“…Sodium is an important cation that, in excess, can damage soil structure and reduce crop yields. If the sodium concentration in the irrigation water is high, it is easily absorbed by the clay particles, displacing Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ ion [14] .…”

The Kuwayfiyah district is located northeast of Benghazi, Libya. It includes some agricultural areas. In this study, an attempt was made to assess the quality of irrigation water in Siret Najem by collecting and identifying water samples to represent the study area from 3 main stations during the month of May 2022. The quality characteristics that were examined in this study were: Total Dissolved Salts (TDS), pH, conductivity, positive ions (K+, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+), and negative ions (HCO3, Cl-, SO4, and CO3) to estimate the sodium adsorption index (SAR) and the sodium adsorption index (Adjusted). The results in the study area showed a reduced risk of sodium using both the sodium adsorption index (SAR) and the Adjusted sodium absorption index as they were (5.167, 4.54), respectively. However, some of the groundwater samples were observed to be of good quality for irrigation in the study area.

The genus Rhizophora belonging to the family Rhizophoraceae are known for their natural interspecific hybrids. The essential oil composition of Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and Rhizophora x annamalayana were identified using GC-MS analysis. Pentadecyl ester bromoacetic acid (14.72 %), eugenol (26.16 %) and n-tetratriacontane (8.43 %) were found to contribute higher proportion of Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and Rhizophora x annamalayana respectively. Alkanes and fatty acids were found to be the higher composition in all the three species.

Maintaining soil fertility and structure in Libya requires attention to water quality and irrigation practices due to limited arable land. This study aims to assess groundwater quality in the Brack-Ashkada, Libya agricultural project based on physicochemical parameters such as electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, and irrigation water quality index (IWQI), as well as some cations and anions, and irrigation indices such as sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate, percentage sodium, permeability index, Kelly's index, potential salinity, total hardness (TH), and magnesium hazards percentage. The results indicated that IWQI is positively correlated with SAR and TH and negatively correlated with the remaining indices. Based on the irrigation indices, the groundwater of the three wells was suitable for irrigation and can be classified as moderately water-restricted. The Piper diagram suggests that the mixed-type Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4 was dominant in the wells. The study concludes that groundwater is partially safe for agricultural use, but specific safety measures must be taken. These findings will assist farmers in enhancing soil management, crop cultivation, and land sustainability.
