Abstract

Biochar is carbon rich product that is developed under oxygen deficit heating known as pyrolysis. Presently, biochar application in agriculture is gaining interest and attention in alleviating biotic and abiotic. Salinity and heavy metal stresses are significant abiotic stresses which hinder crop production. Here, in this chapter, we have discussed in detail the role of biochar in reducing abiotic stresses and their effect on crop growth. In addition, a brief sketch of biochar production methods and factors affecting its quality have also been discussed.
