Abstract
Urban sprawl on the alluvial land of the River Nile and delta is one of the main problems that threaten the limited fertile land in Egypt. A pot experiment was carried out in the greenhouse of the National Research Centre; soil was collected from the agricultural soils affected by urban sprawl in Giza government to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and Nano nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) fertilizer on some soil properties and NPK uptake of jojoba. Results showed that growth parameters of jojoba increased with Nano fertilizer as foliar application compared to none Nano fertilizer treatment, incorporating vermicompost in the soil with and without Nano fertilizer led to a decrement in bulk density and increments in total porosity of soil, water holding pores and hence soil water retention, hydraulic conductivity and mean diameter of soil pore, also obviously increased NPK uptake and all growth parameters of jojoba compared to none vermicompost treatment. It might be detected that jojoba as a biofuel crop and great salinity tolerant could be attained the financial income in such degraded soils using vermicompost as soil amendment and Nano fertilizer as foliar application on plant.
