Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted during Kharif - 2018 in the net house of the Department of Soil Sci. and Agril. Chemistry, A. A.U., Anand to carry out a study on effect of biochar and FYM on yield, chemical composition of fodder sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and properties of salt affected soil. The soil of experiment was loamy sand having good drainage and pH 8.0 at 0-15 cm soil depth. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design (factorial). The treatment comprised four levels of biochar (B0: 0 t ha-1, B1: 2.5 t ha-1, B2: 5.0 t ha-1 and B3 : 7.5 t ha-1) and three levels of FYM (F0 : 0 t ha-1 , F1 : 5.0 t ha-1 and F2 : 10.0 t ha-1 ).
