“…Macci, Doni [ 28 ], however, found that organic fertilizer was more effective in increasing soil organic matter content and microbial activity than inorganic fertilizer. Similar findings have been made by other researchers showing that organic nutrients are more likely to be released into the environment slowly and for a longer period, and with a beneficial impact on the soil microbiome [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. For pollutant cleanup, biostimulation with either organic nutrients or with a combination of organic and inorganic nutrients has been proven to be more productive because it not only provides nutrients to microbes, but also enriches the soil[ 32 ].…”

The most common approaches for the in-situ bioremediation of contaminated sites worldwide are bioaugmentation and biostimulation. Biostimulation has often proved more effective for chronically contaminated sites. This study examined the effectiveness of optimized water hyacinth compost in comparison with other organic and inorganic amendments for the remediation of crude oil-polluted soils. Water hyacinth was found to be rich in nutrients necessary to stimulate microbial growth and activity. An organic geochemical analysis revealed that all amendments in this study increased total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) biodegradation by ≥75% within 56 days, with the greatest biodegradation (93%) occurring in sterilized soil inoculated with optimized water hyacinth compost. This was followed by polluted soil amended with a combination of spent mushroom and water hyacinth composts (SMC + WH), which recorded a TPH biodegradation of 89%. Soil amendment using the inorganic fertilizer NPK (20:10:10) resulted in 86% TPH biodegradation. On the other hand, control samples (natural attenuation) recorded only 4% degradation. A molecular analysis of residual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) showed that the 16 PAHs designated by the US EPA as priority pollutants were either completely or highly degraded in the combined treatment (SMC + WH), indicating the potential of this amendment for the environmental remediation of soils contaminated with recalcitrant organic pollutants.

“…In saline soils, the addition of plant residues increases microbial activity and biomass temporarily; as a result, microbial activity and biomass return to values similar to those in the unamended soils [5]. Similarly, previous studies have reported that application of plant residues could mitigate the effects of salinity on soil microbial properties under laboratory conditions [13] and also could improve soil fertility [48].…”

Background Soil salinization influences the physical and chemical properties of soil and disturbs soil biodiversity. Application of wheat straw in saline soils with enhance soil fertility could mitigate the effects of salinity on soil microbial properties under laboratory conditions. However, knowledge is inadequate regarding the effects of adding enriching plant residues with beneficial organisms on soil quality in saline soil. To enhance this knowledge, an incubation experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of wheat straw (0 and 1%, w/w) enriched with microbial strains (control, Streptomyces chartreusis, Pleurotus ostreatus and a mixture of P. ostreatus and S. chartreusis.) on some soil chemical and biochemical properties under salinity stress (0, 8 and 15 dS m−1). Results Salinity stress led to reducing soil available phosphorus (13–23%), available potassium (5–7%), total nitrogen (3–18%). Wheat straw inoculated with S. chartreusis and P. ostreatus improved microbial respiration rate (108–305%), soil microbial biomass carbon (80–110%), microbial biomass phosphorus (50–115%), catalase activity (20–140%), urease activity (25–45%), soil organic carbon (70–100%) and dissolved organic carbon (15–20%) under all salinity levels. The effect of S. chartreusis enriched wheat straw on enzymatic and microbial properties was higher than that of wheat straw inoculated with P. ostreatus under salinity stress conditions. Conclusions The results of this study demonstrated that the enrichment of wheat straw with S. chartreusis and P. ostreatus act synergistically and improve soil fertility and microbial properties. It can be concluded that the combined application of wheat straw and actinobacterial and fungal strain can be an effective strategy to ameliorate soil salinity stress in agriculture.

“…Between Fe 2 SO 4 and peat moss alone, the former produced more vegetative growth in P. x alkinsiana. Soil amendments enhance soil chemical, physical, and even biological characteristics and may provide essential elements required by plants [33]. The addition of Fe 2 SO 4 to soil may reduce SAR by increasing CaCO 3 solubility, which in turn replaces Na + ions [20].…”

Water insufficiency is the hampering feature of crop sustainability, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. So, the effectual usage of all water resources especially underground brackish water represents the core priority in Saudi Arabia. The present study aimed to recognize the influence of different types of water irrigation (tap water as a control, salinized well water, and magnetized salinized well water) with or without soil amendments (soil without any amendment as a control, peat-moss, ferrous sulfate, and peat-moss plus ferrous sulfate) on petunia plant growth and flowering as well as ion content. Irrigating Petunia plants with saline well water adversely affected growth and flowering as compared to tap water and magnetized saline well water. Additionally, plants irrigated with magnetized water showed a significant enhancement in all the studied vegetative and flowering growth parameters as compared to those irrigated with salinized well water. Furthermore, mineral contents and survival of Petunia plants irrigated with magnetized well water were higher than those irrigated with tap water. Irrigation with magnetized well water significantly reduced levels of Na + and Cl − ions in leaves of Petunia plants indicating the role of magnetization in alleviating harmful effects of salinity. In conclusion, we recommend the utilization of magnetized saline well water for irrigating Petunia plants either alone or in combination with soil amendments (peat moss plus ferrous sulfate).
