The results indicated that with all growth studied characters, adding 75% KS + 25% KF application plus seed inoculation with SDB had a positive and significant increase in growth characters i.e. No. of pods/plant, No. of branch /plant, and give a relative increase in seed and straw yields 98.9 and 99.8 %, respectively compared with the 100% individual inorganic K- fertilizer. Also, the combined treatment of 75% KS + 25% KF + SDB recorded insignificant increases in oil and protein contents as well as NPK uptake in both seed and straw for the canola plant. Conclusively, the same combined treatment (75% KS + 25% KF + SDB) can be recommended to improve growth, yield and chemical composition for canola plants in sandy soil and also, the utilization of natural K- feldspar led to reducing the high cost of chemical fertilizer and minimizing the environmental pollution.","PeriodicalId":355116,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Soil Science","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123275689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty morphometric parameters were calculated relying on SRTM data of digital elevation model (DEM). The drainage area of the basin is 3493.2 km 2 . It is divided into thirteen sub-basins of various areas. The morphometric analysis suggests that, the basin is of seven stream order via in most cases dendritic drainage pattern and homogeneous nature. Based totally on the morphometric parameters that have right away impacts on flood susceptible region, the flash flood hazards of Wadi Watir basin are categorized into medium and high hazard degree. For mitigation measure, some dams and dikes are important to construct at the crossing point of the highest stream order. Consequences indicated that, the peak discharge values for Watir basin were 12203.9, 8103.1, 5366.2, 2977.5, and 1884.7 m 3 /s for the 100-, 50-, 25-, 10-, and 5-year return periods, respectively. The runoff volumes for Wadi Watir basin have been 880195.88×10 3 m 3 , 585256.89 ×10 3 m 3 , 387778.05×10 3 m 3 , 214802.10×10 3 m 3 and 135858.1×10 3 m 3 for the 100-, 50-, 25-, 10-, and 5- year return periods, respectively. The groundwater map was categorized into five potential classes; e.g., very poor, poor, intermediate, good and very good potential. In step with the physiochemical characteristics of the geomorphological units of the study basin, the theme layer of those units become reclassified into marginal and non-suitability classes for agriculture use. Marginal suitability class is represented through wadi channel, alluvial plains and delta deposits (230.9 km 2 ). Non suitability class is represented with the aid of all other geomorphic units which characterized by high relief, steep slope, and impervious rocks or very shallow soil depth.","PeriodicalId":355116,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Soil Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114608184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process of soil survey is time consuming and expensive, therefore, the new remote sensing techniques become important to monitoring, estimate soil salinity in quick, easy, cheap, and could be replicate any time. The electromagnetic induction (EMI) instruments used to estimate soil salinity in easy and rapid technique. But the collected EMI instrument readings measured the soil salinity as relative value depend on the instrument calibration point and the readings need to change in EC values (dS/m). The aims of this study are mapping the physiographic units of Wadi Garawla area, Matrouh, Egypt; test the spatial distribution of the calibrated Profiler EMP-400 instrument readings; and estimated EC values from calibrated instrument readings. The results of EMI readings of VDM orientation correlated with EC values assessed in the laboratory were the most suitable for estimating EC values to study the multi and simple regressions using the EMI readings. The correlation results showed that, there was an increase in the significance of the relationship between the measured soil salinity in the laboratory with the estimated EC values using calibrated instrument readings of VDM EMI measurements at 13, 14, and 15 KHz. The descriptive statistical of the produced maps showed that, using the calibrated 15 KHz readings values gave the lowest standard deviation. This confirms that, it is the most appropriate readings to estimate the soil salinity values maps.","PeriodicalId":355116,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Soil Science","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125311640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wheat crop (Triticum aestivum; misr-1) was cultivated. Soil physical and chemical properties were measured before and after wheat cultivation. The irrigation water was, also, chemically analyzed. The soil properties were measured at three tillage depths and four irrigation application rates. The obtained results showed a reduction in both EC and pH and increase in both total porosity and hydraulic conductivity with increasing tillage depth. Therefore, the study recommended a deep tillage and water application not less than field capacity to improve soil properties and increase soil hydraulic conductivity and, hence, enhance leaching salts in the clay saline soil, especially, from the surface layers.","PeriodicalId":355116,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Soil Science","volume":"212 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132149069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They represent two sites irrigated with sewage effluent. Twelve soil profiles as well as eleven water samples were collected by using Global Position System (GPS). Soil samples were obtained to represent two depths: i.e. surface (0-30 cm) and sub-surface (30-60 cm). Water samples were collected at the vicinity of sampled soil. Physical and chemical characteristics of the collected 24 soil samples and 11 water samples were determined. Cluster analysis was performed on effluent and surface soil analytical data separately. Spatial distribution based on GIS images was produced using the inverse distance weighted (IDW) feature in Arc-GIS 10.4 software. According to ECw and SAR values, the water sources in two sites are of a reasonable quality that can be used for irrigation with few restrictions . It is noteworthy that, although most macro, micro-nutrients and ionic contents are relatively high in the two sites as compared to the fresh irrigation water, yet their levels are still within the recommended maximum limits of Egyptian code and world water. Cluster analysis (CA) of the effluents’ analytical data (excluding TDS) at each domain is depicted for Abu Rawash and Arab Abu Saed. For both areas, two predominant clusters were present. Cluster (1) combine elements: P, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, B and Pb. This interrelationship may infer that these elements were of a similar origin not natural. The cluster of Abu Rawash soils K + , Zn -- , CaCO 3 ,Cu and pH infer to K, Zn and Cu elements are related to CaCO 3 ; while, N, SO 4-- , Cl - ,HCO 3- , Na + , Ca ++ , Mg ++ , silt, sand ,depth and SP refer to the relation of soluble ions with soil characteristics. In Arab Abu Saed cluster soils Zn, Mn, clay, pH, and SAR infer to Zn and Mn elements are related to clay; However, SO 4-- , Cl - , Na + , Ca ++ , Mg ++ , HCO 3- refer to the relation of soluble ions with soil characteristics. Also, N, P, K, Fe, Zn and Mn are more associated with the proportions of silt, clay, CaCO 3 and, to a lesser extent, with the SAR and pH value. The soils in Abu Rawash area are older than the soils in Arab Abu Saed area, therefore soil dismantling event in Abu Rawash area due to frequent service processes. In Abu Rawash site, the spatial distribution pattern of the available of N, K, Mn, Cu, B, Co, Cr, Ni and Pb are generally similar, with elevated levels in the eastern side which may be affected by El-Muhit drain . In Arab Abu Saed site, the higher values of major elements (P, Fe, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb) were concentrated mostly in the northern and north western side near the sources of effluent. These observations clearly demonstrated that near El-Saff drain plays a key role in the pollutants distribution in this areas .","PeriodicalId":355116,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Soil Science","volume":"554 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115197942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A pot experiment was conducted using two the soils and two types of geotextiles (cotton and polyester) plus compost. Two methods of application have been tested (layering and mixing) under different amounts of irrigation water (100, 80 and 60% of field capacity) compared to the soil received no treatments (control) The results indicated that, all treatments resulted in reducing soil pH, where the highest decreases were recorded in the soil received compost and the lowest were resulted from polyester application. In both sandy and clay soil, EC, OM and CEC values were increased with all additives in two application methods under the three irrigation levels compared to the control treatment. The highest increases of OM and CEC were recorded in the soil treated with compost, while the polyester addition was the lowest. Wide range of fresh and dry matter yield of sorghum plants were observed, where the highest values of both fresh and dry weights were found with compost treatment followed by cotton application. At the three irrigation levels on sandy and clay soils, the method of mixed addition resulted in high fresh and dry weights of sorghum plants compared to the the layer addition.
