Effect of wheat straw biochar addition on canola growth in different soils

Biochar has been demonstrated as a soil amendment to improve soil health and plant yield. The present study aimed at investigating the potential of wheat straw on canola morphology and yield grown in different soils. The influence of biochar on soil physical and chemical properties was also assessed. A completely randomized design pot experiment was carried out in a glasshouse where canola was planted in eight different soils with and without biochar treatment. Wheat straw biochar was incorporated in pots at 1% of the total soil weight. Canola was grown for 105 days, after which canola growth and yield parameters were evaluated. The soil properties were also measured. The two treatments, eight soil types, and six replicates made up 96 pots in total. Leaf and soil parameters were measured in triplicate, while growth and yield parameters had six replicates.

**Description:** The data belongs to the glasshouse pot experiment conducted in Plant Growth Facility, Macquarie University. It includes canola growth and yield parameters and soil properties. The experiment consisted of two treatments, control (abbreviated as C), biochar (abbreviated as B), and was conducted on 8 soil types. Each treatment had 6 replicates, making a total of 96 pots. The soil types are given below

1.     LS = loamy sand

2.     SL = ..., ,
