Yield, nutrient uptake, and economic return of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in calcareous soil as affected by compost types

Compost application is a promising approach to improve soil fertility and the sustainability of plant production, but different types of compost may vary in their efficiency. A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of traditional compost, vermicompost, and material composted with a...
