“…Because of such intensification plans, the use of chemicals was exaggerated and soil degradation turns out to be a global problem (Babla et al, 2022). Probably recycling organic residues may lessen soil degradation (Bationo et al, 2007;El-Ramady et al, 2022) via substituting (partially or totally) chemical fertilizers (Wang et al, 2018;Sarhan and Bashandy, 2021) and, at the same time, increasing the organic carbon and nitrogen contents in soils (Maris et al, 2021).…”

Wheat is a strategic crop in Egypt. Its local consumption is increasing continuously accordingly; Egypt has become the largest wheat importer worldwide. The sustainable approach for increasing wheat productivity is probably through organic additives. For this reason, animal, chicken and plant residues were collected from an experimental farm for preparation of (1) plant residue compost (PRC) via composting a mixture of air-dried and chopped rice and soybean straw at a rate of 1:1 and (2) animal residue compost (ARC) via composting a mixture of chicken and cattle manure at a rate of 1:1. The main aim of this study is to compare between the implications of amending a clayey soil with animal versus plant residues for improving soil physical and chemical characteristics. Also, this study considers the changes in soil fertility owing to these additives, hence their outcomes on wheat growth and productivity. To achieve this goal, a field investigation was conducted following a split-split design in which the two types of composts were plotted in main plots while the rates of compost application (15 and 25 Mg per hectare) were plotted in subplots. Non-amended control plots were also included for data comparison. All plots were cultivated with wheat seeds in winter 2018 and received the recommended doses of NPK fertilizers to compare between the two types of composts as conditioners not as fertilizers. The experiment lasted for 160 days until maturity. All composts improved considerably soil physical (soil bulk density, total porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity and penetration resistance) and chemical (soil organic matter and CEC) characterises, especially with increasing their rate of application. In this concern, the results of the two types of composts were comparable. Also, these additives boosted grain and straw yields, yield components (spike length, spike weight, number of spikelets/ spike, 100-grain weight). Moreover, theyenriched soils with N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in available forms; hence raised their contents within wheat shoots and grains, with superiority for ARC versus PRC. There were significant positive correlations between shoot and grain yields in relation to the nutritional status of these plant parts. Accordingly, organic additives, especially animal residues, should be included in the coming sustainable approaches for increasing wheat production.

“…In Table , (3) and Table (4) growth and yield parameters improved significantly at 5% with biofertilizer treatments. Onion plant height, number of leaves /plant and fresh weight increased as mentioned by Sarhan and Bashandy, (2021). Azotobacter gave highest N, P, K and concentration in onion leaves and improved onion properties in terms of plant height (50.51cm), leaf number (12.5), bulb diameter (7.43 cm) and bulb weight (96.24 gm), Increase yfed ) and TSS (16.52%).…”

A field experiment was conducted during the two growing seasons (2019-2020), At Agricultural Experimental Station of the Desert Research Center at Khamisa Village (29.21º N and 25.40º E), Siwa Oasis, Matrouh Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of biofertilizers (Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus megatherium and Pseudomans fluorescence ) and foliar applications with copper, manganese, and iron at two concentrations of 0.2 and 0.4% (Cu, Mn, and Fe). The best results recorded with A. chroococcum combined with 0.4%iron for most parameters. The outcomes were as follows: Both biofertilizer inoculation and micronutrients foliar application gave a synergistic effect and enhanced the uptake of minerals and their metabolism in plants. The application significantly impacted the development, yield, and microbial community in the rhizosphere of inoculated plants. Compared to the control, the interaction treatments between biofertilizer inoculation and micronutrient foliar application had the most positive effects on onion plant growth indices, yield, and microbial activity in the rhizosphere.A.chroococcum increased plant height, leaves number, plant fresh and dry weight specifically with 4.0% iron, bulb diameter with Mn and Fe, yield ,total microbial count with Fe at 2.0 and 4.0% compared with B. megaterium, and Ps.fluorescence. Comparing with Ps.fluorescence and A.chroococcum, B.megaterium recorded the highest, bulb weight, bulb diameter with copper (Cu), total soluble solids (TSS), total microbial count with Cu and Mn, Bacillus count and phosphatase activity.

“…The current research paper aims to study the effect of different levels of water salinity on the germination of quinoa seeds and to verify the possibility of using organic manure to increase the resistance of quinoa to salt stress. One of the most important problems that reduce the ability of plants to grow when irrigated with saline water is the poor soil content of organic matter (Sarhan, 2021). Therefore, this study assumes that supplying arid degraded soils with organic fertilizers will increase the water salinity threshold limit of quinoa plants.The obtained results will be used to determine threshold value of water salinity in germination and vegetative growth stages.…”

As a result of the increased demand for food, the need to use lower quality water such as saline and waste water in agricultural production increased. The use of saline irrigation water is necessary to provide food for the expected population increases. Salt stress decreases plant growth and yield but negative effects of salt can be reduced by choosing tolerant plants and good agricultural management. Quinoa plants are among the food security plants and are in line with the sustainable development, and are distinguished by their content of unique amino acids and high protein content in their seeds. This study has been conducted to investigate the response of quinoa plant (Chenopodium quinoa Wild) irrigated with saline water to organic amendments. The study was conducted in pots and growth chamber to investigate the response of quinoa to water salinity at the germination and vegetative growth stages. The liner relationship was used to assess the threshold value of water salinity in germination and vegetative growth stages. The study evaluated the effects of eleven salinity levels of irrigation water (0.4, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, and 34 dsm − 1 ) and organic matter application (farmyard manure) at rats of 20 t ha − 1 . Quinoa seeds were able to resist the high levels of water salinity in the germination stage, however, the seed germination percentage shows that the increase in irrigation water salinity decreases the final germination percentage. The germination of seeds stopped completely at a salinity level of 26 dsm − 1 , while at a salinity level of 24 dsm − 1 only 50% of the seeds were germinated. Quinoa yield and its components were significantly affected by increasing the salinity level, on the other hand, the addition of organic manure mitigated the salt stress. Quinoa plants lost 50% of the relative yield at water salinity of 18 dsm − 1 when no organic amendment was added, while the addition of organic manure increased the threshold value of water salinity up to 34 dsm − 1 .Adding organic fertilizers to coarse soils increases the ability of quinoa plants to resist saline irrigation water and allows using lower quality water to irrigate these valuable plants. There are many coarse texture soils in arid and semi-arid areas, and improving the level of soil organic matter increases the use of brackish water to irrigate quinoa plants.
