Compost is the best overall soil amendment growers can use to increase the quality and health of soil. Good compost
provides soil with nutrients, organic matter, and beneficial microorganisms, which can improve crop health, growth, quality, and
yields. Compost also improves a soil’s structure and long-term nutrient availability, which helps plants better tolerate drought
and suppress disease. However, the time, space, and equipment needed to make and apply compost can make it prohibitive for
some farmers. Compost tea offers some of the benefits of compost in a more manageable package. For centuries, farmers have
soaked “tea bags” full of compost in tubs of water, and then used the resulting liquid (compost tea) to fertilize and improve the
health of their crops. This study was conducted to study the effect of compost tea application on the some soil characteristics to
periods of treatment compost is divided into three groups: compost tea, compost, control. Best treatment was obtained in compost
tea.
