“…Supplying of crop plants in appropriate quantities and forms of nutrients certainly promotes growth and development both under favorable and unfavorable conditions (Saudy et al 2018(Saudy et al , 2020bEl-Metwally and Saudy 2021b;Saudy et al 2021b). The current study proved that potassium silicate alleviated, partially at least, the hazards of drought with enhancing yield traits (Tables 1 and 2), nutrients uptake (Tables 3 and 4) and water use efficiency (Fig.…”

In calcareous soil, two field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of two potassium silicate treatments (with and without) and three irrigation levels (100, 80 and 60%, of crop evapotranspiration, abbreviated as IW100, IW80 and IW60, respectively) on wheat yield and nutrient uptake and water use efficiency (WUE). The experimental design was a strip plots design in randomized complete block arrangement with three replicates. Findings reveal that potassium silicate improved grain weight spike−1 by about 1.06 times whether with IW80 or IW60. Also, seed index increased by 1.03, 1.06 and 1.04 times owing to potassium silicate in the 1st season under IW100, IW80 and IW60 treatments, respectively. Application of potassium silicate surpassed the control treatment by about 1.05, 1.4 and 1.07 times for biological straw and grain yields under IW80. The interaction of IW80 × potassium silicate significantly equaled IW100 × potassium silicate for P, S Mg and Mn uptake in both seasons as well as N, K and Zn uptake in the 1st season and Fe uptake in the 2nd season. IW80 or IW60 with potassium silicate application were the efficient combinations for improving WUE in both growing seasons.

“…Verma et al [2017] attained a cabbage yield increase owing to black film mulch by 22.4%, which correlates to our results, stating that it was due to improved soil conditions and more intensive utilization of nutrients, primarily N. Significantly higher yield due to black polyethylene film was reported on Chinese cabbage by Easmin et al [2009] and on lettuce by Siwek et al [2007]. Statistically significant increase in cabbage head weight due to black polyethylene mulch is in agreement with Sarker et al [2003] and Trdan et al [2008] and could be the advantageous outcome of the mulch preserving moisture and water, reducing nutrient uptake by weed and suppressing weed, increasing nutrient use efficiency and yield potential [Uwituze et al 2017, Saudy et al 2021].…”

A three-year field trial was conducted to determine the effects of mulching with black polyethylene film and fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers in mid-early cabbage production. The two-factor trial was set up as a split-plot design. The main plots included unmulched and mulched treatments. The sub-plots consisted of unfertilized control and five fertilized treatments. In the first and third trial years, total cabbage yield, total head yield, and average head weight were significantly higher on black polyethylene film plots than on unmulched plots. However, in the second year, the mean air temperature during cabbage growing exceeded the long-term average, and values of the examined parameters did not differ significantly between the mulched and unmulched treatments. In all three years, amounts of removed nutrients were significantly higher in treatment with composted pig manure + mineral fertilizer. Mulching significantly increased fertilizer use efficiency in the first and third years, while the second year saw better results on unmulched plots.

“…Also, nutrient availability and utilization by crop plants were enhanced with hoeing treatment (Saudy et al 2020). However, despite hoeing still being a conventional weed control in row crops, manual labor has become scarce and expensive (Saudy et al 2021a). DELP herbicide caused reductions of 90.2, 88.9, and 89.7% (averages of the two seasons) in dry weight of broad leaf, grass, and total weeds, respectively.…”

To reduce the use of herbicides in agriculture, there is an urgent need to look for cost-effective and environmentally friendly non-chemical methods to control weeds in field crops. Plant by-products could be exploited directly as plant residues or indirectly as plant extracts for weed control. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of several plant wastes and extracts in controlling weeds of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) with enhancing yield and quality. Three weed control groups of twelve practices were examined. The first weed control group included three aqueous extract concentrations (15, 20, and 25%) of Plectranthus amboinicus L. The second weed control group involved six soil mulching plant materials [rice (Oryza sativa L.) straw, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) hay, peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) straw, mango (Mangifera indica L.) leaves, flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) meal, and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) meal], while the third group comprised of desmedipham/ethofumesate/lenacil/phenmedipham (DELP) herbicide 1.5 L ha −1 [desmedipham 70.5 g active ingredient (ai) ha −1 + ethomesufate 112.5 g ai ha −1 + lenacil 40.5 g ai ha −1 + phenmedipham 90 g ai ha −1 ], hoeing, and unweeded check. During a 2-year field trial (2019/20 and 2020/21), the 12 weed control treatments arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and replicated three times. Compared to the recommended applications (hoeing and herbicide), reduction averages of both seasons for total weeds biomass were 46.3-54.2%, 37.3-46.4%, and 23.0-34.4% due to rice straw, wheat hay, and mango leaves, respectively. Root and sugar yields of sugar beet divulged the highest values with hoeing in both seasons statistically equaling (P ≥ 0.05) rice straw and wheat hay for root yield and wheat hay for sugar yield in the first season. Except flax meal, all weeded treatments in the first season as well as mango leaves, wheat hay, peanut straw, and hoeing in the second one caused significant (P ≤ 0.05) reductions in sodium content of beet juice. Wheat hay, mango leaves, and hoeing in both seasons, in addition to rice straw, peanut straw, and herbicide in the first season, were the most efficient practices for improving sucrose % and extractable sugar %. Compared to hoeing, reductions in net return were -286.7 and -320.0 ($ ha −1 ) by percentage of 6.5 and 7.2, due to mulching soil by rice straw and wheat hay, respectively. Recycling the plant by-products such as wheat hay, rice straw, peanut straw, or mango leaves in the form of soil mulch could serve as safe and eco-friendly tools in weed control programs of sugar beet. The beneficial effect of mulching extended to enhance root and sugar yields with low impurities. Since the plant wastes are available in the farm, better revenues will be gained for sugar beet growers. Further investigations related to the use of plant extracts as natural herbicide should be performed to reach acceptable levels for weed control.
