Abstract: Two field experiments were conducted during two successive summer seasons 2012 and 2013 on a clay soil at El-Serw Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural Research Center, Egypt . The experiments were carried out in a randomized Complete Blocks Design with three replicates to study effect of different types and rates of organic fertilizers which can be applied to improve some properties of salt affected soils and its productivity of mazie, i.e. Poultry manure, compost and farmyard manure at the rate of (0-24-48 Mg ha-1). At three different location in salinity levels. The results showed that the chemical and physical properties of the studied soil were clearly improved due to organic fertilizers addition. The common parameters of salt affected soils i.e. increased hydraulic conductivity (Ks), organic matter (O.M.) and grain yield. On the contrary, bulk density, Penetration resistance (P.R.), pH, EC and ESP values were decreased. The superior improvement of these parameters was resulted from T6, T5 and T4. The amendments can be arranged, ascending as folloes:T0
