This study examined effect of potassium drip fertigation on the growth and

fruit yield of tomato under field conditions at western Libyan conditions, in two

consecutive seasons. The soil texture sites was sandy, pH around 8.0. the soil potassium

was extracted and estimated by flam photometer at 766 μm. The rate of potassium fertilizer

were F1: 0; F2: 150; F3: 300 kg K2O ha-1 as potassium chloride form in three replicates.

The experimental site was designed in randomized complete block (RCBD). and I1: 75%

ET𝑐; I2: 100% ET𝑐; I3: 125% ET𝑐 levels for irrigation. The interactions for both potassium

fertilization levels and irrigation treatments with fruit yield were found. The single

treatments of potassium fertilization or irrigation significantly affected the tomato fruit

yield, where fertilization and irrigation applications increased the fruit weight from 13.99 t

ha-1 to 34.47 t ha-1 t/ha minimum in F1I1 and maximum in F3I3. Application of different Kfertilizers

and irrigations had significant effect in PFP (partial factor productivity), and

AUE (agronomic use efficiency) as compared to K-control plots of tomato. The average of

PFP for K and irrigation in two treatments were 65.65 kg kg-1 in F2I3, and 59.43 kg kg-1 in

F3I3 which are greater than the values of control, F1I1, F1I2, and F1I3 treatments

The experiment was conducted to assess the sensitivity of potato yield to dif-ferent irrigation levels at different growth stages. Irrigation levels were determined as percentages (WI 100% as readily available water to the crop (RAW)), and for the rest of the treatments (WII 75%, WIII 50%), as they were applied separately to all four stages of crop growth i.e., vegetative (SI), tuber initiation (SII), tuber bulking SIII, and tuber matu-ration (SIV). The design of complete random sectors was adopted to perform the experi-ments. The results revealed that all the studied parameters: plant height (cm), vegetation plant weight (g), number of tubers per plant, tuber weight (g), tuber yield (ton/ha), and crop water productivity (kg/m3) varied among irrigation water levels at different stages of growth. It was found that the two stages, SII and SIII in potato crops, were more sensitive to deficit irrigation compared to other stages. According to the obtained results, in the case of water abundance conditions, the treatment WII SI can be applied to obtain the highest water crop productivity. In conditions of water scarcity, it becomes necessary to apply the treatment WIII SIII to obtain the highest crop water productivity.

Understanding the interactions among soil properties,

salinity and the inorganic substances application is

great importance for improving growth of Coriander [Coriandrum sativum L.] in sandy soils. In the present

study, twenty seeds of Coriander were sown during the growing season 2016 to investigate the effe ct of some

inorganic substances [Bentonite, Nano selenium and Micronutrients mixture] on Coriander growth and

properties of sandy soil under salinity condition. A split plot design replicated thrice was used in this study.

The results indicated significa nt succeed in enhancing all estimated soil properties, such as available

nutrients in soil, EC, pH and bulk density. Besides, traits of coriander plant i.e., plant height, fresh, dry weights

and plant chemical composition. Therefore, it could be recommende d that adding of inorganic substances can

improve the sandy soil properties and growth parameters of coriander plant

Factorial field experiment was conducted to evaluate relationship between two genotypes of local wheat (Triticum aestivum) and phosphorus soil test values. The M 0.5 NaHCO₃ based (Olsen phosphorus) extractant was carried out on soils taken from the plots. The experiment was conducted at western region of Libya. Soil pH at the experimental site was 8.1 and the texture is sandy. The experiment was performed using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) method with three replicates for each treatment of phosphate fertilizer at concentrations of 0, 60, and 120 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 for both genotypes. Results were expressed by relative values (Relative Yield). Relative yield (RY) of the two wheat cultivars showed similar significant responses to both soil test values and the grain yield. Linear relationship between relative yield and the grain yield at 0 kg P2O5 ha^-1 for both genotypes was found, whereas, non-linear relationship was noticed among treatments that received 120 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1. Both the linear and non- linear relationship have explained by tendency curves and showed how both genotypes response to phosphate fertilizer.

Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the correlation relationship between the yield of two localized wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum,) Acsad 901 and Salamboo and Olsen phosphorus soil test (0.5 M of NaHCO3 at pH 8.5) values. The experimental site was run at west sector of Libya. The experimental site pH was 8.4 and the texture is sandy The experiment consisted of three replicates and three phosphate fertilizer rates which equivalent, (0, 60, and 120) kg P2O5 ha-1 for both genotypes. The results of grain yield of the experiment were expressed by relative values (Relative Yield). The relative yield (RY) illustrated the relationship between soil test values and the grain yield clearly. Very close correlation relationship (r = 0.98 ) between relative yield of grain and the soil test values of Salamboo was found whereas Acsad genotypes was achieved less correlation( r =0.69) at 0 kg P2O5 ha-1 for both genotypes. The similarity between the two genotypes was very close (r = 0.99 ) for treatments that received high phosphate rate.

A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis has become a key tool used

by businesses for strategic planning. Scholars have conducted SWOT research for over six

decades. However, a collective understanding of SWOT analysis remains vague. This study

accessed, analyzed, and synthesized the SWOT literature, allowing for new theoretical

perspectives and frameworks to emerge. Using an integrative literature review, this study reviewed

SWOT studies historically, providing a greater understanding of the SWOT analysis in different

sectors and the different approaches used in SWOT studies. Furthermore, it fills the knowledge

gap in the strategic planning context and indicates meaningful implications for managers that could

help improve their strategic decisions.
