“…Vegetative growth parameters i.e., shoot length and number of branches recorded at harvest stage. Data recorded that, the mixture of bio-fertilizer inoculation was significantly increased growth parameters, which may be as a consequence of synthesis of phytohormones, N 2 fixation, synthesis of some enzymes that modulate the level of plant hormones (Gouda et al, 2018 andSindhu andSharma, 2020), solubilization of inorganic phosphate and minerlization of organic phosphate by mycorrhiza (Fallahi et al, 2016;Bagyaraj, 2018;Adeyemia et al, 2019;Ganzour et al, 2020) which makes phosphorus available for plant, the synthesis of growth promoting compounds like cytokinins, gibberellins and indole acetic acid (Mahfouz and Sharaf-Eldin, 2007;Vejan et al, 2016 andTsegaye et al, 2017). These results were similar to Khalil et al (2017) and Al-Sayed et al (2020).…”

A field experiment was conducted in spring season of 2022 according to a randomized complete block design with three replications (RCBD). The experiment included three factors. The first included three levels of agricultural sulfur (0, 1500, and 3000 kg ha-1). The second factor included two levels of thiobacillus bacteria, which are the control treatment (no addition) and the treatment with bacteria. The third factor included three concentrations of nano-zinc (0, 50, and 100 mg L-1). The results showed an excellent level of sulfur (3000 kg ha-1) in the grain yield (8.06 Mg ha-1), the percentage of nitrogen in the grains (1.72%), the percentage of phosphorus in the grains (0.53%) and the percentage of protein in grains is (10.79%), and the percentage of sulfur in grains is (0.270%). As the results showed that the second factor was superior when adding thiobacillus bacteria in the weight of 500 grains and the total grain yield (154.64 g and 7.52 Mg ha-1, respectively). As for nano-zinc, the third level (100 mg L-1) excelled in percentage of nitrogen (1.62%), phosphorus (0.41%), protein (10.79%) and sulfur (0.239%) in Grains, and the weight of 500 grains (155.53 g), with the exception of the total yield characteristic in which the level excelled (50 mg L-1) with an average of (8.01 mg L-1). The interaction between the three factors also gave a positive effect on most of the traits under study.

“…However, economic yields can be attained through adoption of proper soil management practices (Abou Hussien et al 2019). So, management of calcareous soil is essential to increase crop production and preserve the ecological environment in arid and semiarid regions (El-Zemrany et al 2016;Abou Hussien et al 2019;Ganzour et al 2020 andNada et al 2023) So, management of calcareous soils are very important for development of soil fertility and crop productivity. Compost is the end product of the semi aerobicaerobic microbial decomposition of organic matter, such as animal manures, plant residual and domestic wastes, under controlled conditions (Sullivan and Miller 2001).…”

HE AIM of the present study was to evaluate the effects of sandification and composted manure on some selected chemical properties; SOM, CaCO 3 , EC, Soluble Calcium and pH, as well as the pore size distribution of heavy clay calcareous soil. The experiment included four levels of sand addition and three levels of compost in a split plot design with three replicates. The experiment was carried out in an agricultural bilateral cycle that included wheat and maize crop cultivation in the winter and summer seasons, respectively. The results showed that sandification increased the sand fraction slightly and led to a slight decrease in the clay fraction at the end of the wheat season. This was more pronounced in the 1 st soil layer than in the 2 nd and the 3 rd subsurface layers. The residual effects of compost (after harvesting the maize crop) had no obvious effect on the soil particle size distribution. Increasing rates of sandification and compost additions led to a decrease in the soil content of CaCO 3 % compared to the initial soil, pH values, and soil salinity, while the SOM% and soluble Ca ions increased. The best results were obtained under the highest rates of sandification (S 15 ) and compost addition (C 2 ). It could be summarized that the role of both sandification and compost additions has affected CaCO 3 . This relation increases the release of calcium ions (Ca +2 ) to soil solutions, so that buffering the pH values declines towards neutrality. The relatively high salinity of compost affected positively the calcium carbonate solubility.
