The clay soil of Bangladesh is typically low in soil organic carbon (SOC) and generally has poor soil aggregate stability (measured as mean weight diameter, MWD). The addition of organic amendments in the field has the potential to increase soil organic matter (SOM) and MWD. However, the influence o...
