Agronomic approaches for increasing food crop yield and quality are crucial for boosting food security due to the depletion of terrestrial resources and the rising worldwide demand for food. As a consequence, the current study looks at ways to improve several essential components of existing onion production technique in Egypt by using two types of potassium fertilizer, KCl and K2SO4, either alone or in combination, as well as two different planting methods, seeding and seedling transplantation. The research focused on the performance of onion cv. Giza 9 through vegetative growth, bulbification (bulbing ratio), dry bulb yield and bulb quality during the successive winter seasons of 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. The obtained results demonstrated that direct seeding of onion produced higher plant growth, bulb yield, and quality than seedling transplantation. Compared to potassium combinations involving chloride, potassium fertilization of onion in the form of K2SO4 produced the best plant growth, bulb production, and their quality. As chloride levels in fertilizer compounds rise, onion plant growth and yield potential decline. On the other hand, chloride had a less negative impact when onion was grown from seeds rather than seedlings. Also, direct seed sowing and fertilization interactions with either pure K2SO4 or a mixture of 75% K2SO4 and 25% KCl resulted in the highest dry bulb yield measurements. Interestingly, supplying the onion plants with KCl fertilizer up to 25% of their potassium requirements without causing a significant decline in plant growth or bulb yield when planting onions by direct seeds but not to seedlings.
This research was conducted to produce beverages with health benefits from permeate as a by-product fortified with extracts of grains such as black rice, oats and barley at different concentrations and fermented with Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus. helveticus separately and comparing the suitability of these concentrates for production with examining the physical, chemical, microbiological, sensory and antioxidant properties during the storage period for 3 weeks at 4°C. It was observed that the level of antioxidants increased with the increase in the concentration of the extracts, and the concentration of antioxidants was higher in the fermented beverages fortified with black rice. It decreased during the storage period for all treatments. It was also noted that the counts of L. casei increased in all treatments and during the storage period compared to the counts of L. helveticus. The results showed that it was possible to produce fermented beverages from cereal extracts with texture, flavour, colour, and appearance from L. helveticus fermentation that has a high degree of preservation stability.
Objective
The Aim of the study is to compare between transverse and longitudinal uterine incision in abdominal myomectomy regarding intraoperative blood loss Design: A randomized Controlled interventional study.
Setting
Ain Shams Maternity teaching hospital.
Patients and methods
52 patients undergoing abdominal myomectomy for single myoma were involved The patients were randomized into two groups that showed no significant difference in demographic data, characters of myoma or indication of surgery
Results
Our results proved that there was no significant difference between both incisions regarding intra-operative blood loss, need for blood transfusion, post-operative Hgb drop, operative time or incidence of postoperative fever.
Conclusion
Transverse uterine incision for myomectomy does not cause more blood loss than longitudinal incision. There is no difference between both incisions in operative time or postoperative complications Trial identifier: NCT03009812, MY-789
R ECENTLY, the importance of the beneficial elements for humans, animals, and plants has been clarified. Element fortification in plants is an excellent strategy for suppling elements through the food chain. The beneficial elements could promote growth in plants which comprise selenium, silicon, cobalt, and sodium. Nowadays, evaluating the impact of beneficial elements such as selenium and silicon on the growth and productivity of various plant species has become a novel approach. Therefore, field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar application of selenium in form of sodium selenite at levels of 10, 20 and 30 μmol, and silicon in form of sodium silicate at levels of 0.5, 1 and 2 mM plus water served as control treatment on vegetative growth, SPAD reading, mineral contents in leaves and seeds, and seed yield and quality of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants cv. Nebraska during 2020 and 2021 seasons at the Experimental Farm of Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture,
