- Intervention effect PSB with hydrogel increased soil nitrogen to 242±14.52 kg/ha relative to other treatments.
- Intervention effect PSB with hydrogel improved soil microbial biomass carbon to 98±6.64 µg/g relative to other treatments.
- Association Soil nitrogen and water holding capacity were positively correlated, r = 0.8021.
- Association Soil nitrogen and microbial biomass carbon were positively correlated, r = 0.8028.
- Association Soil water holding capacity and organic carbon were positively correlated, r = 0.8029.
- Observation The amended soil produced spinach yield of 27.9±2.01g/m2.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that incorporating PSB and hydrogel improves soil and spinach growth in semi-arid regions.
