- Application of Compost as an Organic Amendment for Enhancing Soil Quality and Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Growth: Agronomic and Ecotoxicological Evaluation (2025) · Agronomy · cited 47× · doi
The study identifies the challenge of soil infertility and degradation of soil organic matter due to over-reliance on chemical fertilizers. It highlights the need to reduce chemical fertilizer dependency and promote sustainable agriculture. The research also notes the challenge of maintaining acceptable levels of heavy metals in soil and plant samples.

One of the challenges is the degradation and reactivity of phenolic compounds in soil, which depend on their chemical structure and forms. Another challenge is the need to develop sustainable and innovative fertilization strategies that promote soil fertility and carbon sequestration. The study also faced the challenge of maintaining optimal plant growth and nutrient management in the pot experiment.

The effects of phenolic acid concentration and treatment time on soil nutrient availability and microbial community composition are not well understood. The mechanisms underlying the impact of phenolic acids on soil ecosystems are not fully elucidated. The study aims to address this knowledge gap by investigating the effects of phenolic acid treatment on soil ecosystems.
