<strong>Two field experiments were conducted at the </strong><strong>Experimental Farm of Damanhour Faculty of Agriculture, </strong><strong>at El- Boustan, Damanhour University, Egypt during </strong><strong>2003/2004 and 2004/2005 winter growing seasons. This </strong><strong>study aimed to evaluate sixteen bread wheat genotypes </strong><strong>(locals and introductions) for drought tolerance under </strong><strong>newly reclaimed area by two techniques; i.e., the canopy </strong><strong>temperature (Tc) and the excised –leaf water loss </strong><strong>(ELWL); and to compare these techniques with grain </strong><strong>yield and kernel weight susceptibility indices. The study </strong><strong>layout was a split- plot design, with four replicates. Three </strong><strong>soil moisture levels of 25, 55 and 85 % of plant available </strong><strong>water (AW) were allocated to the main-plots, whereas, the </strong><strong>wheat genotypes were randomly assigned to the sub – </strong><strong>plots. </strong><strong>The obtained results showed that Tc ranged from 17.3 </strong><strong>oC, at 85 % AW, to 22.4 oC at 25 %, AW in the first </strong><strong>season, and from 16.7 oC, at 85 % AW,to 18.7 oC at 25 % </strong><strong>AW in the second season. The local cultivar, Sids 7, had </strong><strong>the warmest means of Tc (23.7 oC) and (19.4 oC ) at 25 % </strong><strong>AW in the first and second season, respectively. ELWL </strong><strong>ranged from 58.5%, at 85% AW, to 45.8%, at 25% AW, in </strong><strong>the first seasons, whereas, it ranged from 44.3%, at 85% </strong><strong>AW, to 36.4%, at 25% AW, in the second season. The local</strong><br /><strong>cultivar, Sakha 61, had the minimum means for ELWL </strong><strong>(32.4 %) and (32.8 %) in the first and second seasons,</strong><br /><strong>respectively. </strong><strong>The number of days to both heading and maturity </strong><strong>declined with lowering soil moisture. An average delay of </strong><strong>about three days in both heading and maturity was </strong><strong>recorded between the most abundant soil moisture and the </strong><strong>most stressed level of soil moisture in both seasons. Sakha </strong><strong>61 cultivar was the earliest genotype for heading, in the </strong><strong>first season, and maturity in both seasons, while, Sids 7 </strong><strong>was the earliest genotype for heading, in the second season, </strong><strong>under the least and the most stressed environments. The </strong><strong>average of grain yield for the two growing seasons </strong><strong>significantly decreased from 5.38 tons/ha, in the most </strong><strong>abundant soil moisture of 85 % AW, to 3.84 tons/ha in the </strong><strong>most stressed soil moisture level of 25 % AW. Sakha 69 </strong><strong>local cultivar and introduced Line 7 gave the highest </strong><strong>means for grain yield (5.99 and 6.38 tons/ha ) at 85 % AW </strong><strong>in the first and second seasons, respectively. </strong><strong>Kernel weight significantly decreased from 53.65 mg, </strong><strong>in the most abundant soil moisture of 85% AW, to 46.20 </strong><strong>mg in the most stressed soil moisture level of 25% AW, </strong><strong>over both seasons. The local cultivars, Gemmiza 7 and </strong><strong>Gemmiza 9, recorded the highest means for kernel weight </strong><strong>(59.0 mg) in the first season, while, Sakha 61 recorded the </strong><strong>highest mean 63.3 mg in the second season at 85% AW. </strong><strong>There was an insignificant negative correlation between </strong><strong>Tc and both grain yield susceptibility index (Sy) and </strong><strong>kernel weight susceptibility index (Sk) in the first season.</strong><br /><strong>However, there was a significant positive correlation, in </strong><strong>the second season, between both (Sk and ELWL) and (Sy </strong><strong>and ELWL), while, there was a nonsignificant correlation </strong><strong>in the first season.</strong>

<strong>Two field experiments were carried out at the Experimental Station Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Damanhour University, El-Bostan Region, El-Behera Governorate, Egypt, during 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 winter growing seasons. This study aimed to invest?tigate the effect of four Egyptian wheat cultivars (Giza 168, Sakha 94, Gemmiza 9 and Sids 1), as well as six intercropping patterns of wheat with faba bean on wheat productivity under sandy soil conditions. The six intercropping patterns were: solid sowing of wheat at the three seeding rates, 300,350 and 400 grains m<sup>-2</sup> and/or intercropped with Sakha1 faba bean cultivar by (1:1) alternate rows, 20 cm apart. A split-plot design with four replications was used in each experiment. The wheat cultivars occupied the main plots while, the intercropping patterns were arranged in the sub-plots. The most important obtained results can be summarized as follows: </strong><strong>Wheat cultivars were significantly different in most studied traits, except for plant height, biological yield ha<sup>-1</sup>, straw yield ha<sup>-1</sup> and harvest index (%) traits, in both seasons. Giza 168 cultivar surpassed the other three studied cultivars in grain yield ha<sup>-1</sup> and its components in terms of spike length (cm), number of grains spike<sup>-1</sup>, number of spikes m<sup>-2</sup>and 1000-grain weight (g), in both studied seasons. </strong><strong>The solid plantings of wheat had the highest significant means of grain yield ha<sup>-1</sup> and its studied components in terms of spike length (cm), number of spikelets spike<sup>-1</sup>, number grains spike<sup>-1</sup>, number of spikes m<sup>-2</sup>, biological yield ha<sup>-1</sup>, straw yield ha<sup>-1</sup> and 1000- kernel weight (g), in both seasons, compared to intercropping treatments. </strong><strong>Planting wheat solely at the low seeding rate; i.e., 300 grains m<sup>-2</sup> was significantly different compared with the sole wheat plantings, seeded with the higher rates; i.e., 350 plus 400 grains m<sup>-2</sup> for most studied traits, in both seasons, except for spike length, biological yield (in the second season), number of grains spike<sup>-1</sup>, number of spikes m<sup>-2</sup>, straw yield ha<sup>-1</sup>, harvest index (%) and 1000-grain weight (g), in both seasons. On the contrary, plant height character of solid wheat plants (in both seasons) was significantly decreased under the low seeding rate, 300 grains m<sup>-2</sup>, compared to wheat solid planting, but, seeded wheat with the higher seeding rates; i.e., 350 plus 400 grains m<sup>-2</sup>. </strong><strong>All studied traits were not significantly affected (in both seasons) by increasing seeding rates for solid wheat plantings from 350 to 400 grains m<sup>-2</sup>, except for the number of grains spike<sup>-1 </sup>that was significantly decreased from 32.28 to 30.38, averaged in both seasons. </strong><strong>Intercropped wheat, with faba bean by planting wheat at a seed rate of 300 grains m<sup>-2</sup> significantly increased both spike length, from 10.42 to 11.14 cm, and number of spikelets spike<sup>-1</sup>, from 12.44 to 14.17, averaged in the two studied seasons, compared with intercropped wheat with faba bean, but, seeded wheat with the higher seeding rates; i.e., 350 plus 400 grains m<sup>-2</sup>. Regarding the other studied traits, they were statistically similar in both seasons for both treatments. </strong><strong> Intercropped wheat with faba bean by seeded wheat with 400 grains m<sup>-2</sup> insignificantly decreased all studied traits in both seasons, except for both plant height and harvest index, compared with intercropped wheat with faba bean by seeding wheat with 350 grains m<sup>-2</sup>. </strong><strong>A significant interaction was detected between wheat cultivars and intercropping patterns (VxC<sub>1</sub>) for the number of spikelets spike<sup>-1 </sup>and grain yield ha<sup>-1 in the first season. </sup></strong><strong>Intercropping Sakha 1 faba bean cultivar at 166667 plants ha<sup>-1</sup> with Giza 168 wheat cultivar seeded with the rate of 350 grains m<sup>-2 in (1:1) a</sup><sup>lternate rows, 20 cm apart, under El-Bostan Region co</sup><sup>nditions, could be advised to obtain a high productivity of wheat.</sup></strong>

<strong>This study deals with the change in the biodiversity in Uyun Layla lakes during the last 30 years. The study revealed that the aquatic habitat has been altered to terrestrial dry habitat with complete alteration in the type of vegetation covering this area. The vegetation was scanty, poor halophytic species. Only, twelve perennial species were recorded during the studied period which lasts for four years, from October 2006 till May 2010. Three other species were found in the first two years only, </strong><strong><em>Molkiopsis ciliate, Capparis orientalis and Salicornica fruticosa</em></strong><strong>. From this study, we can conclude that the aquatic habitats in Saudi Arabia are in danger and needs further attention, study and preservation. </strong>

<strong>The present study was carried out during three seasons i.e. 2008, 2009 and 2010 on Zaghloul date palms grown in sand silty soil under surface irrigation in new reclaimed land in Mariot sector. The aim of this study was to investigate response of Zaghloul date palms to application of organic and bio nitrogen fertilizers along with mineral N and their combinations (11 treatments). The obtained results indicated that, all studied treatments of mineral, organic and bio nitrogen combinations were effective in improving yield, fruit quality and leaf mineral content compared with those of the control treatment (unfertilized) and 100% mineral nitrogen treatment. It was abvious that, the superior treatment which exerts positive effects on yield/palm, fruit and pulp weight, flesh thickness, TSS%, total and reducing sugars and leaf NPK content was treatment no.10 (25% Min. N + 50% Org. N + Bio. N) followed descendingly with treatment no.3 (50% Min. N + 50% Org. N). In the meantime, both of treatment no.6 (100% Org. N + Bio. N) followed descendingly by treatment no. 10 (above mentioned) were the most effective in inhancing fruit dimensions and leaf Fe, Mn, Zn content.</strong><br /> <strong>It could be concluded that, under the conditions of this study, 25% mineral nitrogen + 50% organic nitrogen + Bio nitrogen treatment was very superior one for minimizing the use of mineral nitrogen fertilization to the quarter, reducing environmental pollution and producing an economical yield with best fruit quality of Zaghloul date palms in new reclaimed lands. </strong>

<strong>Effect of packaging materiales, extraction methods and storage period on some quality of two cultivars of Roselle calyxes extracts has been studied. Dark red and light red Roselle calyxes packed in- low density polyethylene (LDPE) and Glass bottles and stored for eight months at room temperature. Two methods were carried out for preparation of Roselle extract from both dark and light cultivars. Soaking in distilled water or acidic water (2% citric acid) at different temperatures (5, 20, 60 and 100 <sup>0</sup>C) for several periods (1/2 : 24 hrs). The packaging type, cultivars of Roselle, extraction method soaking temperature, soaking period and storage period were highly significant effect for TSS, and anthocyanin, but there are no significant different in pH value with packaging type or extraction method. T.S.S. content was found to be increased by increasing soaking temperature, soaking period and storage period for both dark and light cultivars packed in (LDPE and Glass bottles) and soaked in distilled water or acidic water (2% citric acid). High total soluble solids content was recorded for dark red cultivar packed in low density polyethylene (LDPE) and extracted with acidic water (2% citric acid) at 100 <sup>0</sup>C<sup> </sup>for 90 min.The PH values of Roselle calyxes extract was found to be depending on soaking temperature, soaking period and storge time.The pH value of light Roselle calyxes extract was less than that of dark red Roselle calyxes extract with all treatments. High decreament in pH value of Roselle calyxes extract was recorded for light red cultivar packed in glass bottle and extracted with acidic water (2% citric acid) at 100 <sup>0</sup>C for 90 min. Anthocyanin value increased in Roselle calyxes extracts of both dark and light cultivars with increasing soaking temperature and soaking period in both water or acidic water (2% citric acid) but decreased with increasing storage period. </strong>

<strong>The sugar beet (<em>Beta vulgaris</em>, L) cultivar “Farida” was grown on a clay soil at Water Management Research Station at El-Karada, Kafrelshiekh, Egypt, in 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 seasons, to determine the effect of three irrigation regimes (at 40, 55, 70% depletion of available soil moisture, DAM), two nitrogen rates (75 and 90 kg N/feddan) and four micronutrients treatments (through seed soaking (SS), foliar spraying (FS), (SS+FS) and control) on growth, yields, quality and water relations. Solution of micronutrients contained 2 g from each of Zn SO4 (26% Zn), Mn SO4 (24% Mn), Fe SO4 (20% Fe) and boric acid per liter. </strong><strong>Abundance of the available soil moisture significantly increased dry weight/plant, leaf area index (LAI), root diameter, top yield, crop growth rate (CGR) and water consumptive use (WU). The inverse was true in root/top ratio, root length and concentration of gross sugar in roots. Increasing soil moisture level improved juice purity by decreasing impurities (K, Na and </strong><strong>a</strong><strong>-amino-N) in roots. The plants irrigated at 55% DAM produced the highest net assimilation rate (NAR) and water efficiency use for roots (WUER) and white sugar (WUES) production compared to those irrigated at 40 or 70% DAM. </strong><strong>Increasing nitrogen rate from 75 and 90 kg N/feddan significantly increased dry weight, LAI, CGR, root length, root weight, top yield, root yield, concentration of </strong><strong>a</strong><strong>-amino-N% and Na + K in roots, loss sugar%, sugar yield and WU. The inverse was true in root/top ratio, gross sugar%, white sugar % and juice purity %. Nitrogen rate had slightly effect on WUER and WUES. </strong><strong>Application of micronutrients through seed soaking and foliar spraying (SS+FS) produced the greatest dry weight, root/top ratio, LAI, CGR, root length, root diameter, root weight, top yield, root yield, gross sugar%, white sugar % and juice purity %, sugar yield, WUER and WUES. SS was at par SS+FS in most these traits. FS increased concentration of </strong><strong>a</strong><strong>-amino-N% and Na + K in roots and the most of mentioned traits compared with control. </strong><strong>All interactions had a significant effect on root and white sugar yields/feddan. The maximum root and white sugar yields and the best WUER and WUES were achieved from plants irrigated at 55% DAM and received 90 kg N/feddan along with SS+FS </strong><strong>It can be concluded that the irrigation at 55% DAM along with 90 kg N/feddan and SS+FS or SS was the recommended treatment for optimum root and extractable white sugar yield per unit area with less water consumptive use at Kafrelshiekh Governorate.</strong>

<strong>A field study was carried out during 2008/2009-2009/2010 in Grand Nain (the plantlets developed from local meristems, superior selected from Grand Nain Banana <em>cv.</em>) grown in private orchard at El khtatba, Monofia Governorate, during two successive seasons to determine the Zn and Fe requirements. The plants were received different rates of Zn and Fe fertigation. The rates per plants were ((0.0, 5.4, 10.8 and 21.6 gm/plant) in the form of ZnSO4 and (0.0, 9.0, 18.0, 36.0 gm/plant) actual Fe (EDTA). All considered Zn and Fe rates were applied every month from April till October and were added as solution by fertigation. Results show that, the increasing rates of each fertilizer (Zn and Fe) increased plant height, pseudostem girth, leaves number, leaf area and reduced the number of days taken shooting till flowering. Zn-fertigation had greatest effect on vegetative growth, time to shooting and harvesting. The uppermost Zn level (21.6g./plant) resulted in progressive increase in growth characteristics and yield. Application of (36.0g.Fe/plant) results in a significant increase in growth finger characteristics . Increasing Zn rates raised leaf N, P, K, Zn and Fe. Increasing rate of Fe-fertigation increased leaf N, P, K, Zn and Fe. </strong><strong>Application of 21.6g. Zn/plant and 36.0g.Fe/plant is monthly from April to October recommended for GrandNain banana in sandy soil. </strong>

<strong>Five botanical fine dusts, ash and sulfur powders were tested for their biological performance activity against the </strong><strong>rice weevil </strong><strong><em>Sitophilus oryza. </em></strong><strong>Their toxicities and delayed effect on the treated insect were determined</strong><strong>. The insect was exposed to treated rice grain with each of the evaluated materials and bioassayed for different intervals extended form 3 to 30 days. The insecticidal activity was expressed in terms of the adult insects-mortality due to the contact with the tested materials. The effect of these materials on the inspected damage in rice grains and/or resulted F<em><sub>1</sub></em> progeny post-treatment had been investigated and expressed in terms of productivity inhibition percentage (PIP). </strong><strong>The complete control of treated insects (100% kill) was recorded at the doses of 0.25 and 0.5 g of black pepper fine dust/50 g rice grains after 21 and 14 days post exposure, consequently. Furthermore, at the higher dose of 0.5 g material/50 g rice grains, camphor and black pepper pronounced complete control of the exposed adult-insects giving 100% kill after an exposure period of 30 days, while Latania fine dust was the least efficient tested material. </strong><strong>The results were also confirmed by the deduced dependent positive strong relationship between the recorded insect mortality and the time needed to cause 50 % kill of the exposed insects (LT<sub>50</sub>) at all the different used doses.Based onLT<sub>50</sub> values, the superior insecticidal effect was recorded for black pepper, followed by orange peel, then camphor and the other tested materials. Meanwhile, clove and Lataniafine dusts were the leastefficient materials at all used doses (w/w). </strong><strong>The results proved that camphor fine dust was the most potent material in preventing grains perforation and reducing the damage that can be caused by the adult-weevils of <em>S. oryzae</em> followed by black pepper fine dust. Although, the clove fine dust was less toxic, it showed a potent delayed and completely inhibited the raise of F<em><sub>1</sub></em> progeny post-parents treatment (100%) at its higher tested dose of 0.5 g powder /50 g rice. There was also a good correlation between the insecticidal activity of black pepper fine dust, either picked up or contacted the exposed insects and its effect on prevention or reduction of grains damage and/or its ability in suppressing the raised individuals of F<em><sub>1</sub></em> progeny.</strong>

These molecules reduce surface tension both aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. 45 bacterial strains previously isolated from petrochemical wastes around Oil Refinery Company in Tanta, Al Ggharbiyah, Egypt. Selection and screening of biosurfactant producer(s), via four different biioassays; (i) surface tension measurements, (ii) blood hemolysis test, (iii) drop-collapsing test, and (iv) emulsification test. Two isolates coded 3C.A and C1 respectively were chosen to be the best candidates for biosurfactant production. The highest production of biosurfactants produced by 3C.A isolate grown on medium supplemented with 3g/L ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source and (4%) glucose as carbon source and incubated at 37°C. The biosurfactants were found capable of producing a relatively stable emulsion hydrocarbon at pH 7 and thermostable for 1 hour at 75 °C, based on the value of surface tension. </strong><strong>The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA and physiological characzterization indicated that the isolates of strain 3C.A and C1 as well<em> Bacillus subtilis</em> Eg1 and <em>pseudonamnas sp </em>respectivly.</strong>

<strong>Due to the importance of Maryout region for its potential rehabitation and calcareous soil reclamation, three sites pertaining wide range of soil salinity from 250 to 2.5 dS/m were selected to model salts leaching. In order to obtain a sound basis for field reclamation under different conditions, a leaching experimental model was undertaken laboratorial using three soil columns simulating these three sites which varying mainly in salinity levels to assess the effect of several factors on the effectiveness of salt removal. The experiment was performed twice with and without removal of CaCO<sub>3</sub>. There are four problems were investigated based on the experiment; the evolution of leachates salinity with time, monitoring the changes of ion loses and changes of chemical composition of drained leachates, the effect of leaching process on particle size distribution and fine particles migration at each salinity level, and the probabilities of Calcic horizon formation. Also the study emphasized on the influence of carbonate removal on leachates salinity. </strong><strong>Results showed that the counts of required leachates for salinity minimizing were 20, 15 and 12 with total leachates volume 1552, 1055 and 732 cm<sup>3</sup> during leaching periods (hr:m) 10:48, 7:41 and 5:59, respectively. Soil texture was clay loam (CL) at the first location, clay (C) at the second site except for the middle layer which has sandy clay loam (SCL) texture, while at the third location soil texture was clay loam (CL) at surface and clay (C) at subsurface. Results of particle size distribution indicated that lime removal in general increased percentage of fine particles in contrast in course ones. After leaching of free lime columns fine particles percentages were decreased at surface horizons of extremely and highly saline soils more than slightly saline column. Clay particles immigrated after leaching downward which increase their content at last horizons by 22.7 and 7.1% for first and second columns, respectively. </strong><strong>The electrical conductivity values of the second drained leachate fractions were reduced significantly by about 77.8%, 57.1% and 15.6%, respectively. After the experiment was turned off the stable salinity level for whole leachates were 0.74, 0.44 and 0.16 dSm<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Thus, leaching succeeded in removing about 99.7 %, 98.2 % and 93.6% from the total salt content. Results indicated that the ionic loss was orderly as Na<sup>+</sup>, Cl<sup>-</sup>, Ca<sup>++</sup>, Mg<sup>++</sup> then K<sup>+</sup> in descending order in whole drained leachates, where removed cations essentially were in chloride or sulfate forms. Estimated rates of CaCO<sub>3</sub> deposition for the studied soils were 19.9, 16.4 and 9.5 g/m<sup>3</sup>/year, respectively. Dominant lime horizons will receive 0.76, 0.64 and 0.37% of carbonate after 500 years at the studied sites, respectively, which indicate unsuitable conditions for Calcic horizon formation during that period. </strong><strong>The model tried to simulate field conditions associated to leaching of salty calcareous soils, but nutrients levels have to be carefully monitored to sustain healthy plant growth, and it</strong><strong> is usually not advisable to leach if the resulting soil will be sodic or alkali, where such soils should receive amendments before being leached.</strong>

<strong>Sustainable agricultural development at newly reclaimed regions is strongly affected by environmental adaptability of applied land uses. Studied area located over five thousand feddans at Wadi Sannur down stream area which considered one of the most promising sites for agriculture development at Beni Suef governorate. Reclamation was partially undertaken since 1985 till now, due to existing of some limiting factors for land productivity and some utilization problems. This study aimed to assess land use alternatives based on land productivity and suitability, in addition, to investigate current environmental conditions and land utilization methods in the studied area. Thirty soil profiles were studied to represent soils of the area, and soil sampling was performed for further laboratory analysis. Results indicated that soils of the area were classified as <em>Typic Torripsamments</em> or <em>Lithic Torripsamments</em> which including 6 mapping units varying in both soil depth and texture class. The most dominant soil mapping unit in the area was over 32.4 % for deep medium over coarse texture soils. Productivity of the studied area soils classified into four classes; fair over 32.4%, poor over 32.3%, and very poor over 17.9% of the total area, while 17.4% of the area considered not valid for agricultural land uses. Type of limiting elements for productivity varied widely from site to others. In conclusion rough topography, rocky patches, shallow depth, coarse texture, low clay content, high gravels and weathered rock fragment contents, high salinity, high lime content, and general poor fertility are the main limitations. The study identified date palm, olive, guava and pommel as the successful land use alternatives in the area, in addition to some vegetables like onion and garlic. The suitability of olive trees as current land use was classified into three classes; marginal suitability over 67.7 %, currently non suitable over 17.9 % and permanently non suitable over 17.4 % of the total area. Current results were compared with corresponding soil data at 2001 which emphasized on the affection of current land use on soil properties such as fertility enhancement due to fertilization and subsurface salt accumulation due to leaching by irrigation. Field investigation revealed that deterioration which affected roads, irrigation canals and electrical services in the studied area. Based on the incorporation of evaluation results between land properties with environmental conditions, the study recommend the spreading of olive trees at non reclaimed locations with optimizing land use through temporal utilization rights. 4.2pt'>The model tried to simulate field conditions associated to leaching of salty calcareous soils, but nutrients levels have to be carefully monitored to sustain healthy plant growth, and it is usually not advisable to leach if the resulting soil will be sodic or alkali, where such soils should receive amendments before being leached.</strong><br /> <strong> </strong>

<strong>A field experiment was conducted during two successive seasons of 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 in private orchard located at Housh Essa area, Behera governorate, Egypt to study the influence of holding irrigation periods and foliar application with urea on leaf ammonium content, flowering, fruit set and the fruit yield of lime trees (Egyptian Lime, <em>C. aurantifolia</em>). The relationship between leaf ammonium content and flowering, fruit set and yield was also examined. The trees were divided into 4 groups with 9 trees per group replicates and the tested treatments were, T1: control treatment (Traditional holding irrigation for 15days). T2 (Holding irrigation for 30 days), T3 (Holding irrigation for 45 days) and T4 (Holding irrigation for 60 days). Within each group, three trees were sprayed with urea solution only once and other three twice, while the remaining, three trees were left without spraying as a control. The obtained results proved that holding irrigation period for 45 days with urea spraying twice was efficient in increasing the ammonium concentrations in lime leaves and produced the highest number of flowers / branch and fruit set / branch . The data also revealed that holding irrigation for 45 or 60 days with urea spraying twice; gave the highest fruit yield / tree comparing with holding irrigation period for 15 days and without urea spray (control treatments). Positive and significant correlation coefficients was noticed between leaf ammonium content and lime fruit yield, except, in the first season, after 15 days with urea application where the correlation coefficient was not significant .</strong>

<strong>This investigation was carried out during 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 growing seasons to study the effect of holding irrigation periods and foliar application with urea on vegetative growth, leaf chlorophyll content, leaf carbohydrate fractions and fruit quality of lime trees. The treatments were; holding irrigation for 15,30,45 and 60 days with three urea spraying treatments; once, twice and without spray. </strong><strong>The obtained results indicated that, holding irrigation for 30 days with spraying once or twice, in both seasons, gave the best intereaction for increasing shoot length and leaf area. As for leaf chlorophyll and carbohydrate concentrations, the results revealed that, holding irrigation for either 30 or 45 days with urea spraying twice, in both seasons, markedly increased leaf chlorophyll catogeries (A&B) and carbohydrate fractions concentrations and gave the best interactions. Moreover, holding irrigation for 15 days without foliar urea, in both seasons, gave the highest interaction for leaf starch and total carbohydrates when compared with holding irrigation period for 60 days with urea spraying twice. For physical fruit properties; including fruit length and diameter; the results proved that, in the first season, holding irrigation for either 15 or 45 days with urea application; once, twice or without foliar urea (as a control) markedly increased fruit length and diameter and gave the best interactions. However, in the second season, the differences were not significant in this respect. Fruit juice volume, in both seasons, significantly increased when irrigation was held for 15 days. Besides, no effect of foliar urea spraying treatments in this respect; especially, in the first season. Moreover, the best interactions for lime juice volume were obtained between holding irrigation for 15 days with urea spraying once. For chemical fruit properties, including total soluble solids, fruit juice acidity and vitamin C percentages; by holding irrigation for either 30 or 45 days and urea application twice, in both seasons, caused significant increase in their fruit juice content of these tested variables and gave the best interactions. On the contrary, holding irrigation for 60 days with or without foliar urea sprays had a negative effect on all the above mentioned parameters and reduced fruit quality. </strong>

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of chemical and physical properties of fatand oils intake on the level of blood and brain fat's and the activity of acetylcholine esterase.
Some physical properties (viscosity, the refractive index, the specificweight and color), and chemical attributes (acid number, Peroxide number, iodine number and saponification number) and alsofatty acids composition of edible fats and oils were determined.The study was carry out inEducation college for Home Economics, Umm Al- Qura University, Saudi Arabia.
Forty-two healthy adult male albino rats (2-3 month old and weighing 50-75gm) were used. The rats were given food and water ad libitum throughout the 11-week experimental period. they were divided into 6 groups each group included 7 rats, they were fed on a meal of a proportion of 12% fat, first group was fed on standard meals contains corn oil, but second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth group were fed on olive oil, sun flower oil, palm oil, vegetable ghee and faunal ghee, respectively.Blood samples were collected for separation of plasma and serum. Supernatant was separated from the brain.Total cholesterol, triglycerides, high, low and very low density lipoprotein, the activity of acetyl cholinesterase in the brainwere determined and also atherogenic index of both fats were estimated.
The results indicated that characteristics of oils and fats were identical with Saudi standards.
Serum concentrations of cholesterol were increased in all experimental groups except the rats that fed on sun flower oil. Also triglycerides was increased group that fed on olive oil, palm oil, vegetable and faunal ghee. A significant deceased in
high density lipoprotein level was noticed, vegetable and faunal ghee groups as a compared with the standard group, and results mentioned that highest value of low density lipoprotein was in group that fed on faunal ghee Very low lipoprotein was increased incorporeally in palm oil group, vegetable and faunal ghee in comparison with the standard group. Results indicated that highest value of atherogenic index was in animal that fed on faunal ghee then vegetable ghee after that palm oil.
Results showed a significant increased in total cholesterol level in rats' brain that fed on olive oil or vegetable ghee and faunal ghee compared with the standard group. There was no variation between standard group and all experimental groups in triglycerides value in brain. High density lipoprotein level was increased incorporeally in brain of olive oil group, while it was decreased significantly in experimental groups that fed on palm oil or vegetable or faunal ghee. Low density lipoprotein level was increased incorporeally in brain of rats that fed on vegetable and faunal ghee in comparison with the standard group, but there were no incorporeal variations in other groups. Very low density lipoprotein levels in brain were not variations in experimental groups in comparison with the standard group. The highest value of atherogenic index was in rats fed on vegetable ghee then faunal ghee then palm oil, while the lowest was in olive oil group.
Acetyl cholinesterase activity was increased by proportion 25.9% in rat that fed on olive oil, while was decreased by proportion 13.58 , 20.24% in rats that fed on palm oil and vegetable ghee respectively.
The present results concludedthat dietary fat affect on growth, biochemical parameters and acetyl cholinesterase activity.
