: The broomrape , Orobanche crenat a Forsk (Orobanchaceae) is a serious annual parasitic weed that causes considerable losses in many major crops including faba bean (Vicia faba L.). In Egypt: losses due to O. crenata parasitism may reach 40 to 100%. Despite using several methods to control O. crenata, success has not been achieved. The impact of different control tactics on O. crenata is not well understood . However, Sowing date appears to be one of the potential solutions for controlling O. crenata . In this work we investigated the effect of sowing dates on both the level of infection by O. crenata and the pod yield of faba bean using resistant (Giza 843) and susceptible (Nubaria 1) faba bean cultivars in naturally Orobanche infested soil. Moreover, the Orobanche seeds production was determined as an indication of seed bank future adding in soil. Under Orobanche free conditions, Nubaria 1 cultivar produces more pod yield than the resistant cultivar. The results demonstrated that, late sowing (3 weeks after normal sowing date) reduced significantly the number of emerged O. crenata shoots for both the resistant and the susceptible cultivars., Late sowing similarly contributed to a significant increase in pod yield (dry weight (kg)/plot) especially for Giza 843 (5.15 ± 0.02 Kg /plot), the resistant cultivar, which produced much higher pod yield than the susceptible Nubaria 1 cultivar (2.98± 0.06 Kg /plot) during the first season (2019 - 2020). During the second season (2020 - 2021), the pod yield was (3.85 ± 0.10) and (5.49± 0.76) Kg/plot for Giza 843 and Nubaria 1 cultivars, respectively, compared with the early sowing date. Furthermore, regarding both seasons,
:雀花,Orobanche crenat a Forsk (Orobanchaceae)是一种严重的一年生寄生杂草,对包括蚕豆(Vicia faba L.)在内的许多主要作物造成相当大的损失。在埃及:因绿腹草寄生造成的损失可达40%至100%。尽管使用了几种方法来控制绿腹草,但尚未取得成功。不同的防治策略对绿腹草的影响尚不清楚。然而,播种期似乎是控制绿腹草的潜在解决方案之一。本研究以抗(Giza 843)和易感(Nubaria 1)蚕豆品种为研究对象,研究了播期对绿腹虫侵染水平和蚕豆荚果产量的影响。此外,确定了种子产量作为种子库未来在土壤中添加的指示。在无Orobanche的条件下,Nubaria 1的豆荚产量高于抗病品种。结果表明,晚播(比正常播期晚3周)显著降低了抗性和敏感品种的出芽数量。在第1季(2019 - 2020年),晚播也显著提高了稻壳产量(干重(kg)/田),尤其是抗病品种吉萨843(5.15±0.02 kg /田),其稻壳产量远高于易感品种努巴利亚1(2.98±0.06 kg /田)。第二季(2020 - 2021),吉萨843和努巴利亚1号品种的荚果产量分别为(3.85±0.10)Kg/块和(5.49±0.76)Kg/块。此外,就这两个季节而言,

: Today’s agriculture sector faces a complex series of challenges to cope with the demands for sustainable management and production, which entails an increase in food production to ensure food security while using less water per unit of output and reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer losses through leaching. The experiment was conducted at Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center on-station to study the effect of different irrigation levels and N-fertilizer rates on plant height, bulb yield, bulb diameter, and bulb height and water productivity of onion. The treatments of the experiment had factorial combinations of three levels of watering and four N-fertilizer amounts. Results indicated that the highest plant height (53.07 cm), bulb height (6.13 cm), bulb diameter (6.21 cm), marketable bulb yield (241.39 qt/ha) and total bulb yield (252.89 qt/ha) were obtained from full irrigation and fully N-fertilized compared to the deficit conditions. The highest water productivity was recorded from 60% ETc irrigation level and 150 Kg/ha N-fertilizer application rate, but the reduction in water productivity with 80% ETc and 150 Kg/ha N-fertilizer application rate was not significant. Hence, if water is not limiting factor, 100% ETc irrigation level and 150 Kg/ha N-fertilizer could be suggested to apply. But if water becomes 232 limiting factor, 80% ETc irrigation level with 150 Kg/ha N-fertilizer would be more appropriate for growing onion in the study area. Therefore these can be used as one package of onion production technology and all growers better to apply.

Sugar beet molasses is one of the important by products in sugar industry, it in dark brown to black colored and rich source of various polysaccharides. So, it can be used in the production of ethanol by Saccharomycescerevisiae. Data showed that 2% inoculums size was the best size of all tested for molasses media. Where the alcohol production was 4.6 ml /100 media with economic coefficient 53.7% and yield coefficient 46.1%. Also, incubation periods were tested from 2 to 14 days. Maximum alcohol production was noticed at the sixth day of fermentation, it was 4.71% ml/100ml medium. The economic and yield coefficient were 53.7% and 46.1%; respectively. Results showed at 30°C incubation temperature the yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae produced high value of ethanol production. 4.61 ml /100ml medium with high value of economic coefficient 53.7% and 46.1% of yield coefficient. While PH 5 was the optimal value for ethanol production from molasses, where alcohol production was 4.61%, economic coefficient and yield coefficient were 53.7% and 46.1%, respectively. Increasing the PH value up to 5.5 did not increase the ethanol production. but ethanol production was recorded decrease value. Data showed that at 20°C incubation temperature and 14.0% initial, sugar the ethanol production was 5.16% with 40% economic coefficient, while at 30°C incubation temperature the maximum ethanol production was 6.3% with economic coefficient 49.0% where the initial sugar was 14.0%.
甜菜糖蜜是制糖工业的重要副产物之一,其颜色为深褐色至黑色,富含多种多糖。因此,它可以用于酿酒酵母生产乙醇。结果表明,2%的接种量为糖蜜培养基的最佳接种量。其中酒精产量为4.6 ml /100培养基,经济系数为53.7%,产率系数为46.1%。此外,潜伏期测试为2至14天。发酵第6天酒精产量最高,为4.71% ml/100ml培养基。经济系数和产量系数分别为53.7%和46.1%;分别。结果表明,在30℃的培养温度下,酿酒酵母生产乙醇的价值较高。4.61 ml /100ml培养基,经济系数为53.7%,产率系数为46.1%。PH值为5时,糖蜜产乙醇的最佳值为4.61%,经济系数和产量系数分别为53.7%和46.1%。当PH值增加到5.5时,乙醇产量并没有增加。但乙醇产量有下降的记录。结果表明,在20℃培养温度和14.0%初始条件下,乙醇产量为5.16%,经济系数为40%;在30℃培养温度下,乙醇产量最高为6.3%,经济系数为49.0%,初始糖含量为14.0%。
