Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Soil Electrical conductivity as Affected by Biochar Under Summer Crops Authored by Haq Nawaz Abstract A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of biochar on soil electrical conductivity under summer crop at the research farm of the University of Agriculture, Peshawar during kharif, 2017. The experiment was performed in RCB design having four replicates. Different level of biochar 0, 5, 0, and 10 t ha -1 was applied to field. Data on soil electrical conductivity was taken. The result shows all soil samples under different crops (Chickpea-maize, chickpea-mung, wheat-maize and wheat-mung) were nonsaline in nature. Mean electrical conductivity was maximum (0.067dSm -1 ) for treatment (T3) which had not received any biochar while remaining treatments has same electrical conductivity which is 0.066dSm -1 . Furthermore mean electrical conductivity of soil under chickpea/maiz...
