Spinach has always been known for its health benefits, famously containing iron and vitamins. But modern science, using tools like metabolomics, confirms that this leafy green is packed with even more powerful compounds that are vital for your health.

Agricultural Practices in the Organic Trial Using Bio NovaPlus and Bio NovaQ Products

You have probably eaten a pasta dish with mushrooms or a pizza with mushrooms, but have you ever looked at mushrooms as a source of health rather than just food? Mushrooms are fungi that have been used by humans for centuries in culinary applications. Currently, more than 2,000 species of mushrooms exist in the wild, but only about 25 species are wildly consumed as food (Valverde et al., 2015). Romans used to call mushrooms “Food of the Gods”, while Chinese people referred to them as “Elixir of Life” due to their various health benefits and medicinal properties (Pardeep K. Khanna & Shivani Sharma, 2013). The aim of this newsletter is to provide a simple and cle

Agricultural productivity worldwide faces significant challenges due to potassium deficiency, despite soils containing substantial reserves of total potassium. Approximately 90-98% of soil potassium exists in insoluble forms that plants cannot directly absorb, creating a critical limitation in crop nutrition. Conventional agriculture depends heavily on synthetic potassium fertilizers to address this deficiency, but these fertilizers are expensive, environmentally problematic, and derived from finite potash reserves concentrated in only a few geographical regions. The excessive use of potassium fertilizers contributes to soil salinity, nutrient imbalances, and environ

The complex mixture of minerals, organic matter, water, air, and living organisms is defined as soil. It forms the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems and plays a crucial role in supporting life on Earth. Soil serves as a medium for plant growth, regulates water flow, filters pollutants, and stores carbon (Robert E. White, 2005). Good soil management is key for a good production and a sustainable agro-ecosystem. Understanding the different types of soil is essential for effective land management, agriculture, and environmental conservation. The ideal soil composition consists of 50% solids (45% minerals and 5% organic matter) and 50% pores (25% air and 25% water).

Egyptian agriculture faces significant economic losses from terrestrial snail infestations, particularly in the Nile Delta region where humid conditions favor their proliferation. Land snails cause extensive damage to vegetables, ornamentals, fruit trees, and field crops throughout Egypt. These molluscan pests consume plant tissue, damage seedlings, contaminate produce, and serve as intermediate hosts for parasitic diseases affecting livestock and humans. The reliance on synthetic molluscicides containing metaldehyde or methiocarb poses serious risks to non-target organisms, beneficial insects, soil health, and water quality.
