A pot experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of Fertilizers Development Center, El-Delta Company for Fertilizers and Chemical Industries (ASMEDA) in Talkha, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt during the winter season of 2015/2016 to enhancement of phosphate fertilizer using different methods of application. In addition, determining the optimum methods of application of phosphorus fertilizers for growth, yield and yield components and the availability of nutrients for faba bean Giza 716 cultivar .The experiments was carried out in a factorial experiment in a complete randomized block design with three replications. The results show that the most efficient treatment was mixing single- superphosphate (6.34 P) with soil with soaking seeds in a saturated solution of single- superphosphate (6.34 P) MSM soaking [.These results may be due to the fact that delayed phosphate fertilization after the early growth stages tends to reduce plant uptake of phosphorus, which leads to low concentration of phosphorus in grains.

The reliability on the groundwater wells in Wadi El-Natrun Region was determined in order to help in agricultural development plans for adding a new water resources and new agricultural land. Whereas, the data about the construction of 6 groundwater wells in this region, were studied analysis to focus on 6 main indicators of well production and cost of water extracting. Those indicators include the study aquifer variables as well storativity (s), ground water properties, well efficiency, transmissivity of aquifer (T) wells variables as radius of influence (R) and the hydraulic conductivity (K). In addition the total cost of pumping 1m<sup>3</sup> water. Based on a surveying and collecting data, statistical and mathematical analyses were conducted for identifying these data. The gained results showed the follows; the values of total dissolved solids (T.D.S) are ranging from 451 to 1000 mg l<sup>-1</sup> and the pH are ranging from 6.70 to 8.22.Thus ,the extracted water found to be suitable for agricultural purposes and valid to irrigation directly without any treatments. When applying mathematical equation for groundwater flow and selection equation to calculate well variables and aquifer has to follow that equations for unconfined aquifer due to the presence surface layer of clay that leads aquifer at that region is unconfined. The average total costs of well-constructed at a depth of (200 m) and a diameter of (250mm) were estimated about 298310 LE. However, the cost of pumping 10<sup> 3</sup>m<sup> 3 </sup>water of the total amount water pumped by the well during the period of operation throughout his life were estimated about 28.91 L.E.

Improving the irrigation system, and in consequence the irrigation efficiency became an essential issue with the limitation of water resources, and defining the optimal strategy to improve the irrigation system depend on the accurate investigation of this system. The objective of this study is to investigate different components of the Egyptian irrigation system. A typical command area at the north of the Middle Delta (Mit Yazid command area) was selected to represent the Egyptian irrigation network, and MASSCOTE approach was used as an assessment tool. Mapping System and Services for Canal Operation Techniques (MASSCOTE), which was developed by FAO, is a pre-improvement evaluation approach. The approach provides a systematic way to evaluate any irrigation system, which gives a chance to compare this system with other irrigation systems. The approach consists of ten steps in two categories. The first category investigates the irrigation system, and the second category introduces the modernization suggestions based on the results of the first part. The current study applied the first category, which contained applying Rapid Appraisal Procedure (RAP), checking the capacity of the irrigation system, and assessing the sensitivity and perturbation at different control structures.The assessment defined the specific weakness of the irrigation system and it showed that irrigation performance decrease significantly at the lowest level of the system. The reasons for such decrease and the effect of Irrigation Improvement Project on improving the performance were discussed.
