Key Points

Significantly higher growth and yield were achieved with chemically modified biochar in maize and Calliandra calothyrsus.
Functionalized biochar showed enhanced water retention compared to traditional mulching materials.
Randomized block design was used to monitor growth parameters over two seasons in a semi-arid region.
This approach may aid in boosting agricultural productivity in regions facing water scarcity.
