Two kinds of phosphate solubilization bacteria (PSB), ( Lysinibacillus boronitolerans and Bacillus megatherium ) were used to reach this target. The greatest significant results of labile P % in soil were obtained by employing a 75% P with ( L. boronitolerans ) treatment and 75% P with ( B. megatherium + L. boronitolerans ) treatment. The combine (B. megatherium and L. boronitolerans ) treatments with (P 50 ) or (P 75 ) were superior in increasing labile phosphorus compared to other treatment alone. The results revealed that (PSB) treatments and also P rates affect significantly soil pH values compared to control where the highest pH decrease was showed in soil treated with combine (PSB) treatment either with (P 50 ), or (P 75 ). L. boronitolerans produced acidic phosphatase enzyme and produced alkaline phosphatase enzyme. B. megatherium doesn't produced acidic phosphatase enzyme, but produced alkaline phosphatase enzyme.

This experiment was designed and arranged in a complete randomized block design with three replicates per treatment and one “Taimour” mango tree per each. The selected trees (30) received thrice sprays with NAA before flowering, during full bloom, and after fruit set; meanwhile, Fulvic acid was sprayed thrice (before flowering, after fruit set, and one month later). Enhancements in leaf area, chemical composition, fruit retention percentage, yield, and fruit quality materially accompany single and combined applications with the abovementioned concentrations. A significant decline in the percentages of titratable acidity was observed due to the application of the present treatments. Using Fulvic acid was more effective than NAA for enhancing leaf area and its chemical composition. Moreover, using NAA was superior than using Fulvic acid in terms of improving yield, fruit quality, and fruit retention percentage. Using a combination of both materials was preferable to using them separately. The highest values among all parameters were achieved by spraying \"Taimour\" mango trees with 3000 ppm Fulvic acid + 45 ppm NAA followed by 2000 ppm Fulvic acid+ 30 ppm NAA in the three experimental seasons compared with control and other treatments. It can be concluded that foliar application of 3000 ppm Fulvic acid+ 45 ppm NAA is useful in improving the vegetative growth and nutritional status of \"Taimour\" mango trees and produces a high yield with good fruit quality under Sohag Governorate conditions.","PeriodicalId":7560,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Science Exchange Journal","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79616890","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}

Farmers complaints about lack of effectiveness of the agricultural cooperatives is a popular debate in Egypt. The main objective of this study is to quantity an effectiveness measure taking into consideration the points of views of the farmers and the cooperative managers. The agricultural cooperatives located in Nasr Canal Command Area of New Nubariya of Egypt are surveyed via personal interviews. Six cooperative managers and two hundred farmers are interviewed face to face. In assessing effectiveness, the study has extended and modified the Robert Elkin and Mark Molitor model. The effectiveness measure modifications resulted in having a measure of the organization’s degree of effectiveness of agricultural cooperatives through the estimation of four indicators: capital (four items), human resources (four items), administrative (four items), and the cooperative objectives fulfillment (fifteen items). Results show overall effectiveness levels below average with ratios of 42.81% and 46.92% for farmers and managers, respectively.
