This study aimed to determine the prevalence, serovars, virulence gene profiles, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes in Salmonella isolated from broiler chickens in Egypt. In this study, 200 samples were obtained from broiler chickens. Samples were processed using standard bacteriological techniques, and suspected isolates were biochemically identified and molecularly confirmed by...

This study examined how organic mulching and deficit irrigation affect soil moisture and salinity in sandy soils, comparing field data with the SALTMED model outputs. The field experiment featured four irrigation treatments—100% IRg, 75% IRg, 50% IRg and 50% IRg with partial root drying (PRD)—and four mulching treatments: uncovered soil (UC), plastic mulch (PM), rice straw mulch (RSM) and compacted rice straw mulch (CRSM) over...

This research aimed at water saving in irrigation by applying deficit irrigation using two strategies, standard drip and partial root drying (PRD), while applying organic and plastic mulch over two growing seasons of green beans. A field experiment was conducted in 2022 and 2023, using four irrigation treatments supplying 100% of the irrigation requirement (IRg), 75% IRg, 50% IRg, and 50% IRg—PRD, and four soil mulching treatm...
