“…They reported that deficit irrigation for cucumber under greenhouse condition increased fruit yield and productivity of irrigation water. Increasing cucumber fruit yield under I2 treatment may be due to improving the rate of aeration which increase decomposition of soil organic matter and hence increasing availability of nutrients, therefore, forming healthy plants with good vegetative growth (Moursi et al, 2009, Khalifa et al, 2013and Khalifa, 2020 In regards to Bio-chemical fertilization, the results shown in Table (4) indicated that fruit number, fruit weight and fruit yield were highly significant affected by Biochemical fertilizers application in both growing seasons. The highest mean values of fruit number plant -1 were 128.7 and 131.17; fruit weight were 9.73 and 9.98 kg plant -1 and fruit yield were 37348.36 and 38317.16 kg fed -1 for application fertilizer level (F3) in both growing seasons, respectively.…”

“…Additionally, it has been demonstrated that biological fertilizers are particularly important as a suitable alternative to mineral fertilizers by enhancing soil fertility, meeting plant nutrition needs and increasing crop yield. (Poraas EL-Din et al, 2008, Khalifa et al, 2013, Saeed et al, 2015and Khalifa, 2020. Under limitation of water resources, high prices of mineral fertilizers and fatal environmental pollution a big problem faces the Egyptian Agriculture.…”

Greenhouse experiments were carried out in the Gammsa district of Dakahlya Governorate over two seasons (2016/2017 and 2017/2018), to investigate the impact of three drip irrigation levels, (100 , 80 and 65% of soil field capacity (FC), donated as I1, I2 and I3, respectively and partial replacement of biofertilizers to mineral fertilizers, F1 (100% RNPK), F2 (75% RNPK +50% of mixture of biofertale + rhizobacterien) and F3 (55% RNPK + 100% of mixture of biofertale + rhizobacterien), on cucumber yield and its components. The economic return was considered as well. The results revealed that both irrigation and fertilization treatments had a highly significant impact on cucumber plant yield and attributes. In both seasons, the I2 and F3 treatments produced the highest cucumber fruit yield and the majority of its components. In the first and second seasons, respectively, fruit yield increased by (21.87 and 22.29%) in the I2-treatment compared to I1, and by the comparable values (10.78 and 13.18%) in the F3-treatment compared to F1. In both seasons, the combination of I2 and F2 or F3 produced the highest values of net revenue, net revenue per water unit, and economic efficiency numbers, moreover, the I3 treatment surpassed the I1 treatment in terms of irrigation water productivity and water savings. In conclusion: Under greenhouse conditions using sandy soil, I2 paired with F2 or F3 is the most effective treatment for obtaining an economical cucumber fruit production, economic return, and saving water and mineral fertilizers.

Two consecutive winter seasons field experiments were held at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-sheikh Governorate.The productivity of canola, some water relations, and economic returns were the subjects of the study and evaluation of four irrigation regimes: cut-off irrigation at 100% (I1), 90% (I2), and 85% (I3) of furrow length and alternative furrow irrigation (I4); and four fertilization treatments: F1 (recommended dose of NP (100% RNP as control)), F2 (75% RN+100% RP+ rhizobactrien (BioI), F3 (100% RN + 65% RP+ phosphorien (BioII), and F4 (50% RNP+ the mixture of Bio1+ BioII). The findings demonstrated that, in both seasons, the sequence of seasonal water application and water consumptive usage was I1 > I2 > I3 > I4. Comparing the I2, I3, and I4 treatments to the I1 treatment, the water savings were 6.98, 10.47, and 20.11%, respectively. In all seasons, the (I3) and (F3) treatments are superior in raising canola seeds&, oil yield and most of its characteristics. Crop water and irrigation efficiencies as well as groundwater contribution, I4 had the best outcomes over the two seasons. Combining I3 and F3 treatments produced the maximum revenue and profitability of canola seed production; in contrast, I4 and F3 or F4 treatments produced the highest net revenue from the water unit in the two seasons. In conclusion, the most effective treatments for increasing canola production at a lower cost, generating a profit, and conserving water and mineral fertilizers were I3 or I4 treatments in conjunction with F4 treatment.

Two field experiments were conducted during two successive winter seasons of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020, to estimate the effect of four planting methods (PM) i.e. traditional method and three treatments as a new technique on growth, yield, and its attributes and some water relations as well as the net return of wheat crop. The study consisted of the following treatments; planting methods: i) flat planting (M1), ii) raised bed furrows 80 cm (M2) with three rows of plants, 15 cm apart and 10 cm between hills, iii) narrow beds (M3) (raised bed furrows 100 cm) with four rows of plants, 15 cm apart and 10 cm between hills, iv) medium beds (M4) (raised bed furrows 120 cm) with five rows of plants, 15 cm apart and 10 cm between hills (wide beds).The results showed that the highest values of plant height, grain weight/spike, number of spikes/m 2 , 1000-grains weight, and grain and straw yield kg ha -1 recorded in treatment M3 and the lowest values were recorded in M1. Compared with treatment M1, There was a significant increase of grain yield by 11.77, 13.77, and 9.88% and straw yield by 4.45, 7.79, and 6.68% for treatments M2, M3, and M4, respectively, also, water saving for M2, M3 and M4 were 17.18, 21.53, and 23.19% respectively. The highest values of water productivity were recorded in M3 (1.53 kg m -3 ), while the lowest (1.06 kg m -3 ) was recordrd in M1. M3 had the highest values of the total return and net return.
