The study included four experimental treatments, consisting of a control (tobacco residues with calcium carbonate without ash), and three other concentrations of ash (10, 15 and 20%). The complete randomization design was followed and based on three replicates per treatment. The results showed that compost\u2019s\u00a0 pH increased from 7.76 to 8.21, C\/N from 17.44 to 19.61 and calcium content from 1.31% to 1.6% with the increase in the concentration of ash, and the treatment (20%) of ash increased P and K contents in the compost (0.475% and 1.46%) respectively, while the addition of ash to the residues of tobacco caused a decrease in the content of the produced compost of nitrogen and magnesium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Tobacco residues, Compost, Ash, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, C\/N.<\/p>\n<p>Full Paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/v6n4p30.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mais Deeb(1) Ali Zidan(1)\u00a0 and Muhammad Manhal Al Zoubi*(2) (1).
