Three eco-friendly approaches were investigated for their effects onimproving K-uptake by zucchini plants; hence, increasing shoot growth and fruit productivity. These approaches were: (1) amending soil with biochar (0 and 5g kg -1 ), (2) spraying plants with Amphora extract (0 and 1g L -1 ) and (3) substituting inorganic-K fertilizers partially with organic ones. In this concern, five levels of compost (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 g kg -1 ) were applied to a poor fertile sandy soil (98.5% sand) in complementation with inorganic NPK-fertilizers to bring their concentrations, even in the control treatment, to the recommended levels. This investigation was conducted under the greenhouse conditions during the summer season of 2020. Results obtained herein reveal that application of either of biochar or Amphora extract exhibited positive effects on soil available-K (20 and 6.5% respectively), Kconcentrations in fruits and total K-uptake by the aboveground plant parts. Furthermore, these two amendments raised considerably the dry weights of both zucchini shoots and fruits. On the other hand, compost could partially substituteinorganic-K fertilizers when it was applied at a rate not exceeding 3gkg -1 ,recording significant improvements in all the investigated parameters. Nevertheless application of high compost doses reduced significantly fruit yield. Generally, there existed a highly significant linear relation between the total K-uptake by plants and fruit dry weights. Accordingly, treatments that improved considerably K-uptake by plants(the combination between foliar application of amphora extract + 5 g kg -1 biochar + 0-3 gkg -1 compost)recorded the highest improvements in productivity of zucchini plants.

“…Though, this soluble mineral N-source might be subjected to excessive losses in the investigated light textured soil (Shareef et al, 2020), but in presence of compost such loses might be limited (Bah et al, 2020). Moreover, this organic amendment is a source of soil nutrients (Abbas et al, 2011;Farid et al, 2014 andAbdelhafez et al, 2018;Elshony et al, 2019;Mosa et al, 2020;Abou Hussien et al, 2021); besides legumes solubilize insoluble soil phosphorus (Etemadi et al, 2019). This may explain why the combined "mineral+organic" nitrogen sources raised considerably NPK uptake by plants; consequently the combined treatments improved significantly the plant growth parameters and grain yield.…”

“…Most of newly reclaimed calcareous soils are mainly located in the Western Desert. Calcareous soils are those with high content of CaCO 3 , especially the active fraction with high specific surface area causing some physical problems that affect water use and crop production in these soils (Imas 2000;Abou Hussien et al 2019). Under such severe conditions, it is difficult to attain desired yield levels.…”

“…Under such severe conditions, it is difficult to attain desired yield levels. However, economic yields can be attained through adoption of proper soil management practices (Abou Hussien et al 2019). So, management of calcareous soil is essential to increase crop production and preserve the ecological environment in arid and semiarid regions (El-Zemrany et al 2016;Abou Hussien et al 2019;Ganzour et al 2020 andNada et al 2023) So, management of calcareous soils are very important for development of soil fertility and crop productivity.…”

HE AIM of the present study was to evaluate the effects of sandification and composted manure on some selected chemical properties; SOM, CaCO 3 , EC, Soluble Calcium and pH, as well as the pore size distribution of heavy clay calcareous soil. The experiment included four levels of sand addition and three levels of compost in a split plot design with three replicates. The experiment was carried out in an agricultural bilateral cycle that included wheat and maize crop cultivation in the winter and summer seasons, respectively. The results showed that sandification increased the sand fraction slightly and led to a slight decrease in the clay fraction at the end of the wheat season. This was more pronounced in the 1 st soil layer than in the 2 nd and the 3 rd subsurface layers. The residual effects of compost (after harvesting the maize crop) had no obvious effect on the soil particle size distribution. Increasing rates of sandification and compost additions led to a decrease in the soil content of CaCO 3 % compared to the initial soil, pH values, and soil salinity, while the SOM% and soluble Ca ions increased. The best results were obtained under the highest rates of sandification (S 15 ) and compost addition (C 2 ). It could be summarized that the role of both sandification and compost additions has affected CaCO 3 . This relation increases the release of calcium ions (Ca +2 ) to soil solutions, so that buffering the pH values declines towards neutrality. The relatively high salinity of compost affected positively the calcium carbonate solubility.
