“…When such nutrients are limited, chlorophyll formation will be inhibited (Touchette, 2009). Similar to the results obtained in this study Kekere (2014); Pompeiano et al, (2014); Amareh et al, (2015) and Soody, (2015).…”

Two field experiments were located at the place of Abu Jerida of Faculty of Agric. Damietta Univ. during two seasons of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The research aims to test the effect of chemical fertilizer as microelements and salinity on two species of turfgrass (paspalum and seashore paspalum). 16 treatments were arranged in split block design with 3 replicates as follows: 4 levels of salinity (control, 1800, 3600 and 7200 ppm) as main plot and 4 sources of micronutrient in foliar way (without, Fe, Mn and Zn) as sub plot. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: fresh and dry weight g/plant, moisture%, chlorophyll content, Fe, Zn and Mn content as well as protein and carbohydrates content % decreased with increasing salinity levels. However, application of micro elements improved the previous traits by causing significant increases in the values with the corresponding controls. Foliar application of iron was the most effective one. Except protein was with zinc. As for, Paspalum, found that seashore paspalum recorded higher mean values of fresh weight than paspalum. Regarding to the interaction effect found that using iron as foliar application under low level of salinity recorded the highest mean values of parameters under study.

Similar results were also elicited by Trenholm and Unruh (2009) on Paspalum notatum, Rimia et al (2013) on bermudagrass and seashore paspalum, Pompeianoa et al (2014) on Cynodon dactylon × C. transvaalensis "Tifway", Zoysia japonica "Meyer" and Paspalum vaginatum "Salam". Now, our local market is full of several commercial fertilizers that supply the plants with various nutrients and compounds essential for increasing growth, production and quality.…”

“…This may be ascribed to lump benefits of the two used fertilizers in providing the sod plants with Ca that is necessary for strengthening cell membranes and regulating Na, Mg/Ca, K ratio, with minerals essential for healthy growth (Mengel and Kirkby, 1979), with auxins that activate vital processes and in turn increase vegetative and root growth (Kenneth, 1979), as well as with vitamins and amino acids which directly influence the physiological activities in plant growth and development (Datir et al, 2012). In this connection, Pompeianoa et al (2014) …”

“…Tomatoes are cultivated in a plastic mulched/drip irrigated production system. In all farms, drip irrigation for tomatoes has gained popularity because of water-use efficiency and because it allows for the application of fertilizers in irrigation water, leading to greater tomato yield and efficiency of fertilizer use than soil application methods [31][32][33]. During winter, a single daily irrigation suffices, whereas, as spring approaches, the number of daily irrigations is usually 4-5, only one of which also provides fertirrigation.…”

Economic Sustainability of Italian Greenhouse Cherry Tomato

Greenhouse tomato cultivation plays an important role in Sicily, being the primary production area in Italy, due to its favorable pedo-climatic conditions that permit extra-seasonal productions. In Sicily, more than half of greenhouse tomato production is derived from the Province of Ragusa on the southeastern coast, where especially cherry tomato typologies are cultivated. Over the last decade, the Ragusa Province has registered a decrease both in terms of greenhouse tomato area and harvested production due to several structural problems that would require restructuring of the tomato supply chain. Thus, since recognition of real costs and profitability of tomato growing is a vital issue, both from the perspective of the farm, as well as from that of the entrepreneur, the aim of this paper was to analyze the economic sustainability of Sicilian greenhouse cherry tomato cultivated in the Ragusa Province. In particular, an economic analysis on 30 representative farms was conducted in order to estimate production costs and profits of greenhouse cherry tomato. According to our results, the lack of commercial organization, which characterizes the small farms we surveyed, determines low contractual power for farmers and, consequently, low profitability.
