W heat is a strategic crop in Egypt . Its local consumption is increasing continuously accordingly; Egypt has become the largest wheat importer worldwide. The sustainable approach for increasing wheat productivity is probably through organic additives. For this reason, animal, chicken and plant residues were collected from an experimental farm for preparation of (1 ) plant residue compost (PRC) via composting a mixture of air-dried and chopped rice and soybean straw at a rate of 1:1 and (2) animal residue compost (ARC) via composting a mixture of chicken and cattle manure at a rate of 1:1. The main aim of this study is to compare between the implications of amending a clayey soil with animal versus plant residues for improving soil physical and chemical characteristics. Also, this study considers the changes in soil fertility owing to these additives, hence their outcomes on wheat growth and productivity. To achieve this goal, a field investigation was conducted following a split-split design in which the two types of composts were plotted in main plots while the rates of compost application (15 and 25 Mg per hectare) were plotted in subplots. Non-amended control plots were also included for data comparison. All plots were cultivated with wheat seeds in winter 2018 and received the recommended doses of NPK fertilizers to compare between the two types of composts as conditioners not as fertilizers. The experiment lasted for 160 days until maturity. All composts improved considerably soil physical (soil bulk density, total porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity and penetration resistance) and chemical (soil organic matter and CEC) characterises, especially with increasing their rate of application. In this concern, the results of the two types of composts were comparable. Also, these additives boosted grain and straw yields, yield components (spike length, spike weight, number of spikelets/ spike, 100-grain weight). Moreover, theyenriched soils with N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in available forms; hence raised their contents within wheat shoots and grains, with superiority for ARC versus PRC. There were significant positive correlations between shoot and grain yields in relation to the nutritional status of these plant parts. Accordingly, organic additives, especially animal residues, should be included in the coming sustainable approaches for increasing wheat production.

As a result of the increased demand for food, the need to use lower quality water such as saline and waste water in agricultural production increased. The use of saline irrigation water is necessary to provide food for the expected population increases. Salt stress decreases plant growth and yield but negative effects of salt can be reduced by choosing tolerant plants and good agricultural management. Quinoa plants are among the food security plants and are in line with the sustainable development, and are distinguished by their content of unique amino acids and high protein content in their seeds. This study has been conducted to investigate the response of quinoa plant ( Chenopodium quinoa Wild) irrigated with saline water to organic amendments. The study was conducted in pots and growth chamber to investigate the response of quinoa to water salinity at the germination and vegetative growth stages. The liner relationship was used to assess the threshold value of water salinity in germination and vegetative growth stages. The study evaluated the effects of eleven salinity levels of irrigation water (0.4, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, and 34 dsm − 1 ) and organic matter application (farmyard manure) at rats of 20 t ha − 1 . Quinoa seeds were able to resist the high levels of water salinity in the germination stage, however, the seed germination percentage shows that the increase in irrigation water salinity decreases the final germination percentage. The germination of seeds stopped completely at a salinity level of 26 dsm − 1 , while at a salinity level of 24 dsm − 1 only 50% of the seeds were germinated. Quinoa yield and its components were significantly affected by increasing the salinity level, on the other hand, the addition of organic manure mitigated the salt stress. Quinoa plants lost 50% of the relative yield at water salinity of 18 dsm − 1 when no organic amendment was added, while the addition of organic manure increased the threshold value of water salinity up to 34 dsm − 1 .Adding organic fertilizers to coarse soils increases the ability of quinoa plants to resist saline irrigation water and allows using lower quality water to irrigate these valuable plants. There are many coarse texture soils in arid and semi-arid areas, and improving the level of soil organic matter increases the use of brackish water to irrigate quinoa plants.
由于对粮食的需求增加，在农业生产中需要使用低质量的水，如盐水和废水。使用含盐灌溉水是必要的，以便为预期的人口增长提供食物。盐胁迫降低了植物的生长和产量，但通过选择耐盐植物和良好的农业管理可以减少盐的负面影响。藜麦植物是符合可持续发展的粮食安全植物之一，其种子中含有独特的氨基酸和高蛋白质含量。本试验研究了藜麦植物(Chenopodium quinoa Wild)在盐水灌溉下对有机改进剂的反应。通过盆栽和生长箱试验，研究了藜麦萌发期和营养生长期对水分盐度的响应。采用线性关系对发芽期和营养生长期的水盐度阈值进行了评价。本研究评估了11种盐度水平的灌溉水(0.4、2、4、8、12、16、20、24、26、30和34 dsm−1)和施用有机肥(农家肥)对20 t ha−1大鼠的影响。藜麦种子在萌发阶段能够抵抗高盐度的水，但种子发芽率表明，灌溉水盐度的增加降低了种子的最终发芽率。盐度为26 dsm−1时，种子的萌发完全停止，而盐度为24 dsm−1时，只有50%的种子萌发。增加盐胁迫对藜麦产量及其组成有显著影响，另一方面有机肥的添加减轻了盐胁迫。在不添加有机改进剂的情况下，当水盐度为18 dsm−1时，藜麦植物的相对产量损失了50%，而添加有机肥使水盐度阈值提高到34 dsm−1。在粗糙的土壤中添加有机肥增加了藜麦植物抵抗盐水灌溉的能力，并允许使用低质量的水来灌溉这些有价值的植物。干旱半干旱地区土壤质地粗糙，提高土壤有机质水平可增加微咸水灌溉藜麦作物的用量。

The world of mushrooms is very exciting and full of with surprises for the reader. Mushrooms are very important macro-organisms for our agroecosystem, because they are edible and medicinal for human health, on one side, and toxic causing the death of humans, on the other side. Several nutritional, medicinal and pharmaceutical applications of mushrooms are well known besides soil improvement. Mushrooms can improve soil through several approaches such as increasing soil organic matter, controlling soil erosion, improving soil aggregates, enhancing soil nutrition, promoting C, and NPK cycling, and the bioremediation of polluted soils. Like other fungi, mushrooms have strong impacts on soil including both positive and negative. The spent mushroom substrate could be applied to soil as an organic fertilizer or compost, which could increase soil microbial activity and the content of amino acid metabolites in the studied orchard. Mushrooms also could be used as a bioindicator for soil pollution (e.g., toxic elements, heavy metals, organic pollutants, and radioactives/isotopes). Therefore, the main roles of mushrooms in the soil include soil myco-nanoremediation, soil myco-nanomanagement, and soil myco-improvement. This is a call for submission of photographic articles on the roles of mushrooms in soils to publish by Egyptian Journal of Soil Science.

Soil salinity is one of the biggest widespread abiotic stresses severely restricting crop production. Under stress, several extracts have been used as effective natural bio-stimulants. However, the combined influences of soil organic amendments and natural bio-stimulants on the production and defenses of plants grown under the dual stress of salinity and alkalinity are still only rudimentarily known. So, a field experiment was executed during the winter season of 2020/2021to assess the effectiveness of various organic amendments and the foliar application of various stimulants in reducing the detrimental effects of soil salinity on wheat plants grown under saline-alkali stress (electric conductivity = 13.2 dSm -1 and exchangeable sodium percentage = 15.1%).Twenty treatments were executed in a split plot design. The organic amendments[without soil addition (control), vermicompost, compost and chicken manure] were devoted in the main plots, while thebio-stimulants (without foliar application (control), moringa leave extract, licorice root extract, ginger extract, and humate potassium) were allocated in the sub plots. The findings illustrated that the highest plant's self-production of proline and enzymatic antioxidants i.e . catalase enzyme, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were realized whenwheat plants were treated with vermicompost and sprayed with moringa extract, while the lowest values of proline and enzymatic antioxidants were recorded with untreated plants (without soil and foliar application). Regarding the yield and its components, the highest value of yield was realized with wheat plants treated with vermicompost and moringa extract simultaneously.

Nanotechnology has the potential to increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural production. So, this research work was carried out to assess the effect of some soil conditioners at different rates and foliar application of antioxidant on the performance of wheat plants grown on sandy soil. The treatments were T 1 : Control (without soil addition);T 2 : 0.50%Normal compost (bulky);T 3 : 0.25% Nano compost;T 4 : 0.50% Nano compost;T 5 : 0.50% Normal agricultural gypsum (bulky);T 6 : 0.25% Nano agricultural gypsum;T 7 : 0.50% Nano agricultural gypsum; T 8 : 0.50% Normal sugar lime mud (bulky);T 9 : 0.25% Nano sugar lime mud;T 10 : 0.50% Nano sugar lime mud; F 1 : without proline and F 2 : with proline.Wheat plants treated with compostpossessed the highest values of all growth criteria ( e.g., fresh and dry weights, plant height and leaf area), photosynthetic pigments (after 70 days from sowing), yield, its component, and grains quality (at harvest stage) under sandy soil conditions followed by that treated with agricultural gypsum than the plants treated with sugar lime mud, while the untreated wheat plants with any soil conditioner (control treatment) possessed the lowest values of all aforementioned traits. Nano form was superior compared to the normal form with all studied soil amendments. Also, all aforementioned traits increased as the rate of Nano form increased with all studied soil amendments.Regarding the foliar application, the proline treatment was superior compared to the control treatment (without foliar application). The control treatment (without soil and foliar applications) led to raising the enzymatic antioxidants content in the straw of wheat plant after 70 days from sowing, where the cultivation without any both soil conditioners and proline caused an increase in wheat self-production from these antioxidants to scavenge the ROS (or as named free radicals) resulting due to the poverty of sandy soil, thus increase of tolerance. Generally, it can be concluded that all the studied soil conditioners ( i.e., gypsum, compost, and sugar lime mud) in either normal form or Nano form have a beneficial effect on improving the performance and productivity of wheat plants grown under sandy soil conditions. Also, the findings of the current work confirmed proline is one of the plant's protective ways from the poverty of sandy soil fertility, where it works as an antioxidant and leads to an increase in wheat plant tolerance to the poverty of sandy soil fertility.

The treatments were T 1 : Control (without soil addition);T 2 : 0.50%Normal compost (bulky);T 3 : 0.25% Nano compost;T 4 : 0.50% Nano compost;T 5 : 0.50% Normal agricultural gypsum (bulky);T 6 : 0.25% Nano agricultural gypsum;T 7 : 0.50% Nano agricultural gypsum; T 8 : 0.50% Normal sugar lime mud (bulky);T 9 : 0.25% Nano sugar lime mud;T 10 : 0.50% Nano sugar lime mud; F 1 : without proline and F 2 : with proline.Wheat plants treated with compostpossessed the highest values of all growth criteria ( e.g., fresh and dry weights, plant height and leaf area), photosynthetic pigments (after 70 days from sowing), yield, its component, and grains quality (at harvest stage) under sandy soil conditions followed by that treated with agricultural gypsum than the plants treated with sugar lime mud, while the untreated wheat plants with any soil conditioner (control treatment) possessed the lowest values of all aforementioned traits. Nano form was superior compared to the normal form with all studied soil amendments. Also, all aforementioned traits increased as the rate of Nano form increased with all studied soil amendments.Regarding the foliar application, the proline treatment was superior compared to the control treatment (without foliar application). The control treatment (without soil and foliar applications) led to raising the enzymatic antioxidants content in the straw of wheat plant after 70 days from sowing, where the cultivation without any both soil conditioners and proline caused an increase in wheat self-production from these antioxidants to scavenge the ROS (or as named free radicals) resulting due to the poverty of sandy soil, thus increase of tolerance. Generally, it can be concluded that all the studied soil conditioners ( i.e., gypsum, compost, and sugar lime mud) in either normal form or Nano form have a beneficial effect on improving the performance and productivity of wheat plants grown under sandy soil conditions. Also, the findings of the current work confirmed proline is one of the plant's protective ways from the poverty of sandy soil fertility, where it works as an antioxidant and leads to an increase in wheat plant tolerance to the poverty of sandy soil fertility.","PeriodicalId":44612,"journal":{"name":"EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44904086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
