Abstract

Agriculture has a vital role in providing food. According to the climatic conditions and shortage of precipitation, conservation of water resources has vital importance. In order to study the effect of biochar on the water requirement and crop coefficient in coriander growth process in the greenhouse under water stress, one factorial experiment in randomized complete block design in three replications was carried out. The results showed that the application of biochar reduced the rate of evapotranspiration compared to the control treatment. The results revealed that the minimum and maximum evapotranspiration of the coriander were obtained 5.1 and 1.1 and the mentioned values for the reference plant were 6 and 2 mm/day, respectively. The total and average evapotranspiration of the coriander and reference plant for the 42-day period were 141.3 and 150.4 mm and 3.3 and 3.6 mm/day, respectively. The results of the analysis of variance of irrigation water depth showed that the effect of irrigation and biochar treatment was significant at the probability level of 5%. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the amount of water consumed in the application of 2.5% and 5% biochar, but it was significantly different compared to the application of 0%. In the present study, the evapotranspiration and crop coefficients of coriander at different growth stages were investigated daily in the greenhouse. Aggregation of evaporation-transpiration values in different treatments of biochar and irrigation levels showed that the use of biochar improves soil moisture.
