The book aim to contribute the latest understandings of physiological, biochemical and molecular bases of the responses of major crop plants to a range of different biomass produced biochar to introduce climate resilience crop varieties which leads to enhanced crop productivity and quality under stressful conditions and also for better utilization of natural resources to ensure food security through modern breeding. Finally, this book will be a valuable resource for future plant stress related research with biochar, and can be considered as a reference book for front-line researchers working...

The alkaline calcareous nature, high pH, salinity, heavy metals pollution and low organic matter content of the soils in many parts of the world have diminished the soil fertility and made essential nutrients unavailable to crops.
