Thesis Abstract

This project aims to investigate the effects of different soil amendments on plant nutrient availability. Soil amendments, such as organic matter, compost, and mineral fertilizers, are commonly used to improve soil fertility and enhance plant growth. However, the specific impacts of different amendments on nutrient availability and uptake by plants are not well understood. This study will involve conducting pot experiments with different soil amendments and analyzing the nutrient content in plant tissues. The research will focus on essential macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, and manganese). The findings will provide insights into the effectiveness of different soil amendments in enhancing plant nutrient availability and guide sustainable soil management practices.
