Thepurpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the amendment with olive mill pomace from a 3-phase cold-pressed system on the characteristics fertility of the soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and organic matter (OM). The experiment was carried out using twoincreasing rates of olive mill pomace (50% and 100% w/w) plus the control untreated soil in microcosms under laboratory conditions. the results showed that the 50% of olive mill pomace was slightly reduced soil pH and slightly increased on soil (EC), while the 100% of olivemill pomace has a significant decrease on soil pH and a significant increase in soil (EC), Moreover, the amendment of the soil with olivemill pomace has significantly increasing soil organic matter. As a result, we can consider the olive mill pomace as a soil fertilizer.Pretreatment of olive mill pomace to reduce acidic pH and salt content before use as a soil amendment is also recommended.enArticle
