Abstract

Organic matter serves as a very significant source of plant nutrients. Intensively misused soils want an exterior resource of stabilized organic matter, such as compost, in order to counteract progressive soil organic matter deterioration. The present study demonstrated the effects of composted and uncomposted organic wastes on growth of chickpea plants. Peanut shells and saw dust were used as organic wastes as treatments at the rate of 10tons/ha. All treatments were promoted the physical and biochemical parameters of experimental plants. Composted organic materials enhanced more growth as compared to uncomposted materials. Organic soil amendments can improve soil fertility and plants growth.
