Abstract

This study was carried out in Soil. Sci. Dept. Faculty of Agriculture, Menoufia University, Egypt during years of 2016 and 2017 on two salt affected soils of El-Hamoul area, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, North Nile, Delta, Egypt. This was to study the effect of added compost with different rates and incubation period on the chemical properties of these soils. The applied compost rates were 0, 1, 2 and 3%. The incubation periods were 0, 3 and 6 months at the room temperature. The studied soil properties were pH, EC, the content of soluble cations (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+), soluble anions (Cl- , CO32-, HCO3- and SO42-). The results indicated that, the increasing rates of added compost as well as incubation periods resulted in a decrease in soil pH, soluble Na+ and Cl-. Whereas, these led to an increase in EC. In general, compost application improved the chemical properties of the studied salt affected soil.
