From the environmental problems caused by the disposal of agricultural residues through burning and soil quality deterioration. Biochar has become increasingly popular in recent years for its ability to store and release nutrients as well as enhance crop productivity. In practical application, limitations and varied outcomes have been encountered in the field, prompting an interest in further developing more efficient biochar models. The aim of this research was to develop microbe-assisted modified biochar from rice straw for soil amendment and plant growth promotion. In this study, the effect of microbe-assisted modified biochar application on enhancing soil properties and on the growth of Kor-Khor 105 was investigated. Five treatments with the variation of modified biochar dosages (1, 2 and 3% (w/w)) in pot experiments were carried out with triplicates. The obtained optimum ratio of modified biochar application was used in three cement pot experiments. Plant growth promotion after treatments was evaluated, and soil samples were collected before and after 3 months for the analysis of physical and chemical properties. Moreover, the expression of genes involved in the induced systemic response (ISR) was investigated. Results obtained from the rice plantation showed that the application of microbe-assisted modified biochar at a dosage of 1% (w/w) gave the highest growth promotion. Soil properties such as organic matters, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, extractable potassium and soil fertilities were also increased. The result of the expression of genes involved in the induced systemic response (ISR) indicates the immune and health status of the plants. It was found that modified biochar could moderately increase the ISR and exhibit synergistic effects.
