Abstract
The effects of urban waste compost and natural zeolite on chemical properties of saline soil were studied in this research. Soil was treated with five different treatments by weight such as control (only soil), compost 15% + 85% soil, composte 30% + 70% soil, zeolite 10% + 90% soil, zeolite 20% + 80% soil. These matterials were mixed well and the treatments were conserved into pots for 10 days, in the experimental conditions; later, the parameters such as soil pH, saturated soil extract electrical conductivity (EC), organic material (OM), lime, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and exchangeable sodium (Na) were analysed. The result revealed that natural zeolite has more effeciancy in chemical reactions such as CEC which showed 2.41 and 3.77 times more CEC in 10% and 20% application of zeolite compare to control, and exchangeable sodium which showed 22.39% and 41.6% increase in 10% and 20% of zeolite application respectively, and caused better change in chemical properties of the soil. Notworthy, urban waste compost also cuntribuited remarkably in increasing soil organic matter as well as soil EC, lime and CEC particularly in 30% compost applied treatment.
