Raw tobacco waste (T) and tobacco waste compost (TK) were applied at the rates of 20 and 40 t ha<sup>-1</sup> while nitrogen fertilizers were applied at the doses of 150 and 300 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup>. The parameters of microbial-C, N and P (Cmik, Nmik, Pmik), enzymes (alkalinephosphatase, ALKPA; β-glucosidase, GLU; arylsulfatase, ArSA; protease, PRO; urease, UA; dehydrogenase, DHG), microbial population (ammoniumoxidizer and nitriteoxidizing bacteria, AOB and NOB; general bacteria, GB; azotobacter, AZB; general fungus, GF) and chemical properties (soil reaction, pH; salinity, EC; organic matter, Corg; total nitrogen, Nt) were determined. Organics increased in Cmik, Nmik and Pmik. The effect of nitrogen on enzyme activities was not significant. T was the most encouraging treatment for communities except AZB which was stimulated by TK treatments more. T and TK increased in AOB by an average of 585% and 354%, respectively. Corg and Nt were increased by T. The highest unit yield was 192.6 and 192.3 t ha<sup>-1</sup> in N2T2 and N0T2, respectively. It can be seen that raw tobacco waste can be applied at a level of 40 t ha<sup>-1</sup> in irrigated crops growing, and 40 t ha<sup>-1</sup> dose of tobacco waste compost will be a better choice in crop cultivation which is more sensitive to salinity under the influence of the Mediterranean climate.</p>}, number={2}, journal={ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences}, author={Hüseyin Hüsnü KAYIKÇIOĞLU and Nur OKUR}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={319–345} }
