“…There was an obvious observable difference in yield and crop quality by using different types of inorganic and organic fertilizers. During the 2010 growing period, various types of organic fertilizers were used in different ratios (Al-Zyoud 2014 ). Excess use of pesticides on the crop and soil may disturb the microbial load and soil fertility.…”

The agricultural sector and environmental safety both work hand in hand to promote sustainability in important issues like soil health, plant nutrition, food safety, and security. The conventional methods have greatly harmed the environment and people’s health and caused soil fertility and quality to decline as well as deteriorate. Keeping in view the excessive exploitation and cascade of degradation events due to unsustainable farming practices, the need of the hour demands choosing an appropriate, eco-friendly strategy to restore soil health, plant nutrition, and environmental aspects. The priority highlights a need for a sustainable and environment-friendly upgradation of the present agricultural systems to utilize the beneficial aspects related to harnessing the gene-microbiome strategies which would help in the restoration and replenishment of the microbial pool. Thus, exploring the microbiome is the utmost priority which gives a deep insight into the different aspects related to soil and plant and stands out as an important contributor to plant health and productivity. “Microbes” are important drivers for the biogeochemical cycles and targets like sustainability and safety. This essential microbial bulk (soil microbiome) is greatly influenced by agricultural/farming practices. Therefore, with the help of microbiome engineering technologies like meta-transcriptomics , meta-proteomics , metabolomics , and novel gene-altering techniques , we can easily screen out the highly diverse and balanced microbial population in the bulk of soil, enhancing the soil’s health and productivity. Importantly, we need to change our cultivation strategies to attain such sustainability. There is an urgent need to revert to natural/organic systems of cultivation patterns where the microbiome hub can be properly utilized to strengthen soil health, decrease insect pest and disease incidence, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately prevent environmental degradation. Through this article, we wish to propose a shift in the cultivation pattern from chemical to the novel , upgraded gene-assisted designed eco-friendly methodologies which can help in incorporating , exploring , and harnessing the right microbiome consortium and can further help in the progression of environmentally friendly microbiome technologies for agricultural safety and productivity.

“…There is a growing interest in the development of innovative control strategies that may lead to a reduction of chemicals, with the aim to minimize the environmental impact of pest management and improve the safety of the agro-food chain (Ganassi et al 2016). In many agricultural-based systems, tillage as cultural control is used to reduce pest populations (Brandenburg et al 1998;Al-Zyoud 2013;2014a, b), which influences directly the survival of soil inhabiting pests (Rodríguez et al 2006; by creating a physical barrier to their movement (Strnad and Bergman 1987), changing their habitat (Van Capelle et al 2012), changing soil moisture and temperature dynamics and increasing mechanical damage (Curry et al 2002). Reduced tillage practices could influence different pest species in different ways due to different pest life strategies (Andersen 1999).…”

Syringopais temperatella Led. (Lep., Scythrididae) is a serious threat of barley and wheat in Jordan as it causes a great loss in crop. There is a growing interest in the development of innovative control strategies aiming to minimize the environmental impact of pest management and improve the safety of the agro-food chain. However, little attention has been paid on the use of cultural control methods against the pest, accordingly, this study aimed at investigating the effect of tillage system in controlling S. temperatella in Jordan. The study was conducted in Karak Governorate during the 2019-2020 cropping season with four tillage types; no-tillage, moldboard, disk and chisel plows. Furthermore, three soil depths (15, 30 and 45 cm) were evaluated for each plow type. Data on the infestation percentage, number of larvae, plant height, grain yield weight, straw biomass, and soil moisture were recorded. Results revealed that pest infestation and number of larvae were significantly the lowest in moldboard plow followed by disc plow and chisel plow, and then in no-tillage. In addition, the pest infestation and number of larvae decreased significantly with increasing plowing depth. Plant height, grain yield, straw biomass and soil moisture were significantly higher when the moldboard plow was used, followed by chisel plow, disc plow, and then no-tillage; likewise, they were increased significantly with increasing tillage depth up to 45 cm. In conclusion, it is suggested to use the conventional tillage at a depth closed to 45 cm instead of no-tillage especially when a moldboard plow used.

“…The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Dip., Tephritidae) is considered the most devastating insect pest possessing severe economic threats for the olive growers in the Mediterranean basin (Zalom et al, 2009;Daane and Johnson, 2010;Al-Zyoud, 2014a, b, 2015, 2017. B. oleae affects olive tree cultivation, causing serious negative Changes in Chemical and Physical Quality….…”

“…Worldwide, chemical insecticides made it possible to protect olives efficiently from B. oleae infestation (Haniotakis, 2005). The predominant method of B. oleae control has been the use of conventional insecticides (Al-Zyoud, 2014a, b, 2015. Insecticides have been effectively used over the last many years and ensured yields and benefits to the olive growers.…”

The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera, Tephritidae) is the most devastating insect pest possessing severe economic threats for the olive growers in Jordan. Therefore, the current study aimed at determining the effect of insecticidal applications against B. oleae on olive quantity, as well as physical (refractive index, fruit weight, diameter and volume, and weight of seed and flesh, as well as oil percentage) and chemical (olive oil acidity and peroxide value parameters). The experiment was conducted using Nabali olive cultivar in Karak District-Jordan in the year 2016. Three insecticides; Karate, Fytoclean, and Dursban used in the spraying operations, and trees were sprayed twice. Insecticidal spraying significantly (P<0.05) reduced olive oil acidity, peroxide value, and refractive index, and increased olive fruit’s weight, diameter and volume, and seed, and flesh weight compared to the untreated trees. In conclusion, the application of insecticides against B. oleae improved the olive quantity and tested quality parameters.
