Organic amendment based on vermicompost and compost: differences on soil properties and maize yield
The objective of the present study was to study the effect of two vermicomposts [animal (VCD) and vegetal origin (VGF)] and a cotton gin compost (C) at rates of 1780 and 3560 kg fresh organic matter ha −1 for 3 years on an Typic Xerofluvent located near Seville (Spain) on soil biological properties,...
