N2  - Field experiments were carried out at El-Nubaria Province,
the desert backyard of El-Behaira Governorate, Egypt,
during two successive summer seasons (2016 and 2017),
to study the effect of the integration between different tillage
methods and soil amendment treatments on damping-off and
charcoal rot diseases management of sunflower caused by
Macrophomina phaseolina under the reclaimed soil conditions.
Conventional tillage (CT) was found to be more effective in
reducing M. phaseolina population and charcoal rot. Rice straw +
EM1 + Urea × EM-X or biochar + compost × EM-X were found to
be more effective in reducing damping-off and charcoal rot disease
incidence and severity as well as M. phaseolina population.
Therefore, enhanced sunflower productivity compared to the other
examined soil amendment treatments; including the conventional
chemical fertilization as the control treatment. The integration
between CT method and rice straw + EM1+ Urea × EM-X or
biochar + compost × EM-X was found to be more effective in
reducing M. phaseolina population and charcoal rot incidence and
severity. The integration between tillage methods and soil
amendments was found to be the furthermost advised agricultural
practices under these conditions as land degradation neutrality
(LDN) technology that enhances land cover and area unit
productivity under these conditions
