How one can came to know that after adding organic manures to a soil, it gets reclamated or soil health has been improved than the control?
You need to do soil sampling and analysis before and after adding the soil amendment.....

Dear R.Suya Padhra Haridha
You may end up with pH variations, effects over fertility properties, drainage capabilities, biota variations, nitrogen fixation changes, and so on.
Have in mind that follow up with specific chemical (extraction) and biological (plant house) analysis is the best way to evaluate the effects.
Every soil amendments happen with a desirable specific effect, such as increasing in micro and primary nutrients, eliminating undesirable biota, even decomposition of previous contaminants by corrections in a broad sense.
Any of them are feasible to be followed by physicochemical analysis before and after the addition. In the literature, you will find many procedures to evaluate the results of any intervention in the soil system.
Best regards,

Well Ms/Mrs Haridha, soil amendments are being done for different purposes like- to improve soil quality in terms of its structure and biochemical function by organics or inorganics, -to reduce the temperature, -to reduce the phytotoxicity etc., So, depending on the specific area one should carry-out different tests before and after the amendments as explained by W. D. N. Mussel sir. R. Joseph madam has shared you a review article on organic amendments. Hope it also gives you better information.
