Abstract:
The field experiment, " Impact of various biochar sources incubated with FYM on soil carbon pools and fodder maize yield" was performed at the Post Graduate Institute's Research Farm, M.P.K.V., Rahuri's Instructional Farm in the Department of Soil Science and Agriculture Chemistry during the 2019–20 kharif season. Following their removal from the experimental area, the soil samples were examined for their initial chemical properties. The texture of the soil is clay loam. The soil had low, medium, and high available N, P, and K concentrations, in that order. There were three replications and seven treatments in the field trial, all of which were set up using a Randomized Block Design (RBD). Applying FYM incubated cotton stalk biochar greatly boosted fodder maize yield (50.63 t ha-1), which was comparable to treatments T5, T7, T6, and T4 (48.51 t ha-1, 46.26 t ha-1, 46.23 t ha-1, and 45.16 t ha-1). In the absolute control treatment, the lowest yield of fodder maize (21.36 t ha-1) was noticed.

In the absolute control treatment, the lowest yield of fodder maize (21.36 t ha-1) was noticed.
Applying T3 treatments (cotton stalk biochar incubated with FYM (1:1) (2.5:2.5 t ha-1) resulted in greater soil organic carbon (0.82%), which was comparable to T7 (0.78%) treatments. In comparison to the control, the significantly greatest total organic carbon (1.23%) was comparable to T5 (1.13%), T7 (1.10%), and T6 (1.09%). The application of T3 treatments resulted in significantly higher soil microbial biomass carbon (219.6 mg kg‑1) for cotton stalk biochar incubated with FYM (1:1) (2.5:2.5 t ha-1). This was comparable to T5 treatments (208.1 mg kg-1) for pigeon pea stalk biochar incubated with FYM (1:1) (2.5:2.5 t ha-1) and T2, (195.2 mg kg-1) GRDF (100:50:50 kg ha-1 + 5 t ha-1 FYM). The absolute control treatment revealed the lowest percentages of soil organic carbon (0.63%), overall organic carbon (0.95%), and microbial biomass in the soil carbon (131.9 mg kg-1).
