Abstract :Effects of composted tobacco waste, chicken manure and bio-humus applied during a period of three years on a coarse textured soil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Typic Xerofluvent); at Agriculture Faculty’s Research and Practise Farmyard of Ege University located on Menemen plain insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Izmir, Turkey); on soil physical properties were studied. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design on 16 plots with four replications. Each plot size was 5x3 m 2 . Composted tobacco waste insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CTW); from cigarette industry and chicken manure insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CM); and bio-humus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BH); from plant residuals were applied at rates of 50 t ha -1 , 4 t ha -1 , 10 t ha -1 ,respectively. Inorganic fertilizers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N-P-K); are also added with chicken manure and bio-humus plots. Tobacco wastes obtained from cigarette industry were used after composting. The addition of organic wastes resulted in a significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p≤0.05); decrease in bulk density insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BD);; increase in porosity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PO);, field capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FC);, wilting point insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WP);, available water content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AWC); and structure stability index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SSI); of soil samples when compared to the control.
