The use of char as a cutting off-zone in salt-affected soil and its effect on salt-sensitive plant
Main Article Content
Abstract
Char produced by traditional kiln has been considered as a suitable material used as cutting off-zone in salt affected soil. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of two different char sizes in reducing the movement of salt to the top soil in relation to changes in some soil chemical properties and plants growth (a column trial). The experiment was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and divided into 6 treatments include the following: 1) control (soil without char added), 2) soil + NaCl, 3) soil + char 1-2 mm, 4) soil + char 1-2 mm + NaCl, 5) soil + char < 1 mm, and 6) soil + char < 1 mm + NaCl. Results indicated that two different sizes of char (1-2 mm and < 1 mm) addition in soil significantly increased soil pH and EC (P ≤ 0.05). Both two sizes of char revealed similar results as they decreased % relative changes of soil EC (-6.1 % and - 9.06 %, respectively) as compared to soil without char addition (87.14 %). Application of two sizes of char into the salt-affected soil greatly increased plant production compared to the normal soils. Under salt solution conditions, application of char (1-2 mm in size) has the greatest impact on plant total height (19.33 cm), shoot height (7.43 cm) shoot dry weight (1.36 g), and root dry weight (0.21 g). Possible mechanisms underlying char mediated increases in plant growth under salt solution conditions were also discussed. Meanwhile, application of char (1-2 mm and < 1 mm) into the normal soils (soils without salt solution) resulted in highest number of leaves per plant (5.67 and 5.33, respectively) (P ≤ 0.05). This study revealed the properties of charcoal in salt adsorption at time intervals relative to plant growth.
