Prevalence of intestinal parasites and its impact on nutritional status among preschool children living in Damanhur City, El-Behera Governorate, Egypt.

This cross sectional study was done in Damanhur City, the Capital of El-Behera Governorate to detect the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among preschool aged children and to find out its effect on their nutritional status. Five-hundreds children aged between 2-6 years were enrolled; a detailed questionnaire, complete clinical and anthropometric assessment as well as complete stool analysis and blood picture were done. The study revealed that 51.8% preschool children were infected; Cysts of Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia were found in 16.8%, and 14.8% respectively. In 1.8% of cases, both cysts were found together. Ova of Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Ancylostoma duodenale and Hymenolepis nana were detected in 14%, 3.4%, 5% & 0.2% of cases, respectively. In 0.4% of cases, ova of A. lumbricoides and E. vermicularis were found together. Mixed infections were found in 3.6% of children. Significantly lower weight for age z-score (WAZ) and weight for height z-score (WHZ) were found among infested children compared to non-infested ones (P < 0.05). Moreover, stunting was found in 44.1%, underweight in 39.1% and wasting in 11.5% of infested children. Prevalence of anemia among all studied population was 39%; 48.6% in infested group compared to 28.8% in non-infested children (x = 20, P < 0.001). Improper hand washing, and playing in the street bare footed, together with playing with animals and family history of parasitic infestation were considered the independent predictors of parasitic infestation by using binary logistic regression.

Effect of Sprinkler Irrigation Systems and Irrigation Frequency on Water Use Efficiency and Economical Parameters for Wheat Production

As for population of more than 90 million, Egypt cannot meet its need for food as adequate water is not available for crop production .So to identify and adopt measures that will reduce water use and increase crop production, this study was conducted in farmers' fields during 2009/2010-2010/2011to evaluate the water use efficiency and economic viability of sprinkler irrigation system for growing wheat crop. Two field experiments were conducted in the Research and Production Station of the National Research Centre in El-Nubaria El-Behera Governorate. The water-use characteristics of wheat were studied in the field under sprinkler irrigation system. Treatments consisted of two sprinkler irrigation systems, solid set sprinklers (S1) and hand move laterals (S2), and three irrigation frequencies (IF1: once per week; IF2: twice per week, IF3: three times per week). Total irrigation amount values varied from 3924.373 to 4081.3 m

Identification of Some Rice Genotypes Resistant to Blast Disease in Egypt

Blast disease caused byPyricularia oryzae, is the most important disease of rice in Egypt and in the world. Field surveys in main production regions, revealed that the highest disease incidence was recorded i n El-Behera Governorate. Seven rice cultivars were screened for resistance to blast disease. Resistance to disease was studied under both artificially and naturally with local pathogen. A bioassay was developed based on (0 -9) scale, Area Under theDisease Progress Curve (AUDPC), disease area and sporulation. Differential expression to pathogen was observed between cultivars. Among seven cultivars, Sakha 101 and Sakha 103were highly resistant and Giza 175 and Giza 178 were highlysusceptible to threestrains of fungusP. oryzae. Meanwhile other lines showed moderate resistance and susceptible. At the same time there were great differences concerning the growth rate and yield between different rice cultivars.

Assessment of Microbiological Quality of Yoghurt Sold in El-Behera Governorate

A total of fifty random samples of yoghurt collected from vendors and wholesale markets in El-Behera Governorate to assess their microbiological quality. The pH was determined and microbiological assessments were conducted in order to ascertain, the Coliforms count, Enterococci count, Staphylococcus aureus count and yeast count and mould count in the samples. The results revealed that the mean values of pH was 4.06 ± 0.068, the mean value of coliform, Enterococci, Staphylococcus aureus, yeast and mould counts were 5.6 x 104 ± 3.68 x 10 3, 5.8 x 104 ± 5.43 x 103, 5.5 x 104 ± 3.45 x 103, 5.6 x 104 ± 4.9 x103 and 5.3 x 104 ± 3.33 x103 respectively, with respective incidences of 58, 42, 28 and 40%. The findings suggest that the yogurt traded in whole sale market in El-Behera governorate has poor microbiological quality control. This poses danger to public health. Therefore, attention of the appropriate government agencies and manufacturers is needed to ensure that sale of yogurt by vendors is done in most appropriate condition and in a mobile refrigerator to maintain adequate temperature, thereby reduce contamination.

The Role of Humic Acid and Proline on Growth, Chemical Constituents and Yield Quantity and Quality of Three Flax Cultivars Grown under Saline Soil Conditions

In order to mitigate the salinity effects on flax grown on moderate saline sandy soil (3275 - 3430 ppm) and irrigated with moderate saline water (2300 - 2460 ppm) field experiments were carried out at the experimental Station of the Faculty of Agriculture, Wadi El-Natrun district El-Behera Governorate—Egypt, during two successive winter seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014. Three flax varieties (Opal, Giza-8 and Mayic) were grown and treated with some chemical additives humic acid (50 kg/fed) and/or foliar applied proline (Control, 50 and 100 mg/L). The results showed the positive responses of Giza-8 variety to the combined application of humic acid and proline and mitigated the salinity effects of soil and irrigation water and reflected on most of the studied characters. Such results indicate the potentiality of mitigation the hazardous effect of salinity with these chemical additives. The data indicated that the highest seed yield, straw yield and oil yield were obtained at humic acid (50 kg/fed) with foliar treatment of proline at rate of (100 mg/L). The interaction of proline at (100 mg/L) with humic acid at rate of (50 kg/fed) improved plant fresh and dry weight in all flax cultivars under salinity conditions. Fresh weight increased by 66.6%, 48.7% and 65.5% over controls for Opal, Giza-8 and Mayic varieties, respectively. The interaction of proline at (100 mg/L) with humic acid at rate of (50 kg/fed) with Giza-8 variety gave the highest values of seed yield, straw yield and oil yield.

Significance of Some Soil Amendments and Phosphate Dissolving Bacteria to Enhance the Availability of Phosphate in Calcareous Soil

A field experiment was carried-out on a private farm at the Salah El-Din village, El-Bostan district, Nobaria, El-Behera Governorate, Egypt. The aim of this study was to evaluate the best combination of rock phosphate (RP), sulphur (S), organic manure, and phosphate dissolving bacteria (PDB) inoculation to enhance the availability of phosphorous from rock phosphate and their effects on yield of broad bean plants (cv. Luz doe Otono L.). It was found that either sulphur application or PDB inoculation with RP had a significant effect on broad bean yield and its quality. Application of RP and different soil amendments individually or together increased N, P, and K contents in straw and seeds of broad bean plant. The highest contents of the studied nutrients were found when the plants were fertilized by a mixture of RP and different soil amendments. Results also showed the important role of organic matter, sulphur, and PDB for releasing phosphorus from rock phosphate. The combination of soil amendments with RP as a natural P-source, has the possibility of saving significant quantities of industrialized inorganic phosphate fertilizers.

Evaluation of five sugar beet varieties for root-knot nematode and root-rot fungal infection

Survey results during 2010–2011 season revealed that the Meloidogyne spp., Helico–tylenchus spp. and Tylenchorhynchus spp. were the common plant parasitic nematodes in the rhizospheres of sugar beet in El-Behera, El-Fayoum and Beni Sueif Governorates. Aspergillus spp., Aspergillus niger, Fusarium spp., Penicillium spp., Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium citrinum, Rhizoctonia spp., Rhizopus nigricans, Trichoderma spp. and others were also the common fungi in the same rhizospheres. The rhizosphere of El-Behera Governorate was highly infected with Meloidogyne spp., Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia spp., compared to the rhizospheres of El-Fayoum and Beni Sueif, respectively. Evaluation of five of sugar beet cultivars, viz. Chems, Dema-Poly, DS 9001, Manila and Ras-Poly to infection, with Meloidogyne incognita (root-knot nematode), Fusarium solani and Rhizoctonia solani (root rot disease) was carried out under naturally field infection condition in the Nubariya region, Behera Governorate during 2011–2012 season. Host susceptibility rating revealed that the varieties of Ras-Poly, DS 9001 and Manila can be considered as susceptible, while the varieties of Dema-Poly and Chems can be considered as highly susceptible. Pathological results showed that the varieties of Dema-Poly and Ras-Poly were highly infected with F. solani, while not infected with R. solani. The varieties of DS 9001, Manila and Chems were moderately infected with the two pathogens.

Wintering Map for Honey Bee Colonies in El-Behera Governorate, Egypt by using Geographical Information System (GIS)

The geographical information system (GIS) has been used successfully in many studies to solve apicultural problems. The winter season is considered as a challenge for honey bee colonies due to the cold weather which cause the forfeiture of many colonies. The good wintering of honey bee colonies depends mainly on the wintering regions and beekeeping practices. To identify the suitable regions for colonies wintering at El-Behera governorate, different datasets were prepared and spatially analyzed by using ArcGIS. The input datasets were temperature, distance from roads, distance from plants, land cover, slope and precipitation. Two wintering maps were created; all the datasets were combined at the same weight in one map and at different weights in the other map. The two maps showed similarities in their spatial outputs. The suitable areas for colonies wintering were successfully identified. The spatial statistical analysis showed significant differences between the suitable regions and the unsuitable regions. The described model in the present research can be applied elsewhere for the successful identification of suitable wintering regions.

Using Geographical Information System (GIS) and Satellite Remote Sensing for Understanding the Impacts of Land Cover on Apiculture over Time

The development of apiculture is strongly related to the suitable land cover, mainly the availability of honey plants. The land cover is not stable over time due to the human activities. The honey yield per honey bee colony has been reduced greatly in El-Behera Governorate, Egypt over time. The decline in the cultivated areas is considered to be the main cause for the low honey yield. In this research, the land cover changes were investigated during a long period of time from 1970s till 2000s to understand the possible roles of the land cover changes on apiculture and low honey yield. The GIS and Landsat satellite images in combination with Google Earth historical images were used for land cover change analysis. The obtained results showed a relative increase in the cultivated areas over time with approximately the presence of the same plant types. Therefore, the low honey production can not be explained by the decline in the cultivated areas.

EFFECT OF IRRIGATION WATER AMOUNTS AND NITROGEN RATES ON OPTIMUM MAIZE YIELD AND NET RETURN UNDER DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTUM AT NORTHWEST DELTA, EGYPT

Two field experiments were carried out at Elnatron, El-Behera Governorate, Wady Elnatron located in the west desert near the Delta about 90 kilometers north west of Cairo, during 2008 and 2009 seasons to study the effect of irrigation water amounts and nitrogen rates on maize yield and the net return from these treatments under drip irrigation system. Split plot design was used with four replicates. The main plots were assigned by four irrigation water amounts (100 %, 90 %, 80 % and 70 %) of evapotranspiration (ETc). The sub-plots were randomly assigned by four nitrogen rates (zero, 50, 100 and 150 kg N fed.-1) as ammonium nitrate (ha = 2.4 fed.). The other recommended agriculture practices were done. Four polynomial quadratic equations were established to show the following results: 1. The maximum and optimum N rates (Xm and Xopt) were increased by decreasing irrigation water amounts from 100% to 70% of ETc in the two seasons. 2. The maximum and optimum maize yields (Ym and Yopt) were decreased by decreasing irrigation water amounts from 100% to 70% of ETc in the two seasons. 3. The highest maximum yield (4.307 ton fed.-1), the highest total value of yield (6394.5 L.E fed.-1) and the highest return of N fertilizer (1744.5 LE fed.-1) were obtained with 100 % of ETc used in the two seasons. 4. The efficiencies of N rates (eX) were decreased by increasing N rates from N0 to N1, N2 and N3, respectively with different irrigation water amounts. 5. The relative efficiency (EX), the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer at optimum rate (eXopt) and the efficiency of soil nitrogen (eXs) were decreased as irrigation water amounts decreased. 6. The soil nitrogen content during plant growth (Xs) was decreased as irrigation water amounts decreased. 7. The contribution of soil N was decreased as irrigation water amounts decreased in the two seasons. 8. The contribution of N fertilizer was increased by increasing N levels in the two seasons.

DEVELOPMENT OF THRESHING SYSTEM IN COMBINE HARVESTER FOR IMPROVING OF ITS PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY IN RICE THRESHING

The combine (Class Crop Tiger) which was used in the present study is middle size (2.10 m cutting width). The axial flow drum was used in this combine. Separation wings were parallel with its axis. So, some improvements could be added to the axial-flow threshing/separating drum to improve the straw flow to reduce blockage, loss and to improve field efficiency and grain yield. So, improving the performance of combine machines during the harvesting operation of cereal crops is important to minimize both grain losses and operational costs. The main experiments were carried out at Ahmed Ramie Farm, Etai Al Barod, El-Behera Governorate, in order to compare four different types of threshing and separation drums of combine. The experiments were conducted in productive rice crop, variety (Giza 171) in an area of about 4.10 feddans. Specifications of threshing and separation drum before and after development: 1- Design and fabricate three serrated agitator ledge (15, 10 and 7 teeth), so that the passing crop and separation will be easy. 2- The length of threshing and separation is 180 cm, it consists three parts, the first part of the threshing section length 57.5 cm, the second part of the separation section length 90.5 cm, it change the separation section length to 110.5 cm to increase the grain separation efficiency and the third part of the straw exit section length to 22 cm. 3- The thickness of the separation vane to be 5nm instead of 3.5 min. 4- Using steel 60 to overcome the wear of vanes during the separation operation. Using three levels of cylinder speed as 500, 630 and 803 rpm (17.0, 21.4 and 27.3 m/s, adjusting the cylinder-concave clearance by using three levels of clearance namely 12.5/5.5, 13/6 and 16/7 n, and using two levels of feeding rate 2000 and 3000 kg/h. The results showed that: 1- The total grain losses decreased by decreasing both of the feed, rate, operating forward speed, threshing drum speed and the cylinder-concave clearance. 2- The threshing efficiency increased by decreasing the feed rate and operating forward speed, and it decreased by decreasing threshing drum speed, increasing the cylinder-concave clearance. 3- The grain quality increased by decreasing the feed rate, operating forward speed and threshing drum speed, and it decreased by decreasing the cylinder-concave clearance. 4- The cleaning efficiency increased by decreasing the feed rate, operating forward speed and threshing drum speed, and it decreased by increasing the cylinder-concave clearance. 5- The highest values of the actual field capacity at the feed rate 200kg/h/operating forward speed of 1.22 km/h/grain moisture content 21%, threshing drum speed of 500 rpm (17 m/s) and the cylinder-concave clearance (C1) of 12.5/5.5mm, was found to be as the developed rotor 7 teeth (0.489 fed/h), the develop rotor 10 teeth (0.473 fed./h), the developed rotor 15 teeth (0.460 fed./h) and the original rotor 15 teeth (0.42g fed./h). 6- The least values of the required energy at the feed rate of 2000 kg/h, operating forward speed of 1.22 km/h/grain moisture content of 21%, threshing drum speed of 500 rpm (17 m/s) and the cylinder-cancer clearance (C1) of 12.5/5.5 mm, was found to be as the developed rotor 7 teeth (30.186 kw.h/fed.), the developed rotor 10 teeth (34.600 kw.h/fed.), the developed rotor 15 teeth (41.159 kw.h/fed.) and the original rotor 15 teeth (51.613 kw.h/fed.). 7- The least values of the operating costs at the feed rate of 2000 kg/h, operating forward speed of 1.22 km/h/grain moisture content of 21%, threshing drum speed of 500 rpm (17 m/s) and the cylinder. Concave clearance (c1) of 12.5/5.5 mm, was found to be as the developed rotor 7 teeth (223.50 LE/fed.), the developed rotor 10 teeth (240.50 LE/fed.), the developed rotor 15 teeth (270.25 LE/Fed.) and the original rotor 15 teeth (314.75 LE/fed.). 8- The better results were reached under operating conditions was found to be as threshing drum speed of 500 rpm, feed rate of 2000 kg/h, operating forward speed of 1.22 km/h, cylinder-concave clearance of C, (12.5/5.5 mm) at grain moisture content of 21% was found to be as the developed rotor (7 teeth), whereas the total grain losses of 1.68%, required energy of 30.186 kw.h/fed., operating costs of 223.50 LE, fed., threshing efficiency of 99.34%, separation efficiency of 99.27% and, cleaning efficiency of 99.71%.

AMELIORATING CALCAREOUS SOIL PROPERTIES AND AGRICULTURE METHODS FOR ACHIEVING THE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE ASPECT

The main objective of this investigation was to ameliorate calcareous soil properties, i.e., some hydrophysical and chemical properties of the sandy loam soil by using organic manure, i.e., composted rice straw at rate of 7.87 Mg f-1 +50%NPK and chicken manure at rate of 4.08 Mg f-1 +50%NPK as well as applying some agriculture methods, i.e., lines and prose for achieving the sustainable agriculture aspect. The field experiments were conducted in private farm of El Nubaria area, El-Behera Governorate, Egypt. Yield of wheat crop as well as the concentrations of micronutrient in straw and grains was determined. Application of either composted rice straw or chicken manure significantly improved the hydrophysical properties of the tested soil, i.e., bulk density, total porosity, pore size distribution, soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity. Composted rice straw has a preference to improve the hydrophysical properties compared to chicken manure. In addition, methods of agriculture treatments had no significant effect on soil hydrophysical properties.Concerning the effect of organic fertilizers application along with applying lines agriculture on pH, ECe, OM and CaCO3 content and chemically available Fe, Mn, zn and Cu in the cultivated soil, chicken manure was better than composted rice straw. Grain and straw yields of wheat plants as well as concentrations of Fe, Mn, zn and Cu in straw or in grains of wheat were significantly increased due to organic fertilizers application and use of lines agriculture methods. Lines agricultural method gave 5.70 % greater grain yield and 3.54 % straw yield over the prose agricultural method. Lines methods emphasized the role of applied organic manure on improving soil properties and consequently, increasing the availability of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in the calcareous soil. Where, lines agriculture method was the best treatments compared to prose method, which reduces the growth of roots and plant. In general, the study recommends using the chicken manure (4.08 Mg f-1+50% NPK recommended rate) or composted rice straw (7.87 Mg f-1+ 50% NPK recommended rate) with lines agriculture methods, which will give better results in increasing the productivity of calcareous soils. Thus, these treatments can replace entirely or partially N, P and K mineral fertilizers, which reduce production costs and conserve the environment from chemical pollution hazards on human and animal health.

INFLUENCE OF IRRIGATION WATER AMOUNTS AND NITROGEN RATES ON MAIZE PRODUCTIVITY AND SOME WATER RELATIONS IN WADI ELNATROON REGION,EGYPT

Two field experiments were carried out at Wady Elnatroon, El-Behera governorate during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons to study the influence of irrigation water amounts and nitrogen fertilizer rates on maize yield and its components, and on some water relationships under drip irrigation method in the soil. The soil of the field experiments was sandy loam. The electrical conductivity of irrigation water was 1.1 dSm -1 . The treatments were arranged in a split plot design with four replicates. The main plots were assigned with four amounts of irrigation water of daily applied on a base of 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of ETc with four nitrogen rates i.e. zero, 50, 100 and 150 kg N fed. -1 in the sub plots. The combined analysis over the two growing seasons showed that daily irrigation with applied water equals 100% of ETc increased plant height, ear length, number of grains row -1 , 100-grain weight and maize grain yield by 3.33, 7, 15.25, 6.19 and 37.25% as compared to daily irrigation with applied water equals 70% of ETc. Daily irrigation with applied water equals 100% of ETc, significantly increased N, P and K concentration in Zea maize plants and grains by (36.9, 21.2 and 9.8%) and (23.5, 21.2 and 18.5%) as compared to daily irrigation with applied water equals 70% of ETc, respectively. Increasing nitrogen rates up to 150 kg N fed. -1 significantly increased plant height by 5%, ear length by 5.9%, number of grains row -1 by 8.4%, 100-grain weight by 10.1% and maize grain yield by 47.25% as compared to the control treatment. Seasonal water use values were 52.93, 47.93, 42.8 and 38.68cm for irrigated plants with 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of ETc, respectively. Daily irrigation with applied water equals 100% of ETc resulted in higher amount of irrigation water applied to be 59.5 cm, followed by daily irrigation with applied water equals 90%, 80%, and 70% of ETc to be 53.5 cm, 47.6 cm, and 41.6 cm, respectively. Daily irrigation with 90% of ETc resulted in the highest value of water productivity as compared to 100%, 80% and 70% of ETc. It could be concluded that for obtaining both high and good maize yield and facing the irrigation water shortage, daily irrigation with 90% of ETc must be added with 150 kg N fed -1 under the sand loam soil in Wady El-Natron region and in the same conditions.

POTENTIAL PRODUCTIVITY OF CUCUMBER AS AFFECTED BY IRRIGATION WATER AMOUNTS AND NITROGEN FERTILIZATION UNDER DRIP IRRIGATION AT NORTHWEST DELTA, EGYPT

Two field experiments with cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L.; var. Prince) were carried out during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons on sandy loam soil, at Wady Elnatroon, El-Behera governorate in Northwest Delta to investigate the most suitable irrigation water amount and nitrogen rates for cucumber grown under drip irrigation method. The treatments were arranged in a split plot design with four replicates. Four amounts of irrigation water were daily applied on a base of 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of ETc with four nitrogen rates i.e. control, 50, 100 and 150 kg N fed-1. Chief results indicated that cucumber yield were 18.357, 17.474, 14.660 and 12.820 ton fed.-1 with irrigation water quantities 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of ETc, respectively. Irrigation with 100% of ETc and fertilized with 150 kg N produced the highest fruit yield (23.221 ton fed-1.), while, the lowest fruit yield (8.003 ton fed-1.), obtained from control treatment which irrigated with 70% of ETc. The highest value of nitrogen use efficiency (147.54 kg fruits kg-1 applied N) was obtained under treatments of 100% of ETc with 50 kg N fed.-1. While, the lowest value (9.30 kg fruits kg-1 applied N) was obtained from 70% of ETc with 150 kg N fed.-1. Amounts of irrigation water applied were 50.00, 45.24, 40.48 and 35.71 cm for 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of ETc, respectively. Seasonal water consumption of cucumber was 44.54, 40.16, 35.96 and 32.08 cm for irrigation treatments irrigated with 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of ETc, respectively. Irrigation with 90% of ETc enhanced crop growth and field water use efficiency of cucumber plants as compared to other treatments. It could be concluded for obtaining a good cucumber yield and facing the irrigation water shortage, daily irrigation with 90% of ETc must be added with 150 kg N fed-1.

Biosafety Against Fungal Contamination of Hen's Eggs and Mycotoxins Producing Species

. In the present work one hundred random hen's eggs were collected from a poultry farm at El-Behera Governorate, Egypt for detection of fungal contamination and mycotoxins production and evaluation of the sanitary conditions of the farm. The obtained results proved that (38%) of the examined eggs were contaminated with moulds species with a count ranging from 11 to 17×103 cfu/g and a mean value of 3.4 ×103/g. The isolated moulds species were identified into Aspergillus (14%), Penicillium (9%), Fusarium (1%), Mucor (6%), Rhizopus (4%) and Cladosporium spp. (5%). The genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium spp. were further identified into Asp. flavus, Asp. niger and Asp. fumegatus, P. oxalicum and P. regulosum and Fusarium graminarium. The isolated mould species were screened for mycotoxins production under laboratory circumstances. The obtained results showed that (10.25%) of the previous mould species were able to produce mycotoxins in synthetic media. Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 were produced by two strains of Asp. flavus in total concentrations of 1.3 and 1.5 µg/g mycelia, respectively. T2-toxin was produced by one strain of Penicillium regulosum with concentration 0.072 µg/g mycelia; while Zearalenon toxin was produced by one strain of Fusarium graminarium in a concentration of 0.146 µg/g mycelia. The dangerous role of contaminated hen's eggs by mould species at poultry farm, as well as, the public health hazard and the high economic losses have been discussed. Great attention for the prophylactic and control measures that should be adopted in the poultry farm to overcome these problems and achieve the consumer safety has been recommended.
