This study investigates the impact of compost and Bacillus-based biopreparations on soil acidity changes at different depths under the arid conditions of the Al-Asharra region in the Syrian Arab Republic. The experiment included four treatment options: control, compost, biopreparation, and their combination. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of these agricultural practices in reducing soil acidity, which is crucial for improving the growth conditions of crops in arid regions. Results showed that the greatest reduction in soil acidity was observed with the combined application of compost and biopreparations, confirmed by the data from the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Additionally, the calculation of the least significant difference (LSD) demonstrated statistically significant differences between the various methods of applying the plant-based soil ameliorant and the microbiological catalyst. The data indicate a significant synergistic effect from the combined use of compost and biopreparations. These results can be used to develop recommendations for improving agricultural practices and enhancing the productivity of crops in arid climates, which is particularly relevant for regions with similar environmental conditions.
