The major tasks: to assist the growers in crop production in
this semi-arid area with its major water limitations

Limiting factors of agriculture in arid/semi-arid regions * Climate –extreme conditions (Temp; irradiation) * Water – quality, quantity, use efficiency * Soil – poor in organic matter, sand
Threats and opportunities
• Climate crises
• Food crises
• Water availability
• Energy crises

Agricultural R&D in the Negev
In the Western Negev there is about 80,000 ha producing vegetables, grains and fruit. Most of the Israel’s land reserves are in this region. Available water resources: desalinated, recycled, and saline. Climate conditions are special (relatively warm winters) advantageous for crop production for export primarily to Europe

Bioassay procedure
Soils are sampled at 6-10 points per 30-100 ha,
with a mechanical auger (15 cm diameter), at depths of 0-30, 0-45 or 0-
60 cm according to the average rainfall

Bioassay plant growth
• 8 kg of soil are used for growing
the maize in the bioassay tests
• 5 seeds/pot
• Vermiculite mulch
• Grown for 30 days
• Irrigation - to keep pot capacity
• Drainage - none
• Fertilization - none

Vegetable crop physiology under stress conditions
• Focus on vegetable production under protected environment
(tomato and pepper) and in the open field (potato)
• Elucidate the factors which limit vegetable development under
suboptimal conditions (temperatures, water quality and
deficiency, etc.)
• Characterized the influence of abiotic stress on physiological,
biochemical and hormonal process in flower and fruit
development
• Main research topic will be on how abiotic stress such as
extreme temperatures influence on auxin production and
transport in different flower organ during flower and fruit
development
