The results showed that adding organic fertilizer significantly improved (P \u2264 0.05) some soil properties. Bulk density decreased to 1.19 g\/cm\u00b3 in the 40 tons\/ha treatment compared to 1.26 g\/cm\u00b3 in the control, and total porosity increased to 54.03%, leading to improved aeration and root growth environment. On the water side, the highest rate (40 tons\/hectare) showed an advantage in field capacity (37.22%) and available water (25.95%), thus enhancing irrigation water use efficiency and reducing losses through deep leaching. The 40 tons\/hectare organic fertilization treatment also achieved the highest crop yield, averaging 3.85 kg\/m\u00b2, significantly surpassing traditional mineral fertilization, which recorded 2.25 kg\/m\u00b2. This study demonstrates that using organic residues represents a sustainable and effective alternative for improving soil fertility and increasing agricultural productivity in the central region of Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Organic fertilizers, soil properties, productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v13n5p29.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eissa Nofal1*, khaled Ismaill1 and Wafaa AlAboud1 1 General commission for scientific agricultural research.
