Two field experiments were raised at Farm of El-Sirw Agriculture Research Station, Dammitta province, Egypt through 2018 and 2019 seasons. The present study was performed to compromise the influence of rice straw biochar and other two soil amendments of rice straw compost and gypsum on rice growth and yield of three contrasting rice varieties,Giza177 (salt sensitive variety), Giza 178 (salt tolerant variety) and Giza179 new (salt tolerant variety) under saline sodic soil. The field experiments were designed in spilt plot design with four replications. The three rice varieties were scattered in the main plot, whereas the
amendment treatments; control, gypsum(G), rice straw compost (RS) and rice straw biochar (RSB) were put
in the subplots. The tested rice varieties were significantly different in growth parameters, yield attributes and yields in both seasons. Giza 179 as a new salt tolerant variety provided the maximum values of rice growth characteristics and most of yield contributes and yields without significant difference with Giza178 were considering yields. Applying varying soil amendments greatly improved rice growth and yields in addition to yield attributes comparing to the control treatments. Rice straw biochar surpassed significantly other two amendments, particularly in the first season, meanwhile in the second season the three soil amendments were equally in increasing grain yield. Thereby, rice straw biochar could be applied each two years but rice straw compost has to apply in two successive season to get its efficiency.
