Natural products are an alternative to the use of synthetic fertilizers. Nonetheless, their effect on microbial communities in arid soil is poorly known. To reveal the response of soil fungi, bacteria, and nematodes to organic amendments and beneficial microorganisms, plastic boxes were filled with a mixture of unsterilized agricultural soil and five bioproducts, such as Sargassum spp. dry matter, worm humus, worm humus leachate, Trichoderma harzianum, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; in addition, a treatment based on a synthetic fertilizer (T17), a fungicide/bactericide (copper), and water control were added. Each treatment was moistened with 1 L of sterile distilled water. At 0 and 30 days after the treatments, the variables of microbial population, relative abundance, and diversity of each type of microorganism were evaluated using the Shannon index. In most of the bioproducts, the microbial population decreased, but the diversity of species present increased, and although there were no significant differences between treatments, the treatments of humus and Sargassum spp. were recorded with the highest value in population and diversity. This study shows that not all bioproducts have a positive effect on the increase of microbiomes in the soil.
