General view of the  scientific activity

 

The  scientific activity includes three scientific branches : Cereal technology and protein chemistry ; micro-elements and plant nutrition; and crop intensification .

Cereal technology and protein chemistry branch:

Mathematical equations to deduce the iso- electric point of true protein with information about amino acids glutamic + aspartic (A) and lysine + arginine (B) of cereals seed  were suggested . Log A/B ratios and IEP of proteins obtained from chemical analysis, as well as data obtained from literature, were used to establish these mathematical equations . the differences between values calculated from the suggested equations and those obtained from chemical analysis were not significant. These  mathematical equations were published  in addition to other  publications during 1983 -1989 .

Micro-elements and plant nutrition branch:

          The attention of this branch was since 1984 up to 1993.The  interest includes :

*-preparation and implementation an expanded program of major field  crops ( rice, wheat, cotton and maize)( Soil Fertility Project).

 *-Preparation and implementation an extension program for the use of blue-green algae in all districts of Dakahlia governorate (Soil Fertility Project ).

 *- Overseeing the  establishment  and preparation of regional lab (Dakahlia governorate ) for soil and plant analysis, also , training the technicians .

*- Participate in Research project at the National Research Center for to assess the impact of micro-elements on various crops .

          According to the accumulated experiences . new  micr-onutrients formulation has been innovated , this  formulation was licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture . Scientific study ( M.sci. Thesis ) was done by Faculty of Agriculture , Mansoura University to study the effect of some compounds of foliar fertilizers on characteristics of  wheat yield and yield components   . The new formulation ( Nervaten –Vet ) gave  the highest yield  and yield components compared to the other compounds under the study .This study is available on the website “www.elhawary.net”.

Crop intensification branch :

The importance of  this branch began since 1986 ,  first formulas  for economic evaluation of intercropping systems from the perspective of crop intensification and at the same time as predictive formulas to predict the success of intensive crop systems from  farmer ^,s  perspective were published in 1993 . The number of published formulas till now were  19 .  Some of these formulas published in research papers and the others published in book in 2011 , and the publisher was  LAMPERT Academic Publishing , Germany   (128pages . ISBN 978-3-8454-0246-8. )  . These formulas covered intercropping and crop sequences systems . Now, these formulas are used for evaluation of the intercropping systems studies either in the  research papers or M.sci. Thesis .

          For the easy usage of   these formulas , a web application has been designed  on the website  ” www.elhawary.net” .
