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

Broomrape (Orobanche spp.) represents one of the most devastating parasitic weeds affecting Egyptian agriculture, causing substantial yield losses in economically important crops including fava beans (Vicia faba) and carrots (Daucus carota). As an obligate holoparasite completely lacking chlorophyll, broomrape depends entirely on host plants for water, nutrients, and carbohydrates. In Egypt, broomrape infestation has been a persistent challenge, particularly affecting fava bean production—a crop of immense cultural importance as the main ingredient of ful medames. Yield losses in heavily infested fava bean fields can reach 60% or more, while carrot quality

Pests and diseases cause between 20-40% of all crop production to be lost each year, this equates to losing around $300 billion annually (FAO, 2023). Such losses contribute massively to food insecurity, which is particularly prevalent in African countries. Pesticides are typically used to control pests, but their excessive use has led to biodiversity loss and widespread pollution, which in turn harms humans and the environment. To combat this growing challenge, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies have been increasingly adopted. These strategies focus on a combination of cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical approaches to control pests in an environmen

In modern animal agriculture, the search for sustainable alternatives to antibiotics has become increasingly important. Probiotics have emerged as a promising solution, offering numerous benefits for livestock and poultry health, productivity, and welfare. These beneficial microorganisms support gut health and immune function, providing a natural approach to disease prevention and performance enhancement in animal production systems. The global animal probiotics market continues to grow as producers seek alternatives to antibiotics amid rising concerns about antimicrobial resistance. Probiotics represent a key component in the shift toward more sustainable and respon
