RESPONSE OF RICE PLANT GROWN ON NEWLY RECLAIMED SALINE SOIL TO A MIXTURE OF CHELATED FE, MN AND ZN APPLIED BY DIFFERENT METHOD AND RATES
Two field experiments were carried out on a newly reclaimed saline soil during two successive summer seasons (2007 and 2008) at Sahl El-Hossinia , El-Sharkia Governorate , Egypt .The aim is to test the response of rice to applied chelated Fe, Mn and Zn in the form of EDTA. Application comprised three different methods; coating, soaking and foliar spray.In the coating method application of each nutrient was at a rate of 0.1,0.2,0.3g/Kg grains. For soaking and foliar application, these elements were applied at 150,250,350 mg/Kg grains. Soaking was performed in 100L and lasted for 24 hours. However, these nutrients were sprayed at a rate of 200L/fed.The yield and its components as well as the content and the uptake of macro and micronutrients of rice grain (Oryza- Sativa) Cv. Giza 178 were appraised. Results revealed that applying micronutrients by soaking method was very effective on grain yield compared to the other applied treatments. The percentages increase ranged from 142.23 to 178.81, while in coating treatment they ranged from 85.8 to 117.42and in foliar treatments from 89.37 to 112.08 over control; as an average of both seasons. Elevating the rate of applied chelated compounds caused significant increases in the straw and grain yields, while 1000 grain weight was not significantly affected. The results disclosed that phosphorus content in straw and grain in response to the studied treatments gave a significant increase. Nonetheless, N and K contents showed no significant response. As for the concentrations of Fe, Mn and Zn in the straw there was a significant effect due to both methods and rates of application. But, for the grains they had significant effect in the case of Zn application only. The uptake of N, P, Fe and Zn in straw besides N, P, Mn and Zn in grains were significant increase by application of either methods or rates of the mixture chelated micronutrients. Data revealed that the increment response for the methods of application of micronutrients could be arranged as follows: soaking>coating>foliar. Soaking at the rate of 350mg/Kg-1 gave the best results for the yield of rice and its components .

THE RELATIONS BETWEEN TILLAGE SYSTEMS, SOME SOIL PHISICAL CONDITIONS, AND AVILABLE WATER
The plant requires optimum soil- air- water relationships from the time the seed is planted. Five different plowing and three field experiments were carried out in Gemiza, El-Gharbia government, (clayley soil) during three successive agricultural seasons of 2006/2007, 2007 and 2007/2008. In three seasons three crops were planted,
The study showed the decrease of percentages of soil particles after tillage comparing to the soil particles before tillage at 0-15 cm depth. The percentage of decrease was 5.13%, 4.08%, 1,25%,and 0.87%with (M-R),(2ch-w),( R ), and (ch-R)treatments, respectively. Available water was decreased with (M-R), and (2ch-w). the percentage of decrease 1.19%,and 1,1%, respectively at depth 0-15 cm .other treatments the percentage of available water was increased. The percentage of increased Was 0.2%, o, 41%, and 0.04% with (ch-R), (R), and no tillage, respectively.

EFFECT OF POLLUTED IRRIGATION WATER ON FABA BEAN VARIETIES, SOIL PROPERTIES AND THEIR CONTENTS OF HEAVY METALS
Two Lyzimeter experiments were conducted at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt, for two seasons, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. Lyzimeters (100 x 70 x 90 cm) were filled with clayey soil and irrigated with three water treatments since twenty years ago.
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of irrigation water quality for long-term on productivity of four Faba bean varieties (Sakha 2, Giza 461, Giza 3 and Giza 843). Three irrigation water qualities; Nile water (W1), polluted drainage water (W3) and mixed water; W2 ( 50% W1 + 50% W3) used for irrigation to study its effects on faba bean contents from four heavy metals Ni, Cd, Pb and Cu and some soil characteristics. A split–plot design with four replicates was used where, water treatments and varieties were allocated to main and sub-plots, respectively.
The obtained results showed that:
Using poor water quality for irrigation increased ECe, SAR, soluble cations and anions in soil paste extract and DTPA extractable heavy metals in soils (Cu, Ni, Cd and Pb) than that of mixed or good water quality.
Highly significant differences of yield and yield components between faba bean verities were found due to irrigation water treatments and its contents of heavy metals.
Content of the studied heavy metals were in the following order; roots > leaves > coat of seed >cover of pod > seeds.
The results showed that Sakha 2 was more tolerant variety to drainage and mixed water and its contents of Ni, Pb and Cu were lower than Giza 3, Giza 843 and Giza 461.
No significant differences were found between all studied faba bean varieties used for Cd content.
The content of seed faba bean varieties from heavy metals can be arranged as follow:
With Pb: Sakha 2 = Giza 3 < Giza 461 < Giza 843
With Cu: Sakha 2 < Giza 843 < Giza 3 < Giza 461
With Ni: Sakha 2 < Giza 3 < Giza 843 < Giza 461

EFFECTS OF SOME SOIL CONDITIONERS ON YIELD AND UPTAKE OF SOME MACRO- MICRONUTRIENTS BY MAIZE SUCCEEDED BY WHEAT PLANTS GROWN ON TWO NEWLY RECLAIMED SOILS IN EGYPT
A field experiment was conducted on a calcareous clay loamy and non calcareous sandy soils at Atfeh region, Giza Governorate to evaluate the effect of different organic materials, i.e., vinasse, (A1), farmyard manure FYM, (A2) town refuse compost (A3) and farm refuse compost (A4) applied at two rates of 5 and 10 ton fed.-1 just before maize planting on its shoots, grain and biological yields as well as uptake values of N, P, K, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn by its shoot and grains.Wheat was grown in the same plots without any further application of the aforementioned organic materials to study their residual effect on straw, grain and biological yields as well as, uptake values of the abovementioned nutrients by straw and grain of wheat plant. Results showed that application of the used organic manures to both the studied soils increased values of the shoot, grain and biological yield s of maize compared to the control treatment. Also, values of N, P, K, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn uptake by shoot and grain of maize plant increased as compared to the corresponding ones the control treatment. Also, increases in the uptake values. More pronounced at the higher rate of the applied organic materials. The highest values of the above mentioned parameters were achieved awing to vinasse (A1) application to the investigated soils. Similarly, values of shoots, grain and biological yields and total uptake of N, P, K, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn by straw and grain of wheat plant achieved higher values than the corresponding ones of the control treatment due to the residual effect of the previously applied soil conditioners (organic material). The results also showed that the increases were more pronounced due to the higher rate of these conditioners. The highest values of straw, grains and biological yields of wheat grown on both calcareous clay loamy and non calcareous sandy soils were recorded for treatments previously FYM. The findings imply that the highest values of N and P-uptake by wheat plant were obtained due to residual effect of FYM in both the calcareous clay loamy and non calcareous sandy soils. However, the highest values of K-uptake by wheat plant were obtained due to application of vinasse in both the calcareous clay loamy and non calcareous sandy soils. On the other hand, the residual effect of farm refuse compost and FYM recorded the highest values of Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn uptake by straw of wheat plants grown on both the studied soils. Contrary to that the residual effect of FYM and farm refuse compost recorded the highest values of Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn uptake by grain of wheat plant grown on both the studied soils, respectively.

EFFECT OF GYPSUM, HUMIC ACID AND ASCORBIC ACID ADDITION ON PROPERTIES AND PRODUCTIVITY OF PEANUT CROP UNDER SANDY SOIL CONDITIONS
Two field experiments were conducted in a private farm at EL-Ismailia Governorate in two successive summer seasons of 2006 – 2007 to study the effect of application of gypsum, humic acid and foliar ascorbic acid at rates of 250 and 500 ppm on some nutrients uptake and peanut productivity (Arachis hypogaea L cv. Giza 6). The gypsum was added to the soil at a rate of 500 kg fed-1 before sowing. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers were applied at the recommended doses. Humic acid was mixed thoroughly with water (2kg / 100 L of water). The mixture was applied at a rate of 5ml /L after 30 days from sowing and repeated two months later. Ascorbic acid was applied at rates of 250 and 500 ppm and sprays after 25 and 50 days after seed sowing and the spraying solution volume was 200 L fed-1.
Results showed that the application of gypsum + humic and ascorbic acid at rates of 250 and 500 ppm led to increase seed and straw yields. The values of seed yield were ranged from 540 to 1202 kg fed-1 , weight of pod , 817 to 1576 kg fed-1 , weight of 100-seed 62.15 to 74.47 and weight pods 130.31 to 231.29 g for those treated with gypsum +humic acid + ascorbic acid at rates of 250 and 500 ppm compared with control in both seasons. Seed oil (%) showed a significant difference for all the applied treatments compared with control (NPK recommendation). Macronutrients and micronutrients uptake in seed and straw increased with increasing ascorbic rates from 250 t0 500 ppm, particularly when combined with gypsum and humic.

EFFECT OF SLOW RELEASE NITROGEN FERTILIZERS ON PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY OF POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L.).
The present investigation was carried out at Baramoon Research Station, Mansoura, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt (+ 7m altitude, 30o 11- latitude and 28o 26- longitude), during Nili seasons of 2007/08 and 2008/09, to study the effect of slow release-N (urea formaldehyde "UF"; Sulfur coated urea "SCU", and compost) as compared with soluble-N (ammonium nitrate "AN") fertilizer on productivity, and quality of potato cv. Cara.The most important finding could be summarized as follows:
Compost 9 ton fed-1plus SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 led to significant increase in all vegetative growth parameters of potato plants (plant height, leaf area/plant and dry weight/plant) in both seasons.
Significant differences were detected in total tuber yield and yield components among various treatments in both seasons. Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1andSCU1 135 kg N fed-1had significant effect in this respect.
Application of Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 significantly increased tuber dry matter (in both season), starch and specific gravity of tuber (1st season, only) and significantly decreased nitrate and nitrite content of tuber (both season), in comparison with other treatments.
The NPK % of potato tubers in treatment amended with Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 was higher than with other treatments in two seasons. On the other hand, the greatest value of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) was obtained by the application of SCU1 followed by UF2.
The highest net return was obtained from potato receiving Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 in comparison with other treatments.
Generally, it could be concluded that, application of nitrogen fertilizer in the form of Compost at the rate of 9 ton fed-1+ SCU3 (67.5 kg N fed-1) in potato fields was the most effective treatment for satisfactory improvements in productivity and quality yields with keeping the health and safety of human and environment.
