A plastic pot open-air trial was conducted with the Paspalum vaginatum (seashore paspalum) using different rates of biochar or compost addition to sandy loam soil and two water treatments (60% and 20% of the water-holding capacity of the control) during three seasons (winter, spring, and summer). Paspalum growth, physiological characteristics, and physicochemical properties of soil were investigated. The effect of biochar on soil properties was assessed using factor analysis of mixed data (FAMD). Additionally, multiple factorial designs (MFA) were used to examine the impact of three biochars on physiological functions. Peanut hull biochar application increased soil fertility and chlorophyll concentration of paspalum leaves significantly compared to the other biochars. Physiological characteristics were significantly improved with peanut hull biochar under summer compared to winter and spring due to the accumulation of nutrients in the soil by the decomposition of biochar. The application rate of the three biochars reduced the water requirements of paspalum. The best result was obtained by incorporating 6% peanut hull biochar into the soil, which resulted in better soil quality and healthy grass in dryland conditions while using 47.5% less water. These findings can be suitable for golf managers and can serve as a solution for dry zones.
