The present study aimed to evaluate the productinty status of panicum turgidum (Thumam) under the environmental conditions of the eastern province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Forty eight experimental sites (each of 25 m2, i.e. 1*25 m) were randomly selected from three locations (Roads of Riyadh, Ogair and Damam), which represent the micro-environment of thumam. Obtained results showed that the dominated plant species associated with thumam were Eragrostis barrelieri, Haloxylon salicornicum, Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Plantago ovata and Zygophyllum coccineum. The forage production of thumam was 57 kg dry matter/ha. However, the nutrient value of it was relatively low due to the low protein content (4.2 %) and high crude fiber (30.2 %). Moreover, neutral detergent fiber was 62.4 %, acid detergent fiber was 65.4 % and lignin was 11.70 % which indicate low nutritional forage value, compared with traditional forage crops, i.e. Rhodesgrass (Chloris gayana) and Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa). Macronutrient contents (Na, K, Ca and Mg) were in the range of sheep and camel requirements, while P was very low as well as micronutrients (Zn, Cu and Mn).

Research summary
تستهدف الدراسة الحالية تقييم حالة إنتاجية نبات البانيكم تورجيدوم (ثمام) تحت الظروف البيئية للمنطقة الشرقية من المملكة العربية السعودية. تم اختيار 48 موقعًا تجريبيًا (كل منها بمساحة 25 م²) عشوائيًا من ثلاثة مواقع (طرق الرياض، العقير، والدمام)، والتي تمثل البيئة الدقيقة للثمام. أظهرت النتائج أن الأنواع النباتية السائدة المرتبطة بالثمام كانت Eragrostis barrelieri، Haloxylon salicornicum، Leptadenia pyrotechnica، Plantago ovata وZygophyllum coccineum. كان إنتاج العلف من الثمام 57 كجم مادة جافة/هكتار. ومع ذلك، كانت القيمة الغذائية له منخفضة نسبيًا بسبب انخفاض محتوى البروتين (4.2%) وارتفاع الألياف الخام (30.2%). بالإضافة إلى ذلك، كانت نسبة الألياف المحايدة المنظفة 62.4%، الألياف الحمضية المنظفة 65.4%، واللجنين 11.70% مما يشير إلى قيمة غذائية منخفضة للعلف مقارنة بالمحاصيل العلفية التقليدية مثل رودسجراس (Chloris gayana) والفصة (Medicago sativa). كانت محتويات المغذيات الكبيرة (Na، K، Ca، Mg) ضمن نطاق احتياجات الأغنام والجمال، بينما كانت نسبة الفوسفور منخفضة وكذلك المغذيات الدقيقة (Zn، Cu، Mn).
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة لأنها تسلط الضوء على إنتاجية وقيمة نبات الثمام في المنطقة الشرقية من المملكة العربية السعودية. ومع ذلك، يمكن تحسين الدراسة من خلال تضمين مقارنة أكثر تفصيلًا مع محاصيل علفية أخرى في نفس الظروف البيئية. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يمكن أن تكون الدراسة أكثر شمولية إذا تم تضمين تأثيرات موسمية مختلفة على إنتاجية وجودة الثمام. كما أن التركيز على استخدامات أخرى محتملة للثمام يمكن أن يضيف قيمة إضافية للدراسة. وأخيرًا، يمكن أن تكون هناك توصيات عملية للمزارعين بناءً على النتائج لتحسين استخدام هذا النبات في الزراعة المحلية.

The present study aimed to evaluate the ecological and phytosociological status of panicum turgidum under the environmental conditions of the eastern province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 48 stands (each of 25 m2, i.e. 1x25 m) were randomly selecte d from three locations (Riyadh, Ogair and Damam) which represent the optimum habitat of P. turgidum. The obtained results showed that the dominated plant species associated with P. turgidum were Cyperus conglomertus, Eragrostis barrelieri, Haloxylon persicum, Haloxylon salicornicum, Heliotropium bocciferum, Launaea mucronata, Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Monsonia nevia and Plantago ovata. P. turgidum, and is recommended as an important grazing vegetation in deep sand soil. Soil salinity (ECe), soil PH, CaCO3, organic matter, soil texture (Sand %) and soil moisture (FC) were the most limiting soil properties affecting P. turgidum distribution naturally at the studied area.
The research was conducted at the Forestry Nursery of the Directorate of Agriculture in Deir Ezzor Governorate during the growing season of 2019. The objective of the study was to study the effect of humic acid application and different irrigation intervals on chemical composition of blue panic plant (Panicum antidotale). The experiment was implemented in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) by planting Panicum seeds in polyethylene bags filled with 2 soils to 1 sand mixture in four replicates. Whereas three irrigation intervals (7, 14, and 21 days) and two humic acid application treatments (control without addition and application of humic acid) were used. Fresh plant sample from each treatment was taken at each cut, and samples were dried at 70C until weight was stable. Chmeical compostion was conducted for the samples and dry matter %, crude protein %, crude fiber %, total carbohydrate %, and ether extract % were estimated according the the common methods. The results showed that the control treatment (irrigation every 7 days) was significantly superior to the two irrigation treatments every 14 days and 21 days in the percentage of soliable carbohydrates (42.09%). While, irrigation treatment every 14 days outperformed the other irrigation treatments and recorded the highest values of percentage of crude protein (17.07%) and the percentage of ether extract (2.73%). The irrigation treatment every 21 days gave the highest values of ash percentage (16.38%). No significant differences were recorded between the irrigation treatments for the percentage of dry matter and the percentage of crude fiber. The control treatment of humic acid outperformed the addition of humic acid interms of the percentage of crude fiber (CF), while the treatment of addition of humic acid outperformed the control in the percentages of crude protein (CP), ash and ether extract (EE). No significant differences were recorded between the application and control of humic acid treatments in dry matter % and the percentage of soluble carbohydrates. The effect of the interaction between irrigation intervals and the application of humic acid was significant for all the studied characteristics. The control treatment (irrigation every 7 days) with the addition of humic acid recorded the highest values for the percentage of soluble carbohydrates (42.92%). The irrigation treatment every 14 days with the addition of humic acid gave the highest values in the percentage of crude protein (17.81%), the percentage of ash (16.55%) and the percentage of extracted ether (2.81%). As for the irrigation treatment every 21 days with the addition of humic acid, had the highest values for the percentage of dry matter (96.25%)
This study aims to construct a mathematical model to calculate the form factor of Palestine Oak Maquis grown on the eastern versants of coastal mountains. The form factor model can help foresters to precisely estimate the volume of tree and forest stands. In the year 2014, 129 oak shoots of various ages and sizes, located in natural stands of different densities and site qualities covering all conditions of region grown on, were felled. Diameters at different heights of the felled shoots were measured; shoots volumes and volumes of equivalent cylinders were calculated, and consequently the values of shoot form factor were computed. The dataset was randomly split into two parts, 70% (90 shoots) of the data for constructing form factor model and 30% (39 trees) for model validation. Several form factor models were developed using the non-linear regression equations in the statistical program SPSS. Best fit to the data was selected and value of the coefficient of determination adjusted (R²adj) was about 0.77. The model has been validated using several statistical methods, the relative bias of the best model ( e%) was ca. -3.6 %, while the value of model accuracy ) % x m ) was 15%. In order to obtain lower value of model relative bias and higher value of accuracy, it’s recommended to use a larger database comprising all distribution areas of oak Maquis in Syria.

This investigation was carried out at the experimental Station of the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, King Saud University, Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia, during the growing season 2001/2002. The objectives of the research were to study and evaluate the productivity, morphological and physiological behavior of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants grown under palm trees environment. The results proved the important effects of palm trees shading on alfalfa growth, development and productivity. Significant differences were observed between the control treatment and the two other treatments. The results also showed a significant increase in fresh and dry weight and quality characteristics except for fat percentage. This percentage increased gradually from treatment 1, which was located under palm trees, to treatment 2, which was located between palm trees to the control treatment, which was located away from palm trees, where there was no shading. The morphological and physiological characteristics did not significantly change in spite of the existed changes among their means.
