“…Soil degradation and desertification control have a great reputation for protecting ecological balance and agricultural development in desert regions (Niu et al, 2017). These lead to form a dense coating that obstructs the development of seeds and plants, especially in the presence of high salt levels (Zein El-Din et al, 2021).…”

Egypt government's strategy for horizontal expansion and overcoming difficulties in the agriculture sector, the salinity of irrigation water and soil are the major challenge factors. Moreover, salt concentrations cause the clustering of soil aggregates. As a result, this leads the soil to form a thin, surface layer that prevents the growth of seedlings and affects the soil's hydrological characteristics. However, researchers demonstrated that there is debate about the usage of magnetic water treatment. A magnetic device was used to treat saline water to answer these questions. This consideration was made to study the effect of magnetization on saline water, as well as to study the re-magnetization effect 'bypass' on saline water. Additionally, different levels of re-magnetization were applied up to five times, with saline water and standard water treatments as a reference. It was found that magnetization affects dynamic viscosity, dissolved oxygen and pH. Also found a positive effect of magnetization under transmission electron microscopy, and on the formation of fungi. On the other hand, magnetization does not affect electrical conductivity. Besides that, laboratory experiments on the stability of magnetization show that it lasts for 48 hours. For the germination and growth rates on maize and pumpkin, results were 85% for treated saline water instead of 48.86%, and 57.14% for saline water without treatment, i.e., the magnetization of saline water showed a significant effect. Lastly, there is no significant effect between the levels of re-magnetization of saline water. Therefore, it was recommended using the magnetic treatment once for saline water.

“…1 Document points out that to promote the transformation and upgrading of China's agricultural equipment industry and strengthen scientific research institutions and equipment manufacturing enterprises to jointly tackle key problems, the development of high-end agricultural machinery and equipment manufacturing is important. Agricultural highend equipment manufacturing (AHEM) enterprises should improve their ability to independently develop agricultural equipment to support high-end intelligence (Wu et al, 2021;Zein El-Din et al, 2021). The major agricultural modernization project and high-end equipment innovation project were proposed to provide an impetus for green innovation of AHEM enterprises (Wu et al, 2021).…”

Digital green innovation (DGI) is the core factor that affects the digitalization and decarbonization strategy of agricultural high-end equipment manufacturing (AHEM) system. Although AHEM enterprises actively cooperate with academic research institutes to develop agricultural high-end equipment, there are many obstacles in the process of DGI. Moreover, the integration of digital technology and green innovation from the perspective of partner matching for the AHEM system has not been fully introduced in current literature. Hence, this study aimed to (i) establish a suitable framework system for the AHEM system in general, (ii) quantify the selection of DGI by academic research institutions based on niche theory, and (iii) propose an extended niche field model combined with fuzzy VIKOR model. First, a theoretical framework consisting of three core elements of technology superposition, mutual benefit, and mutual trust, and technological complementarity was constructed based on niche intensity and niche overlap degree. DGI ability superposition of technology, mutual trust, and technical complementarity are beneficial for transferring DGI knowledge from academic research institutes to the AHEM industry. Second, triangle fuzzy number and prospect theory combined with the VIKOR method were introduced into the field theory to construct the complementary field model of DGI resources. The niche field model has been successfully applied to practical cases to illustrate how the model can be implemented to solve the problem of DGI partner selection. Third, the results of a case study show that the criteria framework and the niche field model can be applied to real-world partner selection for AHEM enterprises. This study not only puts forward the standard framework of niche fitness evaluation based on niche theory but also establishes the niche domain model of innovation partner selection management based on niche theory. The standard framework and novel niche field model can help enterprises to carry out digital green innovation in the development of high-end agricultural equipment. The study has the following theoretical and practical implications: (i) constructing a criteria framework based on niche theory; (ii) developing a novel niche field model for DGI partner selection of AHEM enterprises; and (iii) assisting AHEM enterprises to perform DGI practice.
