Interactive effect of cropping systems and biochar levels on spore density in soil after wheat harvest in year 1 (2015/16). Biochar treatment 1 is control receiving no biochar in any season, 2 is receiving biochar at 20 t ha-1 each in summer and winter, 3 is receiving biochar at 40 t ha-1 in winter season and 4 is receiving biochar at 40 t ha-1 in summer season.
Interactive effect of cropping systems and biochar levels on spore density after wheat harvest in year 2 (2016/17). Biochar treatment 1 is control receiving no biochar in any season, 2 is receiving biochar at 20 t ha-1 each in summer and winter, 3 is receiving biochar at 40 t ha-1 in winter season and 4 is receiving biochar at 40 t ha-1 in summer season.
