“…Because of such intensification plans, the use of chemicals was exaggerated and soil degradation turns out to be a global problem (Babla et al, 2022). Probably recycling organic residues may lessen soil degradation (Bationo et al, 2007;El-Ramady et al, 2022) via substituting (partially or totally) chemical fertilizers (Wang et al, 2018;Sarhan and Bashandy, 2021) and, at the same time, increasing the organic carbon and nitrogen contents in soils (Maris et al, 2021).…”

Wheat is a strategic crop in Egypt. Its local consumption is increasing continuously accordingly; Egypt has become the largest wheat importer worldwide. The sustainable approach for increasing wheat productivity is probably through organic additives. For this reason, animal, chicken and plant residues were collected from an experimental farm for preparation of (1) plant residue compost (PRC) via composting a mixture of air-dried and chopped rice and soybean straw at a rate of 1:1 and (2) animal residue compost (ARC) via composting a mixture of chicken and cattle manure at a rate of 1:1. The main aim of this study is to compare between the implications of amending a clayey soil with animal versus plant residues for improving soil physical and chemical characteristics. Also, this study considers the changes in soil fertility owing to these additives, hence their outcomes on wheat growth and productivity. To achieve this goal, a field investigation was conducted following a split-split design in which the two types of composts were plotted in main plots while the rates of compost application (15 and 25 Mg per hectare) were plotted in subplots. Non-amended control plots were also included for data comparison. All plots were cultivated with wheat seeds in winter 2018 and received the recommended doses of NPK fertilizers to compare between the two types of composts as conditioners not as fertilizers. The experiment lasted for 160 days until maturity. All composts improved considerably soil physical (soil bulk density, total porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity and penetration resistance) and chemical (soil organic matter and CEC) characterises, especially with increasing their rate of application. In this concern, the results of the two types of composts were comparable. Also, these additives boosted grain and straw yields, yield components (spike length, spike weight, number of spikelets/ spike, 100-grain weight). Moreover, theyenriched soils with N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in available forms; hence raised their contents within wheat shoots and grains, with superiority for ARC versus PRC. There were significant positive correlations between shoot and grain yields in relation to the nutritional status of these plant parts. Accordingly, organic additives, especially animal residues, should be included in the coming sustainable approaches for increasing wheat production.

“…In Table , (3) and Table (4) growth and yield parameters improved significantly at 5% with biofertilizer treatments. Onion plant height, number of leaves /plant and fresh weight increased as mentioned by Sarhan and Bashandy, (2021). Azotobacter gave highest N, P, K and concentration in onion leaves and improved onion properties in terms of plant height (50.51cm), leaf number (12.5), bulb diameter (7.43 cm) and bulb weight (96.24 gm), Increase yfed ) and TSS (16.52%).…”

A field experiment was conducted during the two growing seasons (2019-2020), At Agricultural Experimental Station of the Desert Research Center at Khamisa Village (29.21º N and 25.40º E), Siwa Oasis, Matrouh Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of biofertilizers (Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus megatherium and Pseudomans fluorescence ) and foliar applications with copper, manganese, and iron at two concentrations of 0.2 and 0.4% (Cu, Mn, and Fe). The best results recorded with A. chroococcum combined with 0.4%iron for most parameters. The outcomes were as follows: Both biofertilizer inoculation and micronutrients foliar application gave a synergistic effect and enhanced the uptake of minerals and their metabolism in plants. The application significantly impacted the development, yield, and microbial community in the rhizosphere of inoculated plants. Compared to the control, the interaction treatments between biofertilizer inoculation and micronutrient foliar application had the most positive effects on onion plant growth indices, yield, and microbial activity in the rhizosphere.A.chroococcum increased plant height, leaves number, plant fresh and dry weight specifically with 4.0% iron, bulb diameter with Mn and Fe, yield ,total microbial count with Fe at 2.0 and 4.0% compared with B. megaterium, and Ps.fluorescence. Comparing with Ps.fluorescence and A.chroococcum, B.megaterium recorded the highest, bulb weight, bulb diameter with copper (Cu), total soluble solids (TSS), total microbial count with Cu and Mn, Bacillus count and phosphatase activity.

“…The edible portions of onion plants include sulfur-containing volatile chemicals that give them their distinct flavour and unique pungent odour (Gîtina et al, 2014). Furthermore, onions are a rich in essential oils, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and carbohydrates (Sekara et al, 2017;Sarhan and Bashandy, 2021). In Egypt, onions hold great potential for exportation owing to their early availability in international markets, high pungency, nutritional value, and extended shelf-storage period compared to other onion varieties.…”

O EXPLORE the influence of varied nitrogen rates and foliar spraying of natural stimulants on vegetative growth, yield, and onion quality. This experiment was carried out over the two seasons 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 to investigate nitrogen fertilizer at rates: 144, 216, and 288 kg N ha -1 and natural stimulant treatments (yeast extract, fulvic acid, amino acids, and seaweed extract). As well as control. The results clearly demonstrated that raising the nitrogen rate from 144 to 288 kg N ha -1 significantly enhanced the leaves number of plant -1 , fresh plant weight (g), average bulb weight (g), marketable bulb yield (t ha-1), double bulbs%, bulb diameter, TSS%, dry matter%, N%, P%, K%, carbohydrate% and protein content%. Foliar spraying with natural stimulators (yeast extract, fulvic acid, amino acids, seaweed extract) significantly increased plant height (cm), number of leaves/plant, fresh plant weight (g), neck diameter (cm), bulb diameter (cm), bulbing ratio, average bulb weight (g), marketable bulb yield (t ha-1), culls bulb yield (t ha-1), double bulbs%, bulb diameter, TSS%, dry matter%, N%, P%, K%, carbohydrate% and protein content%, during both seasons. The nitrogen at rate of 288 kg N ha -1 combined with amino acids spraying appeared the highest mean values of average bulb weight (g) during the 1 st season and marketable yield during the two seasons. The highest value of dry matter% was achieved by fertilizing by 216 kg N ha -1 when spraying with fulvic acids during both seasons.
