“…Organic manures can be used as environmentfriendly sources of plant nutrients (Alshaal et al, 2019;Wakindiki et al, 2019) and improve soil fertility (Uddin et al, 2009). They can retain soil moisture at proper levels and cause up to 30% and increase WUE (Bassouny and Abbas, 2019).…”

Shortage of available water resources has become a critical problem facing vegetable production in Egypt. So, the aim of this study is to decrease the level of irrigation water: 85 and 70% of full irrigation requirements (FI), versus 100% FI in presence of four compost rates (0, 4.8, 9.6 and 14.4 m 3 ha -1 ). Results show that, deficit irrigation levels caused considerable reductions in many growth parameters and the total yield. But we can save 15% of the water used with an average total yield of 39.15 Mgha -1 and a yield shortage of 14.1% in both seasons. This is an acceptable level of decrease in view of the 36.3 Mgha -1 national average according to the 2017 Egypt's Agricultural Statistics. The application of compost at different rates increases the growth, quality and quantity of cauliflower at different water deficiency levels. The highest application rate of compost + 100% of FI recorded the highest values in the characteristics of vegetative growth, total yield and NPK content in curd. The treatment 85% of FI + 14.4 m 3 compost / ha came in the second rank recording significant differences with all other treatments in both seasons. The results also indicate that the water productivity in the case of 85% FI is significantly equal to the water productivity in case of 100% of FI in both seasons. It is; therefore, concluded that compost applications minimized the negative implications of deficient irrigation on cauliflower production.

“…Soil is also commonly referred to as earth or dirt. Recent trends in soil sciences have led to a proliferation of studies that confirmed the importance of soil for agroecosystems (e.g., Lizaga et al 2019;Ondrasek et al 2019), human health (e.g., Brevik et al , 2019 and sustainability (Pereira et al 2018;Meena et al 2019 Recently, a considerable literature has grown up around the theme of the soil as real treasure (e.g., Alshaal et al 2019;El-Ramady et al 2019). Many aspects of soil have long been of great interest in a wide range of agricultural fields including soil organic carbon, soil water storage capacity, and soil microorganisms.…”
