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

The impact of using biofertilizers (Bio Nova Plus and Bio Nova Q) on bean yields. A real-life success story in Berket El Sabaa, Menoufia Governorate, where yields reached 65 kg per qerat without any chemical fertilizers. Under the supervision of the Royal Green Biotech scientific team.

Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), also known as berseem, represents one of the most important forage crops in Egypt and several temperate and subtropical regions. As a winter annual leguminous crop, it provides essential fresh fodder, silage, and hay for livestock while simultaneously enhancing soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation. However, the productivity and quality of Egyptian clover face a significant threat from dodder (Cuscuta planiflora), a parasitic weed that can cause yield losses of up to 80%. This parasitic plant lacks photosynthetic capability and depends entirely on its host for survival, extracting nutrients and water through

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 fall armyworm belongs to the order Coleoptera, which is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America and moved to Africa in 2016 and then spread to Asia, Australia, and the Arab region (FAO 2021).

Greenhouses are structures designed primarily for cultivating plants that require specific environmental conditions to thrive. They are typically made of transparent materials like glass or plastic to allow sunlight to penetrate and heat the interior. The transparent walls and roof help trap heat inside, creating a warmer climate than the external environment, which is crucial for growing plants that might not cultivate in the local climate. Greenhouses represent an innovative and important method for cultivating crops within an enclosed structure that regulates environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light exposure, and ventilation. This method has gained great importance in
