Examines the effects of green manure and mushroom residue on soil quality and pepper yield, indicating a beneficial organic amendment approach.

The research aims to explore the synergistic effects of green manure and mushroom residue on soil quality and the yield and quality of pepper crops.
Conducted a randomized block design with five treatments including control and varying levels of green manure and mushroom residue.
Assessed soil quality through measurement of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and carbon fractions.
Evaluated pepper yield and quality under different soil amendment treatments.
All treatment combinations significantly increased soil nutrients compared to the control, with the GMMR treatment showing the highest overall improvements.
Soil organic carbon storage increased markedly in the GMMR treatment, particularly in deeper soil layers.
Pepper yield increased significantly by 17.55% for GMMR and 12.52% for GMS, demonstrating increased productivity with these amendments.
