甲烷的排放总量为11.12g·m^-2,显著高于常规淹水稻田的7.78g·m^-2和无覆盖旱作稻田的4.23g·m^-2。秸秆覆盖旱作稻田的水稻产量为8.60t·hm^-2,与常规淹水处理没有显著差异,但二者均显著高于无秸秆覆盖旱作处理的6.78t·hm^-2;与常规淹水处理相比,秸秆覆盖旱作还可以提高水稻单株生物量10g以上。秸秆覆盖旱作还可以显著提高稻田表层土壤有机质含量,维持和改善表层土壤养分状况,对实现农业可持续性有重要意义。因此,在水资源缺乏地区,秸秆覆盖旱作是一种值得考虑的替代传统淹水栽培的水稻栽培模式,同时秸秆覆盖旱作还田也是一种值得推广的稻田秸秆管理技术。     

Effect of Application of Rice Straw and Cellulose on Methane Emission and Biological Nitrogen Fixation in a Subtropical Paddy Field

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of rice straw and cellulose on methane flux, soil-acetylene reduction activity (ARA) and rice plant growth under a subtropical climate. Rice straw and cellulose (as paper) were applied at the rates of 4 and 10 t ha^-1. Emission rates of CH₄ from the paddy field without and with straw and cellulose amendments were measured by using the closed chamber method. Stimulation of N₂-fixation by the amendments was measured as soil-ARA under anaerobic conditions. The measurements indicated that the application of 10 t ha^-1 cellulose resulted in a relatively high emission of CH₄, with an average flux of 106.7 mg CH₄ m^-2 h^-1, followed by 10 t ha^-1 straw, 51.7 mg m^-2 h^-1, compared with the control, 5.3 mg m^-2 h^-1. Application of straw and cellulose at the rate of 10 t ha^-1 to the paddy field increased the CH₄ emission 10 and 21 fold over the values of the control, respectively as estimated seasonal emissions. The soil-ARA levels in the treatments during the cultivation period were positive. The stimulation of ARA by the amendment with 10 t ha^-1 cellulose occurred at the early stage of rice growth, while the maximum ARA-peak occurred in the 10 t ha^-1 straw-amended soil at around the heading stage. Amendment with straw at 10 t ha^-1 significantly increased the total dry matter weight of rice, whereas growth inhibition was induced by cellulose incorporation. The differences in CH₄ flux, and soil-ARA among the treatments were most evident at the heading stage.     

不同生育期类型水稻对稻田土壤基础供氮量的响应

以长江中下游地区5种生育期类型水稻为材料,于大田条件下研究了不施氮肥水平下不同生育类型水稻对土壤氮吸收的差异.以明确不同生育类型水稻对稻田土壤基础供氮能力的响应.结果表明,土壤基础供氮量随着水稻生育期的延长而增加,中熟晚粳分别比早熟中粳、中熟中粳、迟熟中粳和早熟晚粳高28.99%,18.18%,9.27%和6.06%,表明生育期长的晚粳较中粳对土壤氮素的吸收能力强.土壤氮素利用效率和土壤氮素收获指数,在中粳间的变化规律一致,即随生育期的延长呈先增加后降低的趋势;在晚粳间的变化趋势则表现为,随生育期的延长土壤氮素利用效率增加,土壤氮素收获指数类型问的差异较小.相关分析表明,土壤基础供氮量与基础产量呈极显著的正相关关系,与土壤氮素利用效率和土壤氮素收获指数呈显著或极显著负相关关系.说明土壤基础供氮能力的高低决定着基础产量水平,同时制约着土壤氮素利用效率和氮素收获指数的大小.     

农作制度对黑河中游沙质土壤硝态氮积累及作物产量的影响

为研究沙地农田不同土壤耕作、覆盖方式和轮作对作物产量、土壤硝态氮含量及积累的影响,在黑河中游边缘绿洲典型沙地进行农田定位试验。试验结果表明,在沙地农田生态系统,相对传统的三耕两耱的耕作方式,减少秋耕对玉米和大豆产量没有显著影响;相对于地膜覆盖处理,麦秆覆盖处理使玉米减产11.3%～18.8%,使大豆产量增加6%;不同处理0～40cm土壤硝态氮积累量存在显著差异,作物收获后传统耕作处理土壤硝态氮的平均积累量比少耕处理低8.5%～22.7%,覆膜处理比覆麦秆处理低7.0%～8.8%,玉米连作处理比玉米-大豆轮作处理高54.9%。分析结果表明,减少秋耕、麦秆代替地膜覆盖均有利于土壤硝态氮在作物根系集中层的积累,玉米大豆轮作对土壤硝态氮积累和淋失的影响仍需进一步研究;该试验研究的继续深入将对维持绿洲农田环境的健康和提高沙地农田生态系统生产力提供重要的理论依据。     

外源锌对水稻植株镉的累积差异分析

通过水稻威优46盆栽种植试验,研究了外源Zn施用(0,40,80,160 mg/kg 4个水平)对Cd中度(0.72mg/kg)和重度(5.26mg/kg)污染土壤中Cd生物有效性及水稻Cd累积的差异。结果表明:施Zn对各检测指标存在影响,但土壤Cd总量仍是土壤Cd活性和水稻Cd累积差异变动的主控因素。在Cd中度污染土壤中,施Zn降低了土壤交换态Cd含量1.9%~17.0%,但水稻根表铁膜、根和糙米中Cd含量随Zn施用浓度的增大而增大,糙米Cd含量从0.09mg/kg上升到0.17mg/kg,相关分析显示糙米Cd含量与土壤交换态Zn含量显著正线性相关。在Cd重度污染土壤中,施Zn增大了土壤交换态Cd含量2.1%~4.8%,但降低了水稻各部位中Cd含量,当施Zn浓度超过80mg/kg时,糙米Cd含量可从对照组的0.45mg/kg降低到0.12mg/kg,符合国家食品污染物限量标准(GB 2762-2017)的要求,相关分析显示糙米Cd含量与土壤交换态Zn含量显著负线性相关。对2种Cd污染程度的土壤,施Zn均可增大Cd在水稻地下部的累积率,从而降低水稻地上部Cd的累积率。在Cd重度污染土壤中,可通过施Zn降低糙米Cd含量,施Zn量80mg/kg是试验中最佳施用量;但在Cd中度污染土壤中,施Zn有增大糙米Cd含量的风险。     

浙北地区秸秆全量还田下氮肥用量对单季晚粳稻生长和土壤养分、碳库的影响

为了明确浙北地区秸秆全量还田下单季晚粳稻适宜的施氮量,通过大田试验,采用随机区组设计,根据当地农户施肥习惯,设置4种施氮水平(以纯氮计,N 0,不施氮;N L,165 kg/hm²;N M,240 kg/hm²;N H,315 kg/hm²),研究了浙北地区秸秆全量还田下氮肥调控对单季晚粳稻生长和土壤养分、碳库的影响。结果表明:N M和N H的水稻分蘖数、株高、叶面积系数、叶绿素含量及地上部分干物质重均高于其他处理。在稻田土壤方面,N M的土壤速效磷和速效钾含量较N 0,N L和N H处理分别显著(p<0.05)增加了43.16%,30.13%,13.13%和31.86%,22.13%,15.81%;N M的可溶性有机碳和微生物有机碳含量较N 0和N L处理分别显著(p<0.05)增加了88.47%,13.99%和37.10%,15.39%。在产量方面,N M的产量最高,较N 0,N L和N H处理分别增产51.70%,15.39%,9.45%。综上所述,在本试验条件下,秸秆全量还田施用240 kg/hm²纯氮为浙北地区单季晚粳稻最佳氮肥调控模式。     

晚稻期间秸秆还田对早稻田CH_4和N_2O排放以及产量的影响

选取湖南双季稻田为研究对象,采用静态箱-气相色谱法对晚稻期间秸秆还田配施减量化肥(DNPK+RS)和施化肥(NPK)处理下后季早稻田(2009年)的CH4和N2O排放通量进行观测。结果表明,在早稻田等量化肥条件下,DNPK+RS比NPK增加早稻田CH4排放的81%,减少N2O排放的53%。早稻产量表明,DNPK+RS显著低于NPK(P<0.05)。晚稻期间以秸秆还田来代替部分化肥,会降低次年早稻的有效穗数和肥料增产效应。DNPK+RS处理的单位产量的全球增温潜势为NPK的2倍。秸秆还田应该重视与化肥的搭配比例,否则会降低水稻产量,同时增加下季早稻的温室效应。     

Application of Biochar and Compost for Enhancement of Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Grain Yield in Calcareous Sandy Soil

The application of compost to calcareous soils by farmers is a well-established practice and has been shown to improve yields. However, incorporation of biochar and mixture of biochar and compost into calcareous soils is a relatively novel concept for improving soil quality and yield since calcareous soils comprise a large scale of soils worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the co-application of biochar and compost on the soil properties, nutrient status and grain yield of rice in calcareous sandy soil. The experiment was conducted in a factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The compost application rates were 1% and 3% (w/w; compost/soil) and the applied rates of biochars (rice straw biochar, RSB; sugarcane bagasse biochar, SBB) were 0.3% and 0.9% (w/w; biochar/soil). The results showed that soil pH decreased with increasing application rates of either compost or biochars. However, soil EC was enhanced through increasing the application rates of compost and biochars. The co-application of biochar and compost improved soil total N and available P concentrations. The soil available K increased with increasing the rate of incorporated biochars and compost. An increase of soil available K was more predominate with the application of RSB than SBB. The RSB, also, added a considerable amount of silicon (Si) to the soil. The co-incorporation of biochars and compost enhanced soil available concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn as well. The RSB was more effective than the SBB in grain yield enhancement almost certainly due to a higher Si content in RSB. Furthermore, the concurrent application of biochars and compost increased grain yield more than applying them individually. A higher application rate of biochar and compost induced a higher grain yield. The co-application of highest rates of RSB (0.9%) and compost (3%) induced the highest grain yield (26.1 g/pot) among the treatments. The increase in yield compare to the control were 321% and 260% for 0.9% RSB + 3% compost and 0.9% SBB + 3% compost, respectively. The increase in the grain yield was due to an improvement in the soil chemical properties and nutrients enhancement. Finally, the co-application of the highest rate of RSB (0.9%) and compost (3%) is recommended to obtain the appropriate rate of rice grain yield in calcareous sandy soil.
