Summary
ABSTRACT Legume crops are excellent sources of nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and fatty acids. However, their agricultural productivity is severely affected worldwide due to drought stress. Combined application of biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improves plant growth, soil biochemical properties, and mitigates drought stress. This study evaluated the individual and combined effects of biochar and AMF on common bean growth, root morphological traits, and soil enzyme activities under drought conditions. A net house experiment was conducted using various treatments involving biochar application, AMF inoculation, and a combination of biochar and AMF. Results of the present study demonstrated that both biochar and AMF treatments significantly improved plant growth param
