The integration of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques was used to perform this work. This work could be presented important information about the potentiality of these soils for proper plans of reclamation, improvement and management. The geomorphic map produced using RS and GIS technology indicated that, there are three identified and interpreted geomorphic units in this area. These units are Low Terraces, Moderate Terraces and High Terraces. Fourteen soil profiles were selected representing these geomorphic units. The land and site features are observed and registered. Profiles were morphologically described, and then samples were collected representing the subsequent layers in each profile for integrated physical and chemical analyses. The elevation of the studied profiles varied between 14 and 52 m. that increased from the Low Terraces to the High ones. The soils have almost flat to gently undulating topography with gentle sloping. All studied soils are deep and characterized as freely well drained. These soils have almost slightly to gravelly loamy sand texture with rapid hydraulic conductivity. The soils have mainly weak granular to subangular structure and some layers have single grains. The most of studied soils are virgin without or with scanty vegetation. The morphological rating scale (relative distinctness of horizons \"RHD\" and relative profile development \"RPD\") indicates a slight distinctness between horizons which mainly attributed to the depositional pattern and /or regimes of soil materials more than development. The analytical data of the studied soils revealed that, the soil reaction is slightly alkaline. All the studied soils are non-saline and not sodic. The soils differ from slightly to strongly calcareous according their CaCO3 content. Organic matter (OM) and gypsum were low. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) was also low due to the low content of fine fractions and OM in these soils. The studied soils haven't any diagnostic horizons, therefore they were classified up to sub great group level under Entisols order mainly as Typic Torripsaments.","PeriodicalId":355116,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Soil Science","volume":"57 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126000835","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}

Proper design of such system is the milestone for up-grading and improving surface irrigation as for other irrigation systems. In this regard, the said Soil Conservation Service (S.C.S) developed by the soil reclamation bureau, USA was the used tool in the evaluating and assessment of the implemented or the practiced parameters, which executed in cotton furrow irrigation system design in the Northern Nile Delta area. The field trial was conducted during the two growing summer cotton seasons 2017 and 2018 at the experimental farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station, North Nile Delta area. Combined effects of different land leveling (i.e. traditional, precession (dead level =zero level), 0.05 and 0.10%) and irrigation inflow rates. (2.0, 2.7 and 3.3 Lps/m widths) were used. The stated treatments were implemented at fixed furrow length and width of 40.0 m and 0.75 m. respectively. The comparing elements between design created by SCS and the actual practiced measures were: furrow inflow rate (Lps/m), irrigation time (min.), advance time (min.), recession time (min.), opportunity time (min.), depth applied (mm), deep percolation (mm), deep percolation ratio and irrigation application efficiency (IAE).Moreover, extensive economic evaluation was done regarding seed cotton yield, total return, benefit/cost ratio and the specific cost. Analysis of obtained data revealed that application efficiency is acceptable for inflow rate at 2.0 Lps/m width along with precession land leveling of 0.05 or 0.10%, providing the importance of using SCS in design furrow irrigation system in the clayey soils at North Nile Delta.

The objective was to study the effect of five regulated deficit irrigation treatments [I 1 = No stress at all physiological stages, I 2 = skip irrigation at the beginning of development stage (60 days from sowing), I 3 = skip irrigation during development stage (90 days from sowing), I 4 = skip irrigation at mid season (120 days from sowing) and I 5 = skip irrigation at late season (150 days from sowing)], and four rates of boron fertilizer applied as boric acid,[B 1 = Without B (control), B 2 = 0.5 kg B/fed, B 3 = 0.75 kg B/fed, and B 4 = 1.0 kg B/ fed] on sugar beet yield and quality, amounts of applied irrigation water and water utilization efficiency. The results showed that irrigation treatments and boron rates had a significant effect on root, shoot and sugar yields. The obtained results indicated that the reductions in root yield were 9.55, 6.43, 5.58 and 0.84 t/fed, while for sugar yields were 1.89, 1.34, 1.22 and 0.10 t/fed for I 2 , I 3 , I 4 and I 5 , respectively compared to no stress treatment. The results showed that the combined effect of irrigation treatment I 1 (no stress at all stages) and boron fertilizer rate B 2 (0.5 kg B/fed) gave the highest average values of root yield (35.041 t/fed) and sugar yield (6.315 t/fed) over the two seasons. On the other hand the average amount of applied irrigation values were 2145, 1929, 1822, 1858 and 1895 m 3 /fed for the I 1 , I 2 , I 3 , I 4 and I 5 irrigation treatments, respectively. Likewise, the highest average water utilization efficiency for sugar beet root and sugar yields of 16.523 kg root/m 3 water applied and 2.951 kg sugar/m 3 water applied were obtained with the irrigation treatment I 5 (skip irrigation at late season stage) and boron fertilizer B 3 (0.75 kg B/ fed) over two seasons. It could be maintained herein that the no stress irrigation water I 1 , with 0.75 kg B/fed treatment achieved the highest yield of sugar beet (root and sugar) of the availability of sufficient irrigation water. Otherwise it is suggested to follow the irrigation treatment I 5 (no irrigation at late season) and applying boron fertilizer at rate of 0.75 kg B/fed obtain high sugar beet yields.","PeriodicalId":355116,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Soil Science","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131816361","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}

High hazard of compaction covered the total area as a result of human activities along with very high values of physical degradation and low to moderate effects of chemical degradation threaten the studied soils. Anthropogenic factor had a clear impact on processes of land degradation and actual hazard in terms of inadequate soil management, intensive irrigation procedures, using heavy machinery and absence of conservation measures.

The results showed that, compost and the two types of geotextiles appeared an ameliorative effect on the aforementioned parameters, such as slowing down vertical water movement, allowing better horizontal wetting and increasing water maintenance in the soil comparing to control. Both types of geotextiles were better than organic manures (i.e. compost) in many aspects such as their cleanliness, easiness to be packed and transported. These materials normally have not dust, bad smell, herb seeds, nematode or infection with insects or fungi. Natural and synthetic geotextile showed comparative results.
