Researchers from Punjab Agricultural University in India looked at the effects of adding organic amendments in farmland soil, in particular, its impact on the soil’s microbial activity. Their findings were published in the journal Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science.
In sum, microbial activity in saline soils is highly dependent on organic amendments.
