“…The decrease in K observed could be associated with acidic soils being inherently low in K or being removed during harvest without any replenishment ( Zörb et al., 2014 ). The decrease in Na levels with sole manure as a treatment agrees with ( Demir, 2020 ) that organic matter reduces salt levels in the soil by improving soil aggregation and water holding capacity. The decrease in Na with CAN+TSP can be associated with salts leaching to the nearby plot.…”

“…The VC has been shown to reduce salt toxicity and enhance the emergence rate and seedling growth of different plants [ 54 , 55 ]. The VC enhances soil organic matter in salt soils by decreasing electrical conductivity (EC), bulk density and increasing field capacity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and cation exchange capacity [ 56 ].…”

Natural and/or human-caused salinization of soils has become a growing problem in the world, and salinization endangers agro-ecosystems by causing salt stress in most cultivated plants, which has a direct effect on food quality and quantity. Several techniques, as well as numerous strategies, have been developed in recent years to help plants cope with the negative consequences of salt stress and mitigate the impacts of salt stress on agricultural plants. Some of them are not environmentally friendly. In this regard, it is crucial to develop long-term solutions that boost saline soil productivity while also protecting the ecosystem. Organic amendments, such as vermicompost (VC), vermiwash (VW), biochar (BC), bio-fertilizer (BF), and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are gaining attention in research. The organic amendment reduces salt stress and improves crops growth, development and yield. The literature shows that organic amendment enhances salinity tolerance and improves the growth and yield of plants by modifying ionic homeostasis, photosynthetic apparatus, antioxidant machineries, and reducing oxidative damages. However, the positive regulatory role of organic amendments in plants and their stress mitigation mechanisms is not reviewed adequately. Therefore, the present review discusses the recent reports of organic amendments in plants under salt stress and how stress is mitigated by organic amendments. The current assessment also analyzes the limitations of applying organic amendments and their future potential.

“…Vermicompost is reported to be a suitable soil amendment/conditioner because it improves porosity, drainage, aeration, and WHC [ 148 , 149 ]. Since vermicompost is rich in organic matter, the CEC of the soil was found to be enhanced [ 148 ], which enables more Na + –Ca 2+ exchange; as a result, much more Na + is leached into drainage water and soil salinity is reduced [ 156 ]. Several earlier research evidenced the beneficial properties of vermicompost on plant growth when used as PM amendments and the positive effect was attributed to either correlated with improved physical, chemical, and biological properties of PM after vermicompost amendments [ 157 – 159 ].…”

Graphical abstract Nursery cultivation is recognized globally as an intensive production system to support quality seedlings as well as to manage resources efficiently. Apart from other factors, potting media (PM) play a crucial role in determining the success of nursery cultivation. Worldwide, peat is the most commonly used substrate in PM because of its favorable physicochemical properties. However, due to ascending environmental and ecological concerns regarding the use of peat, a variety of new substrates have been used/tested by researchers/practitioners/growers as PM. Bark, coir pith, wood fiber, compost derived from various agro-residues, and vermicompost either alone or in combination are some of the commonly explored substrates and found to have the potential to replace peat to a greater extent. In lieu of availability, abundance, low cost, and no/low processing requirement, the use of agro-industrial residue (AIR) in the PM is the current trend. However, challenges associated with their adoption cannot be ignored. The present review is focused on providing collective information, scientific knowledge and detailed analysis of various AIR used in PM. The critical evidence-based review would help in developing a consistent approach for the identification, selection and characterization of a new renewable substrate. In addition, it would help in developing a rationale understanding of the practical and economic realities involved in the adoption of the same in PM.
