Biochar Effects Coastal Saline Soil and Improves Crop Yields in a Maize-Barley Rotation System in the Tidal Flat Reclamation Zone, China
The summer maize-winter barley (or wheat) rotation system is a conventional farming method in coastal areas of east China. However, researchers have paid little attention to the increasing soil degradation after successive crop rotation in coastal saline agriculture. In the current study, a two-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the changes in soil physio-chemical properties and crop grain yields under the maize-barley rotation system. Wheat straw derived biochar (BC) was applied to topsoil (0~20 cm) at four different rates (0, 7.5, 15 and 30 Mg ha−1) before summer maize cultivation, and no biochar was added in the cultivation of the winter barley. Bulk density (BD), water holding capacity (WHC), water stable aggregate (WSA), soil electrical conductivity (EC), pH (1:5 water w/v) and soil organic carbon (SOC), at the harvesting time of maize and barley, were analyzed. The application of biochar increased WHC and macro-aggregate (>2 mm) content after barley harvest. Soil EC was mainly affected by the rain during maize cultivation and increased only slightly under BC treatments. However, no difference in EC was found among all treatments after barley harvest. The application of BC at 30 Mg ha−1 increased the maize yield by 66% but produced no difference in the barley yield. We concluded that biochar could be an effective option to mitigate soil degradation and improve crop productivity in coastal saline agriculture.
