choice of the type of organic amendment or fertilizer is critical in organic vegetable production. However, as Montemurro et al. (2006) indicated, differences in soil properties such as organic matter and mineral nutrient content make it difficult to
Humus to Correct Soil Salinity Salts can cause soil organic matter flocculation and loss. Important soil properties, such as water infiltration, water holding, aeration, and nutrient holding capacity, deteriorate as soil organic matter diminishes
