OIL science is an important discipline, in which all topics related to soil can be studied, including characterization, physical, chemical and biological attributes, genesis, morphology, its fertility and plant nutrition. Soil is the second lung for the humanity after the plant, where the universe cannot survive without both cultivated plants and soil. The forming of soil may need hundreds of years, so the conservation of soil is a global crucial issue. Thus, the monitoring and continuous analyses of soil are needed to solve any problem, promote its productivity, prevent any harmful agent on soil, and save it. Therefore, the Lab is the main place, in which we could carry out some experiments, diagnosis the soil, know the nutritional status, determine the suitability for cultivating different crops, the microbial, biochemical, physical, and biological characterization of soil. This editorial call for more concern about the soil through submission articles that discuss all topics related to the soil science and its security. In this editorial work the photos are the main component which will present the most important thing in nay Lab “the instruments”. The Lab and its facilities are necessary for the quality of any scientific research.

ay by Day, the human is searching about any alternative sources for his nutrition beside the main traditional sources. Edible mushrooms already have been consumed by the human several years ago due to their beneficial for human health. The list of edible mushrooms and their species include many different mushrooms like Pleurotus , Lentinula and others. The mushroom of shiitake ( Lentinula edodes L.) is considered the second important cultivated mushroom in the world, which is contributed by more than 25% from the global mushroom consumption. This mushroom has several promising properties, which support their applications in many fields including fresh and functional foods, bioethanol production, bio-control of plant diseases, bioindicator for soil and water pollution, medicinal attributes, and biotechnological application. Several studies have been published on this mushroom in different themes, but there are still many fields need investigations including the green or biosynthesis of nanoparticles using this mushroom beside the myco-nano-remediation of polluted environments.

UE to the rapid population growth, global food production should be increased to meet this global demand. Agriculture is considered the main dominant channel of food supply and any approach that support the crop productivity is urgent. These agro-practices may include using the high-yield varieties, improving rational irrigation and fertilization. It is noticed that, using of chemical or mineral fertilizers in agricultural production dramatically increased global food production. Several negative impacts have been recorded worldwide on the environment, which resulted from leaching of nutrients into groundwater, beside the low efficiency of applied fertilizers. Applying of nanofertilizers, is a promising approach, and an effective technology, which can increase sustainability and efficiency of agro-production of cultivated crops because of their nano-size properties, their high nutrient use efficiency, their slow release of nutrients, and thereby low required applied dose of fertilizer. Smart fertilizer means the control dose and time of applied fertilizers using the smart agro-technological and advanced tools such as global positioning systems, and remote sensing. These tools are able to maximize crop yield and minimize agro-chemical inputs by precise monitoring of the environment. Therefore, this work is a comparison between smart fertilizer and nanofertilizer, and to answer the main question: are the bio-nanofertilizers considered emerging precision agriculture strategy? This is also a call by Environment, Biodiversity and Soil Security (EBSS) for receiving articles on smart fertilizer, under many related topics such as different applications of smart fertilizers in smart agriculture, their challenges, their obstacles and the novel solutions in this concern.

his research aimed to evaluate some sugar beet varieties ( Beta vulgaris var. saccharifera , L.) to powdery mildew disease resistance. Eight sugar beet varieties namely 9K887 (Shantala)-KWS, Allanya-KWS, B8141 (BTS Smart 9175), Melodia, LP17B4011, FD18B4018, ST21801 (Mourad) and Zeppelin were planted under field condition during two seasons 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 at the Experimental Farm, Sakha Agriculture Research Station, Agriculture Research Center (ARC), Egypt. Growth and yield traits for foliage and roots were measured, economic traits; Total soluble solids (T.S.S. %) and sucrose content were estimated . Molecular differentiation was carried b y using six primers of inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Results of studied traits showed significant differences among studied varieties. The varieties of B8141, 9K887 (Shantala) and Allanya had good characters; low percentage of disease severity, high mean values of foliage, root traits and high sucrose content in contrast with Zepplin, St21801, Mourad and FD18B4018 varieties. Results of Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers detect that technique was effectively differentiative produce 39 bands. Twenty-three bands were polymorphic with an average 58.97% polymorphism percentage. Polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.545 to 0.885 with an average of 0.772. Resistant varieties; Melodia, B8141, Allanya-KWS and 9K887 Shantala-KWS were distinct by presence of polymorphic band (165bp) produced by HB-8 primer. While sensitive varieties; Zepplin, ST21801, FD18B4018and LP17B4011 were distinct by the presence of two polymorphic bands; (175 and 945bp) produced by 89B primer. The highest value of similarity 0.97 was found between ST21801 and Zepplin. While the lowest value 0.66 was found between B8141 and FD18B4018 varieties. So, Cluster analysis classified the studied varieties into four clusters. There was great harmony between growth and DNA results.

he study conducted at private farm in reclaimed sandy soils in the western district of, El- Minia Governorate, Egypt during winter of two successive seasons of 2020/2021, 2021/2022. To investigate the influences of different irrigation regimes, bio-stimulants and their interaction on lettuce growth, yield and chemical composition, A split-plot design was used, the main plot was irrigation treatments (100% of crop evapotranspiration, 80% ETc and 60% ETc), while the bio-stimulants (control, potassium humate (K-H), biofertilizers (EM) and mixture from K-H plus EM) were assigned in sub-plot. The results showed that in most aspects there was a significant affect between 100% or 80% ETc compared to 60% ETc but insignificant between 100% ETc and 80% ETc in both seasons. Moreover, soil application of the biostimulants reduced the negative impact of water deficit compared to control. Combined K-H and EM caused significant increase in all estimated parameters for plant growth and yield. In addition, increase mineral contents, protein and carbohydrate contents in lettuce leaves. In opposite, it causing significant decrease by (23.20, .18.38 and 18.18, 14.33%) for nitrate and proline through both seasons respectively, compared with control. Furthermore, the highest irrigation water use efficiency was recorded with decreasing the required amount of water (60% ETc). Integration both bio-stimulants caused significant increase in irrigation water use efficiency by 58.60 %in the first season and were 59.14% in the second season. Available N, P and K in soil significantly increase with application of mixture of bio-stimulants followed by sole application of K-H.

ATER is the main limiting factor of our life and any human activity. In all our life activities and water has a vital role in these previous sectors. This reflects the importance of water especially under many global challenges (mainly climate changes, global explosion of population, soil degradation, desertification and hunger). The using of water in irrigation is a very common practice in agriculture because no agriculture without water. The management of irrigation water has become one of the urgent needs nowadays under the terrible progress of bioinformatic technology. The smart irrigation is considered one of the most common applications in smart or precision agriculture. The main components of smart irrigation system may include soil, weather and plant sensors such as soil moisture sensor controllers, evapotranspiration controllers, and rain sensors. This work is an attempt to answer one question about smart irrigation whether it is an important strategy to overcome the global water crisis or not. This is also a call by Environment, Biodiversity and Soil Security (EBSS) for receiving articles on smart irrigation, different applications of smart irrigation in smart agriculture, their challenges, their obstacles and the novel solutions in this concern. This topic has several open questions needs to be answered. The use of the Internet of Things is one of the important solutions for smart monitoring and control of the irrigation process.

ECOGNITION of the links between soil and human health goes back thousands of years, when ancient people recognized the value of soil and its potential for human life. As a dynamic, complex, and open system soil consists of flora and fauna (microbes and others), water, air, and mineral and organic particles. These components of soil may cause negative (diseases, nutrient imbalances) and/or positive (supply of antibiotics, bioactives, secondary metabolites, or essential nutrients) impacts on human health. Soil microbes are a crucial component of the soil system that can cause human diseases or be used in the production of antibiotics and other drugs. There is still great need to study the soil microbial community, as new soil microbes are regularly discovered along with new compounds that are beneficial to human health, such as drugs, bioactives, and secondary metabolites. This mini-review discuses the potential of soil microbes, including their positive and negative influences within the soil-human health nexus. This work is unique in that it mainly depends on diagrammatic presentations, which can explain the target meaning in a very simple manner.

As a dynamic, complex, and open system soil consists of flora and fauna (microbes and others), water, air, and mineral and organic particles. These components of soil may cause negative (diseases, nutrient imbalances) and/or positive (supply of antibiotics, bioactives, secondary metabolites, or essential nutrients) impacts on human health. Soil microbes are a crucial component of the soil system that can cause human diseases or be used in the production of antibiotics and other drugs. There is still great need to study the soil microbial community, as new soil microbes are regularly discovered along with new compounds that are beneficial to human health, such as drugs, bioactives, and secondary metabolites.

HE DEGRADATION of soil characteristics caused by salinity and sodicity gives rise to severe limitations on crop production. Therefore, the current study was conducted in a split block design with three replicates during the winter (2019/2020) and summer (2020) seasons at Sakha Agriculture Research Station Farm, Kafr El-Sheikh Gov., Egypt to study the integrated effect of gypsum with mycorrhizae fungi inoculation to improve saline-sodic soil properties and bacterial communities, physiological and productivity of wheat and maize plants. The treatments included different soil gypsum levels (G 0 : none, G 1 : 7.5 Mg ha -1 , and G 2 : 10 Mg ha -1 ) of the requirements and mycorrhizal fungi inoculation (without inoculation AMF 0 and inoculated AMF 1 ). The results showed that the combination of G 2 + AMF 1 caused significant changes in the photosynthetic activity, antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase), mycorrhizal root colonization, total bacterial counts, P solubilizer bacteria, and respiration of microbial soil in the Rhizosphere of wheat and maize. In addition, after two growing seasons, electrical conductivity (EC) decreased from 7.09 to 4.57 dS m -1 , exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) from 19.35 to 15.47 and soil bulk density (BD) from 1.38 to 1.31 Mg m -3 . While the exchangeable calcium percentage (ECaP) increased from 11.51 to 15.47, available phosphorus (Av. P) from 8.19 to 11.17 mg kg -1 , infiltration rate (IR) from 0.7 to 0.97 cm hr -1 , and total porosity (TP) from 47.92 to 50.44 % and G 2 + AMF 1 treatment gave the highest grain yield of wheat and maize were 7.72 and 8.52 Mg ha -1 , respectively. Current findings concluded that the incorporation of gypsum application with AMF inoculation could be applied as an effective way of ameliorating saline-sodic soil characteristics and alleviating the hazardous effects of soil salinity and sodicity on wheat and maize plants.
盐碱度和碱度引起的土壤特性退化严重限制了作物生产。因此，本研究在埃及Kafr El-Sheikh Gov的Sakha农业研究站农场进行了冬季(2019/2020)和夏季(2020)三个重复的分割块设计，研究石膏与菌根真菌接种对改善小麦和玉米盐碱地性质和细菌群落、生理和生产力的综合效应。不同土壤石膏需用量(g0:无、g1: 7.5 Mg ha -1和g2: 10 Mg ha -1)处理和菌根真菌接种(未接种AMF 0和接种AMF 1)处理。结果表明，g2 + amf1对小麦和玉米根际微生物土壤的光合活性、抗氧化酶(过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶和超氧化物歧化酶)活性、菌根定植、细菌总数、P增溶菌数和呼吸作用均有显著影响。2个生长季后，土壤电导率(EC)由7.09降至4.57 dS m -1，交换钠率(ESP)由19.35降至15.47，土壤容重(BD)由1.38降至1.31 Mg m -3。交换钙率(ECaP)从11.51提高到15.47，有效磷(Av. P)从8.19提高到11.17 mg kg -1，入渗速率(IR)从0.7提高到0.97 cm hr -1，总孔隙率(TP)从47.92提高到50.44%，g2 + amf1处理的小麦和玉米产量最高，分别为7.72和8.52 mg ha -1。综上所述，施用石膏与接种AMF可作为改善土壤盐碱化特性和减轻土壤盐碱化对小麦和玉米植株危害的有效途径。
