In 2017 and 2018 summer seasons, two field experiments were conducted at, EL-Qantara East, Ismailia Governorate, Egypt to study the addition effect of biochar and compost in increasing N-fertilizer efficiency for Sorghum bicolor grown on a sandy loam. Four N-fertilization rates of 0, 60, 120, 180 kg N ha-1 (i.e. N0, N60, N120 and N180 respectively) and three organic sources 2 biochars and compost (i.e. BA, BB and Co, respectively) each applied at 24 Mg ha-1.Highest yield was by BB+ N180. Highest chlorophyll, protein and protein yield contents (41.3 mg g-1 fw., 118 g kg-1 and 2053 kg ha-1, respectively were obtained due to CoN180. Available N, P, K, Fe, Mn and Zn increased due to added treatments and highest was by CoN180. Soil pH decreased due to organic amendments while EC slightly increased owing to biochar addition. Maximum N, P, K, Fe, Mn and Zn content and uptake by plants were by CoN180. Highest Nitrogen Use Efficiency, was by CoN120. The CoN180 had superior effect on improving soil properties and increasing sorghum traits.

Two field experiments were conducted at the Experimental farm of Sids Agriculture Research Station, ARC, Beni-Suef Governorate to investigate the possibility of reducing the recommended rate of mineral nitrogen (NRR) and phosphorus (PRR) fertilizers by using monoammonium phosphate (MAP) as 1% foliar spraying twice or biofertilizer and its effect on quality and quantity of cotton (Gossypium barbadense, Giza 95 variety). The results show that increasing nitrogen, phosphorus and added bio-fertilizer were significantly increased growth parameters, except first fruiting node, yield and yield components and seed index of cotton, while lint percentage decreased. On the other hand, earliness percentage was negatively responded to nitrogen levels and positively to phosphorus and bio-fertilizer. The studied treatments were not affected fiber properties. Combined 75% NRR+1% foliar spraying of MAP twice or using bio-fertilizer gave similar effect on quality and quantity of cotton, equal to that under 100 % NRR and100 %PRR, which means the possibility to save about 25 % from recommended rate of nitrogen and phosphorus by foliar spraying of phosphorus or bio-fertilizer.

The application of leaching requirements and soil amendments such as glauconite and gypsum are management practices for improving the productivity of salt affected soils. A field trial was conducted at El-Hamoul District, Kafr El Sheikh Governorate during two winter seasons (2016/017 and 2017/018) to investigate the effect of irrigation with leaching requirements (LR), ie. without (I1), 5% (I2) and 10 % (I3) and some soil amendments, ie. without (A1), gypsum (A2), glauconite (A3) and gypsum combined with glauconite (A4) on improving saline-sodic soils, sugar beet yield, water productivity and economic returns. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: Irrigation with LR. 10 % (I3) received the highest amount of irrigation water applied compared to other treatments in both seasons. The application of 10 % LR (I3) and gypsum and/or glauconite decreased soil salinity, sodicity, penetration resistance and bulk density but increased basic infiltration rate and total porosity of soil. Irrigation with 5% or 10 % LR with soil amendments increased sugar beet root, top and sugar yields in both seasons. The interaction between I3 and A4 achieved the highest root yield, top yield, sugar yield, irrigation water productivity (IWP), net return, net return from water unit and economic efficiency in both seasons. It could be concluded that the interaction between I3 and A4 resulted in enhancing saline-sodic soils productivity and recorded the highest values of net return and economic efficiency for sugar beet crop.

This study conducted to characterize copper adsorption behavior and determination sorption thermodynamic parameters in some calcareous soil from Sulaimani Governorate, Iraqi Kurdistan region. Copper adsorption studied in five calcareous soils includes (Sharazor, Qaradagh, Bazian, Mawat, and Surdash) varying in total calcium carbonate, organic matter and a cation exchange capacity of Sulaimani governorate in Iraqi - Kurdistan region. The adsorption isotherms of the Copper metal by the soil carried out using a batch method. One gram of each soil sample, in duplicate, was placed in plastic bottles and equilibrated with 50 ml of solution CaCl2 (0.01M), containing a series of Cu concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg Cu L-1) in the form of (CuSO4). The concentration of Cu determined in a solution using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The amount of Cu adsorbed by the sample determined by subtracting the equilibrium Cu concentration in the solution from the added Cu. The equilibrium isotherm data used to describe Cu adsorption in the five different soils using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm model. Freundlich model compared to the various models considered as the best model for describing copper adsorption at both temperatures (298 and 318oK) to describe the isotherm models in the studied soils depending on the highest value of the determination coefficient (R2), and the least value of root mean square error (RMSE), and Akaike information criterion (AIC).

Two field experiments were performed in Agricultural Farm of Sides Agricultural Research Station , ARC ,Beni-Suef Governorate , Egypt to investigate the effect of different levels of compost (0.0 , 4.8 and 9.5 Mg ha-1 ) and different nitrogen sources , i.e. , without ,ammonium ,sulphate (AS) , ammonium nitate (AN) and urea(U) on some soil chemical and physical properties after wheat harvested as well as wheat growth parameters ; yield and its components. The results show that all studied soil properties and nutrient availability were improved due to increasing compost level, except soil salinity, which increased by increasing compost. Also, increased compost level increased wheat growth, yields and its components as well as N, P and K content in grains and straw. N-fertilization did not affect soil properties and nutrient availability except soil reaction and soil available phosphorus. It could be arranged nitrogen sources on reducing soil pH and increasing soil available phosphorus in the descending order as follow : AS > AN > U . Irrespective of nitrogen sources, nitrogen application was significantly increased all studied growth parameters, yield and yield components and nutrients content, where as fertilizer surpassed other nitrogen forms followed by AN and U. The treatment of 9.5 Mg ha-1 compost +179 g Nha-1 consider the best treatment of wheat productivity and improved soil properties and fertility under the condition of alluvial soil for middle Egypt.

At Kalabsho Experimental Farm, Dakahlia Governorate, Sugar Crops Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, two experiments were done in the field throughout seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 to decide the effect of sources of organic fertilizers (farmyard manure "FYM", compost "CO" and poultry manure "PM") and its rates ( 0, 3, 5 and 7 t fed-1) on yields and its components and quality of sugar beet cv. Plino under newly reclaimed sandy soil conditions. A strip-plot design with 3 replications was used in these experiments. The obtained results showed that organic fertilizing of sugar beet plots with PM induced a gradual increment and produced in the utmost values of all studied yields and its components and quality parameters as contrasted with supplementary treatments within the two growing seasons. Application the utmost rate of organic fertilizers (7 t fed-1) formed the utmost values of yield and yield components and N, P and K contents in roots and foliage in mutually seasons. Although, the utmost values of sucrose and quality percentages resulted from using the organic fertilizers at 3 t fed-1 and the utmost values of sodium percentage were resulted as of control treatment in mutually seasons. Thus, it is suggested that fertilizing sugar beet fields with poultry manure (PM) at 7 t fed-1 would get the most out of sugar beet over the environmental circumstances of newly reclaimed sandy soils in Kalabsho distract, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt.
