Institute achievements:
First, in the field of land
1- Completion of the initial soil viability map for an area of ​​55,000 feddans in the Toshka area, branch (2), within the detailed inventory work.
2- Completion of field work for detailed inventory of 18,000 feddans in Toshka area, branch (2).
3- Studying the detailed inventory work for Toshka Research Farm in Abu Simbel (an area of ​​about 100 acres) and preparing the technical report for that study.
4- Preparing soil and validity maps for classification inventory work for an area of ​​120,000 feddans in Toshka area, branch (2), and preparing the final report for it.
5- A database was created to select a pilot area in the new lands in the Nubaria area on the Nasr Canal to conduct studies and research for a detailed classification inventory of the lands of the pioneering area and compare that with the units of satellite images in preparation for the use of this modern technology in the research processes of inventorying and classifying the new lands and showing their production capacities and the comparative advantage of these lands in the appropriate crop productivity.
6- Carrying out detailed taxonomic surveys and surveys of the lands of wheat cultivations affiliated to the Great Crop Productivity of Agricultural Lands project to feed computer programs with information leading to a questionnaire for the maximum productivity of the wheat crop in the lands of the Arab Republic of Egypt. This activity included the sites of wheat cultivations in agricultural research stations in the Republic.
7- Updating the data of previous studies in (the valley and the delta) and studying the variables that directly affect towards raising the productivity of these lands as a prelude to laying the appropriate foundations towards raising their production capacity and studying the comparative advantage of these lands in the productivity of the appropriate crop for these resources and the creation of a special database for these lands.
8- Maximizing the productivity of saline lands in the area of ​​the graduates youth - in Al-Zawiya, Al-Hamoul Center, by using drainage, secondary auxiliary drainage, crop residues and agricultural gypsum.
9- Implementation of the Soil Improvers Project, which provides what is needed for modern agriculture and new reclamation areas, and what serves the goal of the Egyptian farmer and investor.
This is done through the following:
A- Compounds that were manufactured and tested from them
Compost - biocompost - biofin - improved compost - production of organic extracts - vital growth stimulants - phosphate improvers - peat substitutes.
B - Introducing clean organic farming in the new lands
C - Environmental coexistence, where the project established several sites such as: Al-Bustan - Ismailia - Al-Arish - Al-Tur.
10- The use of natural, industrial and biological reformers and improvers such as sugar industry residues (filter mud, sugar lime) sulfur - gypsum - phosphate rock - bentonite - vermiculite - poultry manure - rice straw - potassium ore - sludge - hydrogel, phosphate-dissolving bacteria - azocycline, azotobacter Rhizobia as nitrogen fixers.
11- Establishing piles of different plant wastes (rice straw, cottonwood, palm waste) where possible by adding various stimulants and following known technical methods to obtain good compost from all the waste under study that meets the appropriate conditions (organic carbon) Carbon ratio: nitrogen, elements Major and minor, and within a maximum period of 3 months.
12- Using plant residues directly without composting in each of the sandy, calcareous, and heavy clay lands in an integrated manner, whether ground or not. Such as: jojoya plant residues, castor, rice straw, corn stover, pea throne, bean throne, and these experiments gave promising results in terms of yield in addition to being a solution and treatment for the use of organic matter. In addition to the availability of 30-50% of added nitrogen fertilizers and also It improves soil properties.
