Food security presents a significant challenge in arid regions, exacerbated by water scarcity due to climate change. Tomato is one of the top agricultural crops around the world, in which it is needed to investigate its irrigation water requirements for each region, especially in the arid regions. This work mainly aims to estimate the irrigation water requirements and irrigation schedules for cultivating tomato in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), United Arab Emirates (UAE). This would be done by utilizing the FAO-CROPWAT 8.0 Model and CLIMWAT 2.0. The findings of this research support efficient water use by utilizing the advanced modeling tools. The outcomes will inform and enhance irrigation water management practices for farmers, farm owners, and policymakers, contributing significantly to sustainable development goals and the resilience of agricultural systems in water-limited environments.

The drylands of Africa are experiencing food insecurity due to prolonged drought and water scarcity which has a negative effect on crop production. In the drylands of Sub-Saharan Africa, many small holder farmers are experiencing low crop yields and economic returns as a result of poor soil fertility and water scarcity. This is because of the inappropriate soil and water conservation strategies used in the region. Zai pits have been used as a soil and water conservation strategy in the drylands of Africa in combination with integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) options to improve soil fertility, increase the overall crop yields and the economic returns. This review deals on the role of zai pits and integrated soil fertility management options in improving productivity for the small holder farmers in the drylands of Sub-Saharan Africa. Zai pits have been used to harvest water which ultimately improves soil moisture for crop production with the different fertility inputs applied in the pits for nutrient efficiency. To evaluate productivity and profitability in zai tillage system, yield, benefit cost ratio (BCR) and net benefits are used. In this study, different studies by researchers on the use of zai pits and integrated soil fertility management options have been discussed and this would be beneficial for other researchers who have interest in this field. Most studies have indicated that the zai pit technology is an important soil and water conservation strategy which in combination with the integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) options improves crop productivity in terms of yield and economic returns.

Fertilization in agricultural cultivation is important in increasing the supply of necessary nutrients for plants to achieve high yield and quality. This study aims to examine the balance of N,P,K,Ca, and Mg against nutrients in soil and plants and its correlation with the growth and yield of corn. There were 9 treatments of N, P, K, Ca, Mg fertilizer balance used, namely: control (A) and 1: 1: 1: 0: 0 (B); 0.25: 0.25: 0.25: 1: 1 (C); 0.5: 0.5: 0.5: 1: 1 (D); 0.75: 0.75: 0.75: 1: 1 (E); 1: 1:1: 1: 1 (F); 0.75: 0.75: 0.75: 0.25: 0.25 (G); 0.75: 0.75: 0.75: 0.5: 0.5 (H); 0.75: 0.75: 0.75: 0.75: 0.75 (I). Parameters observed included nutrients N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in soil and leaf, plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, cob weight with and without husks, and cob length and diameter. The results showed that nutrient balance significantly affected nutrient levels in soil and leaf, plant growth, and yield of corn. N, P, K, Ca, Mg Fertilizer application with ratio 0.5: 0.5: 0.5: 1: 1 (D) increased soil N 100%, P 40%, K 108.33%, Ca 28.08%, Mg 30.17% higher than the control and plant leaf N, P, K, Ca, Mg about 101.60%, 12.50%, 10.13%, 50.98%, 101.41% respectively, thus providing higher growth and yield. There was a significant correlation between plant height with leaf N and K, stem diameter correlated with leaf Ca, and number of leaves correlated with Mg in corn leaf. Meanwhile, yield correlated with P.

In the present study, the combined effects of cow dung (CD) and zinc (Zn) fertilizers on tomato growth and yield was studied. Seven (7) treatments as T0=CD0Zn0 (Control), T1=CD5Zn0, T2=CD0Zn1, T3=CD0Zn1.5, T4=CD5Zn2, T5=CD5Zn2.5, T6=CD5Zn3 were used in a RCBD with three replications using two factors like cow dung (0 and 5 t ha-1) and zinc fertilizers (0, 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 kg ha-1).The use of CD and Zn fertilizers had a substantial impact on all of the assessed growth, yield contributing attributes, and yield. The result revealed that the highest yield and yield contributing characters such as plant height (51.33, 73.00 and 105.00 cm at 35, 50 and 65 DAT, respectively), number of leaves plant-1 (17.00, 19.33 and 24.00 at 35, 50 and 65 DAT, respectively), number of branches plant-1 (11.00, 12.00 and 14.00 at 35, 50 and 65 DAT, respectively), maximum number of flower clusters plant-1 (7.00 and 15.60 at 50 and 65 DAT, respectively), number of fruits plant-1 (8.00 and 46.09 at 50 and 65 DAT, respectively), the highest individual fruit weight (73.00 g), weight of fruit plant-1 (4.83 kg), fruit length (7.50 cm), fruit diameter (4.17 cm) and yield (55.00 t ha-1) were produced at T6 (5 t CD ha-1 and 3 kg Zn ha-1) but lowest in T0 (control) in all parameters. The results of the study suggest that combining CD and Zn fertilizers is an excellent source of tomato fertilization, with T6 treatment (5 t CD ha-1 and 3 kg Zn ha-1) being found to be the most suitable due to the use of fewer treatment factors than recommended doses for obtaining economically viable yield.
在本研究中，研究了牛粪（CD）和锌（Zn）肥料对番茄生长和产量的综合影响。七（7）个处理为 T0=CD0Zn0（对照）、T1=CD5Zn0、T2=CD0Zn1、T3=CD0Zn1.5、T4=CD5Zn2、T5=CD5Zn2.5、T6=CD5Zn3，采用牛粪（0 和 5 吨/公顷）和锌肥（0、1、1.使用牛粪和锌肥对所有评估的生长、产量贡献属性和产量都有很大影响。结果表明，产量和产量贡献特征最高的是株高（35、50 和 65 DAT 期分别为 51.33、73.00 和 105.00 厘米）、株叶数-1（35、50 和 65 DAT 期分别为 17.00、19.33 和 24.00）、分枝数-1（35、50 和 65 DAT 期分别为 11.00、12.00 和 14.00）、最大花簇数-1（35、50 和 65 DAT 期分别为 7.00 和 15.60）。T6（5 t CD ha-1 和 3 kg Zn ha-1）的单果重（73.00 g）、单株果重（4.83 kg）、果实长度（7.50 cm）、果实直径（4.17 cm）和产量（55.00 t ha-1）最高，而 T0（对照）的所有参数最低。研究结果表明，将 CD 肥和锌肥结合使用是番茄施肥的极佳来源，其中 T6 处理（5 t CD ha-1 和 3 kg Zn ha-1）是最适合的，因为使用的处理因子比推荐剂量少，可以获得经济可行的产量。

The organic farming system is an agricultural activity which aims to preserve soil fertility and create sustainable farming. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of the application of green manure on soil fertility index and rice production. The research was carried out in Weru District, Sukoharjo Regency, using an experiment method with a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The research included 10 treatments: T0 = Control, T1 = NPK fertilizer 0.2 ton/ha, T2 = rice straw 10 ton/ha, T3 = Chromolaena odorata 10 ton/ha, T4 = Ipomoea carnea 10 ton/ha, T5 = Eichhornia crassipes 10 ton/ha, T6 = NPK 0.1 ton/ha + rice straw 5 ton/ha, T7 = NPK 0.1 ton/ha + C. odorata 5 ton/ha, T8 = NPK 0.1 ton/ha + I. carnea 5 ton/ha, T9 = NPK 0.1 ton/h + E. crassipes 5 ton/ha, with three repetitions. The soil characteristics tested were pH, total N, available P, exchangeable K, exchangeable Ca, exchangeable Mg, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Base Saturation (BS), and Soil Organic Carbon (SOC). The results show that C. odorata, I. carnea, and E. crassipes have potential as green manures, due to their high N content, of 3.38%, 3.54%, and 2.95% andthe ability to increase soil fertility and rice production. The soil fertility index increased from high to very high, neither within single applications nor combined with NPK fertilizer. The highest rice production was obtained with the use of C. odorata, which increased harvest dry weight by 2.24 ton/ha (67.67%) or an increase of 2.1 ton/ha (75%) in milled dry weight, followed by I. carnea and E. crassipes. There was a correlation between soil fertility index and rice production, shown by the higher SFI, the harvest dry weight and milled dry weight increases.

In Messaad a city, of Algeria central region, under arid climate, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the main fruit crops in agricultural systems after apricot. To examine the ability of transformation and direct consumption, a chemical analysis study of pomegranate juice was conducted on fruits of three pomegranate cultivars: Khadraye KH1, Hamraye HM1, Senin Alouj SL1 from the drip-irrigated Messaad orchards. A study of chemical properties such as pH, titratable acidity TS, total solids TSS, crude fibers CF of pomegranate seed juices was carried out from the fruits of three cultivars. Descriptive statistics, analyze of variance and Principal Component Analysis based on quantitative parameters are used. The cultivars Senin Aloudj SL1 and Khadraye KH1 of Messaad are characterized as sweet with respectively 1.80 and 1.84% of crude fiber content. The cultivar Hamraye HM1 is qualified sour-sweet to sweet with 2.10% crude fiber rate. The SL1 and KH1 are suitable for the consumption in fresh and can be object of food transformation to which is added the therapeutic and medicinal interest that confers the pomegranate tree whereas the HM1 apart from its consumption can be used as excellence to food transformation in various products. The findings presented in this work justify the interest of germplasm variability not only for it fresh consumption and processing, but also in the broad sense of valorization and preserving phytogenetic resources for agriculture and food locally threatened.

The presence of atrazine residue in agricultural soil may affect crop growth and the activity of plant growth-promoting bacteria. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of atrazine contamination on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production by Bacillus stercoris B.PNR2. Subsequently, the ability of B. stercoris B.PNR2 to stimulate the seedling growth of rice cultivars RD6 and Leum Pua, as well as the waxy corn cultivar Muang Tam, under atrazine contamination, was determined. The results showed that B. stercoris B.PNR2 produced IAA under various atrazine concentrations, and atrazine was not toxic to B. stercoris B.PNR2 cells. Atrazine at 20 mg/kg of soil did not affect the shoot and root dry weight of rice cultivars RD6 and Leum Pua, as well as the waxy corn cultivar Muang Tam grown in atrazine-contaminated soil without receiving a bacterial inoculum. The application of B. stercoris B.PNR2 did not stimulate the germination and growth of any of the plants used in this study. The application of B. stercoris B.PNR2 decreased the shoot and root dry weight of waxy corn grown under atrazine-contaminated soil. Additionally, the chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content in rice cultivar RD6, grown under atrazine-contaminated soil, decreased to only 162.6 ± 4.2 and 616.0 ± 55.8 μg/g fresh weight, which was related to the increase in proline content to 343.6 ± 41.6 μg/g fresh weight. In conclusion, it can be stated that soaking seeds with B. stercoris B.PNR2 was not an appropriate means of inoculation to stimulate the growth of plants in this study.
农业土壤中残留的阿特拉津可能会影响作物生长和植物生长促进菌的活性。因此，本研究调查了阿特拉津污染对 B. stercoris B.PNR2 产生吲哚-3-乙酸（IAA）的影响。随后，测定了在阿特拉津污染条件下，B. stercoris B.PNR2 刺激水稻栽培品种 RD6 和 Leum Pua 以及蜡质玉米栽培品种 Muang Tam 幼苗生长的能力。结果表明，在不同浓度的阿特拉津作用下，B. stercoris B.PNR2 产生 IAA，且阿特拉津对 B. stercoris B.PNR2 细胞无毒性。土壤中浓度为 20 毫克/千克的阿特拉津不会影响水稻栽培品种 RD6 和 Leum Pua 以及蜡质玉米栽培品种 Muang Tam 在未接受细菌接种体的情况下在阿特拉津污染土壤中生长的芽和根干重。施用 B. stercoris B.PNR2 对本研究中使用的任何植物的发芽和生长都没有刺激作用。施用 B. stercoris B.PNR2 会降低在阿特拉津污染土壤中生长的蜡质玉米的芽和根的干重。此外，在阿特拉津污染土壤中生长的水稻品种 RD6 的叶绿素 b 和总叶绿素含量仅为 162.6 ± 4.2 和 616.0 ± 55.8 μg/g 鲜重，这与脯氨酸含量增加到 343.6 ± 41.6 μg/g 鲜重有关。总之，在本研究中，用 B. stercoris B.PNR2 浸泡种子并不是刺激植物生长的适当接种方式。

Therefore, this study investigated the impact of atrazine contamination on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production by Bacillus stercoris B.PNR2. Subsequently, the ability of B. stercoris B.PNR2 to stimulate the seedling growth of rice cultivars RD6 and Leum Pua, as well as the waxy corn cultivar Muang Tam, under atrazine contamination, was determined. The results showed that B. stercoris B.PNR2 produced IAA under various atrazine concentrations, and atrazine was not toxic to B. stercoris B.PNR2 cells. Atrazine at 20 mg/kg of soil did not affect the shoot and root dry weight of rice cultivars RD6 and Leum Pua, as well as the waxy corn cultivar Muang Tam grown in atrazine-contaminated soil without receiving a bacterial inoculum. The application of B. stercoris B.PNR2 did not stimulate the germination and growth of any of the plants used in this study. The application of B. stercoris B.PNR2 decreased the shoot and root dry weight of waxy corn grown under atrazine-contaminated soil.

The prediction of cereals yields today is very important for global food security and helps decision-makers in the import-export operations of countries, especially with the rise world population. The advent of remote sensing technologies in precision farming systems has made cereal yield predictions possible, providing valuable insights into the temporal and spatial variations in cereal conditions across both large and small-scale crop lands. Among the various vegetation indices used to analyze these conditions, the normalized difference of vegetation index (NDVI) has emerged as a key indicator. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using MODIS-NDVI data to forecast the yield of cereal crops (wheat and barley) in semi-arid region of Algeria (Setif). Additionally, identify the optimal timing for reliable and accurate crop yield forecasts. The remote sensing data utilized in this study covered the growing seasons from February to June, from 2002 to 2022. The results indicated a strong correlation between cereal grain yield and NDVI from late February to mid-March, with R² values ranging from 0.55 to 0.82 for the two cereal species. The RMSE of the NDVI based prediction model ranged from 0.01 t ha-1 to 0.276 t ha-1. The approximate average increase in the grain yield of barley and wheat lies between 0.659 to 0.746 t ha-1 with an increase of 0.1 in NDVI value. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of using MODIS-NDVI data for cereal yield forecasting in semi-arid region of Algeria, offering valuable predictions two to three months before the harvest.
