“…Soil available phosphorus content had significant negative correlation with pH CaCl 2 value (r= -0.779, p<0.05) ( Table 4). There is a considerable evidence in the literature (Lakhdar et al 2009;Krzyżaniak and Lemanowicz 2013) that pH can affect forms and dynamics of this nutrient in soil. At pH>7 phosphorus is precipitated by Ca 2+ and Mg…”

“…The influence of soil EC 1:5 on enzyme activities might be that the level of soil salt had some impacts on enzyme configuration and formation of its activity centre. Changes in salinity also have the potential to impact extracellular enzyme activity by influencing molecular stability and protein confirmation states (Lakhdar et al 2009). Soil available phosphorus content had a significant (r=-0.884, p<0.05) negative correlation with the EC 1:5 value.…”

“…Conversely, during the mineralization process, organic matter releases humic substances, which may convert soil phosphates into available forms, improving release from hardly soluble rock minerals due to high total acidity [32]. Additionally, under saline soils the available fraction of potassium (K) can increase through the increase of CEC linked to organic matter content.…”

Excessive salt rate can adversely influence the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils, mainly in arid and semi-arid world regions. Therefore, salt-affected soils must be reclaimed to maintain satisfactory fertility levels for increasing food production. Different approaches have been suggested to solve these issues. This short review focuses on selected studies that have identified organic materials (e.g., farmyard manures, different agro-industrial by-products, and composts) as effective tools to improve different soil properties (e.g., structural stability and permeability) in salt-affected soils. Organic fertilization is highly sustainable when compared to other options to date when taken into consideration as a solution to the highlighted issues. However, further experimental investigations are needed to validate this approach in a wider range of both saline and sodic soils, also combining waste recycling with other sustainable agronomic practices (crop rotations, cover crops use, etc.).

“…Composts are used in agriculture and horticulture to improve soil fertility and quality because they can increase organic matter content, espeycially in sandy soils which have low water and nutrient holding capacity (Lakhdar et al 2009). By increasing soil organic matter content, composts improve soil physical properties such as structural stability (Tejada et al 2009), total porosity and hydraulic conductivity (Aggelides and Londra 2000), aggregate formation (Sodhi et al 2009), and water holding capacity (Curtis and Claassen 2005).…”

Effects of compost on water availability and gas exchange in tomato during drought and recovery

Compost can increase soil water availability and nutrient uptake by plants, but it is not clear whether it can also improve the ability of plants to recover after drought stress. Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) were grown in sandy soil without compost or with compost either incorporated or mulched. There were two water treatments: (i) plants grown under sufficient water supply throughout the experiment and (ii) plants grown with sufficient water supply until day 33 after which water was withheld until stomatal conductance was close to zero. Compost addition increased water content at both field capacity and permanent wilting point, but only incorporated compost increased total available water. Compost addition increased shoot and root growth under well-watered and drought stressed conditions with a greater effect by incorporated compost. At sufficient water supply, the rates of photosynthesis and transpiration were similar in all treatments. Drought stressed plants with incorporated compost wilted earlier than control plants, whereas mulched compost increased water availability to plants and hence the number of days until wilting. Photosynthesis and transpiration recovered faster in plants grown with incorporated compost compared to other treatments. The rapid recovery of plants after drought with incorporated compost could be due to their greater root length.
