In the Western desert, on border of the Nile valley at Sohag, soil of El-Kawamel farm Sohag University is a newly reclaimed sandy soil. The farm is about 150 feddans cultivated partially with field crops such as wheat and clover after spreading 20 - 30 cm of dredged clay materials and organic farmyard manure on the soil surface as a soil amendment. Irrigated with sprinkler irrigation system with fixed sprinklers at 1OX 9 m. The present study was proposed to evaluate the effect of the sprinkler irrigation methods and adding the soil amendments on improving the soil physical and chemical properties as well as the soil fertility after 10 years of cultivation as " A case study". The results showed that applying the sprinkling irrigation method and adding the dredged clay materials led to leaching the salts from the soil increasing the soil fertility (N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) and improving the soil water holding capacity as compared to uncultivated control soil. All tested measurements were presented by GIS maps and statistically analyzed.
