Two different biochar-doped hydrogels affect the growth of arugula (Eruca vesicaria) under different irrigation period
2023
Overview
PurposeToday, the decrease in water resources in the worldwide has become an undeniable reality. In addition to climate change, wild agricultural irrigation also increases the rapid consumption of this vital source. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of olive tree-OTB and pine tree biochar-PTB used for enhancing the water retention capacity of hydrogel against water scarcity stress on the arugula plant.MethodThe PVA/SA were used for hydrogel synthesis and 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1% OTB and PTB were used as additives in hydrogel. Characterization of hydrogels were carried out with SEM and FTIR analyzes. The swelling properties of hydrogels were determined gravimetrically. A 1% and 1.5% hydrogel/turf ratio was added to the pots to determine the effectiveness of hydrogels on growth parameters of arugula under the water scarcity.Results and ConclusionThe results showed that biochar-doped hydrogels had higher swelling capacity than pure hydrogels. When the hydrogels achieved the equilibrium swelling capacity, the best efficiency was obtained from 1% PTB-doped hydrogel as 141.05% and 0.1% OTB-doped hydrogel as 103.60%. However, OTB-doped hydrogels faster swelled than PTB-doped hydrogels. The effects of hydrogels on growth parameters of arugula under different water scarcity were also determined. The results showed that 0.25% OTB- and 1% PTB-doped hydrogels had positive effects on plant under water scarcity. Besides that, the 1% hydrogel/turf ratio was enough for PTB-doped hydrogels for healthy plant. In summary, it was determined that it was appropriate to use pine tree biochar by doping in the hydrogels that will be applied in the fight against drought.
