“…Furthermore, future changes in climatic events are expected to worsen [ 58 ], particularly in arid and semi-arid regions [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ]. As a consequence, soils have lost much of their fertility, threatening the food security of the world [ 58 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ]. Accordingly, to maintain sustainable agricultural development, virgin (unused) lands that can be cultivated with more organic and less chemical fertilization, are being, or should be, used to minimize pollutants to produce clean agricultural products free of pollution [ 71 ].…”

During the 2019 and 2020 seasons, nutrient-deficient virgin sandy soil was examined along with the investigation of the response of Phaseolus vulgaris plants to soil application with biocompost in integration with chemical fertilizers applied to soil and plants. Four treatments (100% of the recommended NPK fertilizer dose (control), 75% NPK applied to soil + 25% foliar spray, 75% NPK applied to soil + 25% foliar spray + leguminous compost (CL), and 75% NPK applied to soil + 25% foliar spray + CL containing Bacillus subtilis (biocompost; CLB)) were applied in a randomized complete block design. The 75% NPK applied to soil + 25% foliar spray + CLB was the best treatment, which exceeded other treatments in improving soil fertility and plant performance. It noticeably improved soil physicochemical properties, including available nutrients, activities of various soil enzymes (cellulase, invertase, urease, and catalase), soil cation exchange capacity, organic carbon content, and pH, as well as plant growth and productivity, and plant physiobiochemistry, including nutrients and water contents, and various antioxidant activities. The results of the 2020 season significantly outperformed those of the 2019 season, indicating the positive effects of biofertilizers as a strategy to combine soil supplementation with NPK fertilizers and allocate a portion of NPK fertilizers for foliar spraying of plants in nutrient-deficient sandy soils.

“…Field trail was conducted at Tamyia district, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt, 29.77N, 31.30E (Figure 1). The study area is characterized by a hot and dry climate in general with scanty rainfall drops that may occurs between December-April with annual average of 8 mm/ year, whereas the evaporation rates average ranging between 3.5 to 10 mm/day; the minimum and maximum air temperature values usually recorded in January and July, respectively [15].…”

The main objective of this work is to study the effect of sulphur application and irrigation water quantity on some soil properties of the calcareous soils and to limit the suitable concentration to obtain satisfactory yield of faba beab under saline conditions. The study area (Tamyia district, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt) is characterized by a hot and dry climate in general with annual rainfall average of 8 mm/year, whereas the evaporation rates average ranging between 3.5 to10 mm/day. Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was sown at 18 November 2010 and harvested at 26 April 2011. Total water consumed during faba bean growing season were 623.7 and747.2 m³/ fed for 100% and 120% irrigation treatments with increasing ranged between 3.5% and 3.7% in same sequence. Results showed that values of soil EC, pH and CaCO₃ was improved as a result of both irrigation and S treatments. The improvement resulted in a gradual reduction of the studied soil properties by about 10.3%, 3.2%; 17.0% and 23.1%, 4.3%; 11.3% comparing S treated plot relative to the control plot at 100 and 120% irrigation treatments. Application S improved water content under studied soil constant and these increases were 8.8%, 11.8%, 8.3% and 16.9% for SP, FC, WP and AW, respectively relative to the control plots. Irrigation 100% had a positive effect on the drainable pores% which increased by about 7.0% comparing with 120% irrigation treatments. While hydraulic conductivity increased by about 16.4% and percentage of increase drainable pores was 14.0% and 21.4% for 100% and 120% irrigation treatments comparing 3rd layer with the 1st one, respectively. Increasing irrigation water from 100% to 120% resulted increasing in the studied macronutrients, N, P and K, by about 80.8%, 144.9% and 72.9%, respectively; while they increased in plant by about 118.8%, 132.8% and 62.2% as compared with the control one, respectively as a result of S application. Results showed that Na, Cl and Na/K ratio that increasing irrigation water caused increase by 2.02%, 11.11% for Na and Cl, while reduction in the ratio between Na and K was observed with value –15.7% as compared 120 with 100% irrigation treatments. S application cause slightly increases in Na content (3.55%) and moderately increases with Cl (34.38%), which led to decrease Na:K ratio by about 39.4%. Increasing irrigation water ...

Sinnuris District is bounded by Lake Qarun (north), Fayoum District (south), Tamia District (east) and Ibshwai District (west). The geopedological physiographic units and its taxonomic units of the studied area could be summarized as follow: 1. Data of land evaluation revealed that, soils under consideration, mainly, suffering from texture, salinity and sodicity, can be recorded highly suitable class with regard to potential suitability by application more suitable irrigation systems, favorable managements and cultivation appropriate crops.More suitable crops follows the following descending order: Sorghum > barley > cotton > olive > wheat > alfalfa > maize.
