- Intervention effect Combined compost and humic acid gave higher soil microbial carbon and nitrogen biomass.
- Intervention effect Combined compost and humic acid increased pea root and shoot length.
- Intervention effect Organic amendments increased soil microbial carbon density by 67.0 to 83.0 percent.
- Intervention effect Organic amendments increased soil microbial nitrogen biomass by 46.0 to 88.0 percent.
- Intervention effect Combined amendments increased soil microbial nitrogen biomass by 57.0 to 60.0 percent over single amendments.
- Recommendation The authors suggest compost and humic acid as a practical amendment for growing legumes in weak arid soil.
