Abstract

The authors are highly suggested to present the main results with quantitative increase/decrease in various parameters

Line 26 “previous mineralization tests for the amendments prior” is not clear

A clear conclusion is missing

Introduction and Discussion

This section must be updated with latest papers from 2020-2022, discussing the importance of using organic amendments. In addition, the role of composting in improving phosphorus may also be added. The following paper may be considered
