<br/><br/> Field experiments were carried out at El-Nubaria Province,<br/>the desert backyard of El-Behaira Governorate, Egypt,<br/>during two successive summer seasons (2016 and 2017),<br/>to study the effect of the integration between different tillage<br/>methods and soil amendment treatments on damping-off and<br/>charcoal rot diseases management of sunflower caused by<br/>Macrophomina phaseolina under the reclaimed soil conditions.<br/>Conventional tillage (CT) was found to be more effective in<br/>reducing M. phaseolina population and charcoal rot. Rice straw +<br/>EM1 + Urea × EM-X or biochar + compost × EM-X were found to<br/>be more effective in reducing damping-off and charcoal rot disease<br/>incidence and severity as well as M. phaseolina population.<br/>Therefore, enhanced sunflower productivity compared to the other<br/>examined soil amendment treatments; including the conventional<br/>chemical fertilization as the control treatment. The integration<br/>between CT method and rice straw + EM1+ Urea × EM-X or<br/>biochar + compost × EM-X was found to be more effective in<br/>reducing M. phaseolina population and charcoal rot incidence and<br/>severity. The integration between tillage methods and soil<br/>amendments was found to be the furthermost advised agricultural<br/>practices under these conditions as land degradation neutrality<br/>(LDN) technology that enhances land cover and area unit<br/>productivity under these conditions.<br/>
