Summary
A two-year field experiment assessed biochar-manure compost combined with diluted pyroligneous solution on maize grown in saline soil. The treatment reduced soil salinity indicators, improved leaf nutrient status, reduced plant stress markers and substantially increased maize growth and grain yield compared with the untreated saline control.
