Effect of using non - conventional and traditional organic wastes on some physical properties of clay soil and peanut productivity in Akkar Plain


Abstract in English

This research was conducted in 2016c, at the Zahid Western Research Station in Akkar Plain region of Tartous Governorate, the objective of this research is study the effect of non-conventional organic waste (compost of garbage, sewage sludge) and cow manure on the physical properties of clay soil in the region. Wastes was added to the soil at a rate of (0 - 10 - 20 – 30) t/ha, in order to determine the effect of the difference in the quantity added on physical properties of the soil and peanut productivity.
