Enhancing growth and physiological traits in alfalfa by alleviating salt stress through biochar, hydrogel, and biofertilizer applications
Biochar treatment resulted in the highest chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll contents under salt stress. Soil amendments with biochar, hydrogel, and biofertilizer promote alfalfa growth and yield and help mitigate the adverse impact of salt stress.
