The crop was applied with recommended dose of fertilizer with neem biochar and poplar biochar at five different doses (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). Out of all the treatments T₄-(Recommended dose of fertilizer +Neem Biochar 15%) was found to be best treatment followed by T₉ –(recommended dose of fertilizer+ 15% of poplar biochar) results revealed that there was significant difference from 30^th day to 120^th day and parameters are plant height (97.95 cm), number of tillers per plant(8.78), plant dry weight(129.31gm), length of panicle (14.20 cm), number of grains per panicle (25.66), grain yield (27.73 q ha^-1), straw yield (63.32 q ha^-1) and harvest index (54.90 %).
