AB  - BACKGROUND: Salinity is a major stress threatening crop production in dry lands. 
      A 2-year field experiment was conducted to assess the potential of a biochar 
      product to alleviate salt-stress to a maize crop in a saline soil. The soil was 
      amended with a compost at 12 t ha(-1) of wheat straw biochar and poultry manure 
      compost (BPC), and a diluted pyroligneous solution (PS) at 0.15 t ha(-1) 
      (BPC-PS). Changes in soil salinity and plant performance, leaf bioactivity were 
      examined in the first (BPC-PS1) and second (BPC-PS2) year following a single 
      amendment. RESULTS: While soil salinity significantly decreased, there were large 
      increases in leaf area index, plant performance, and maize grain yield, with a 
      considerable decrease in leaf electrolyte leakage when grown in amendments. Maize 
      leaf sap nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium increased while sodium and chloride 
      decreased, leaf bioactivity related to osmotic stress was significantly improved 
      following the treatments. These effects were generally greater in the second than 
      in the first year. CONCLUSION: A combined amendment of crop straw biochar with 
      manure compost plus pyroligneous solution could help combat salinity stress to 
      maize and improve productivity in saline croplands in arid/semi-arid regions 
      threatened increasingly by global climate change.
