AbstractSustainability has gained a lot of attention, as investors are turning their attention toward this important concept in their enterprises. This study aimed to reveal the impact of adopting sustainable agricultural practices on fruit production's economic and financial sustainability. The study provided empirical evidence that there is a positive impact of adopting sustainability practices on the economic and financial performance of fruit production. A random sample of 151 fruit growers in the Shobak area in Jordan has been interviewed using a research questionnaire developed based on a set of previous relevant studies. The study used a Five-point Likert Scale to determine the level of adopting sustainability practices by fruit producers in the area. The study's results revealed that adopting sustainability practices results in high positive values of productivity index and profitability measures such as gross margin, net farm income and net profit margin, and debt to assets ratio. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that the adoption of sustainability measures be promoted in other regions of fruit production in Jordan.Keywords: Sustainability; Practices; Fruit Production; Profitability

Abstract Biochar and compost can greatly impact soil chemical and physical properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of using biochar and compost on soil properties and mitigation of climate change impact. Compost, biochar, and biochar-compost mixture were added to the soil, soil organic matter (SOM) content, concentrations of the oxidizable organic carbon (OOC) and the total organic carbon (TOC)) were measured. The experiment was conducted in the National Agricultural Research Center, Al-Khaledeyyah Agricultural Research Station, Mafraq. Biochar and compost were added to soil individually at the percentages of 10%, 25%, and 50%, each. The biochar-compost mixture was added to the soil too at the percentages of 10%, 25%, and 50%. The results revealed that at 50% biochar-compost mixture (consisting of 50% biochar and 50% compost) increases SOM content from 1.5% to 9.3%; the concentration of the OOC increased from 0.05 mg.kg-1 to 4.9 mg.kg-1 ; and the concentration of the TOC increased from 1.0 mg.kg-1 to 6.1 mg.kg-1 . The results of this study illustrate that the 50% biochar-compost mixture affected the highest increase in the concentration of the OOC, TOC and SOM content in the soil. These findings demonstrate that soil treatment with a 50% mixture of biochar and compost does sharply increase its organic matter content. Keywords: Biochar, Compost, Soil, Climate change, Jordan
Apple pomace is a high-quality source of pectin. Organic pectin can be used as an alternative chemical food additive in food processing. Objective: To evaluate optimal condition for extraction of pectin from apple pomace using hydrochloric and citric acids. Methods: Pectin was extracted from apple pomace and dry apple pomace using deionized water and hydrochloric acids to maintain pH (1.8-2.8). 20 ml of 2 N (NaOH), 50 ml of 1 M acetic acid, and 50 ml of 0.5 M calcium chloride were added to the solution. After filtering the solution, ethanol and boiling tests were performed to extract pectin. Results: Pectin was produced in brown color, and a higher pectin yield of 13.6% was observed from dry apple pomace using citric acid extraction methods, compared to 9.3% from apple pomace. Conclusion: It has been found that pectin has gelling agent properties and can be used in many food processing industries. Index Terms: Food, process, conventional, pomace
The distinctive qualities and wide array of possible applications of nanotechnology have garnered considerable attention. Nanotechnology offers a groundbreaking way for expanding agricultural output that is also ecologically benign, helpful to living things, and economically priced—all without losing quality. There is a growing trend towards using eco-friendly technologies as substitutes for conventional agricultural inputs, such as fertilizers and insecticides. With the aid of nanotechnology, the confines of conventional farming techniques can be overcome. As a result, it becomes essential for investigators to devote their energies to the noteworthy nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture investigations that have been distributed. It offered a fresh perspective on the development and application of nanoparticles as nanofertilizers and nano-pesticides in agriculture and a way to heighten bio-factor execution. Furthermore, we discuss the relations of NPs with plants, the perils and putrefaction of nanomaterials in plants, and the utility of NPs in the reduction of stress triggered by heavy metal toxicity and abiotic factors. It is imperative that nano-fertilizers are practiced to reduce the environmental maltreatment caused by conventional, inorganic fertilizers. Nano-fertilizers are more sensitive and have the ability to penetrate the epidermis, empowering them to promote nutrient consumption efficiency while reducing nutrient overabundance. A study found that NPs may cause oxidative stress symptoms in higher plants if they adhere to cell surfaces or organelles. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of using nano-fertilizers instead of conventional fertilizers is valuable, and it is the purpose of this book chapter to provide this information
In Jordan, the public is still unaware of the fate and impact of pesticide application. This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes, knowledge and practices of undergraduate students enrolled in various academic departments at the Faculty of Agriculture, Mutah University, Jordan toward pesticides’ residues in food and feed. Students were questioned about their social aspects, and food and feed safety knowledge and resources. Responses have been obtained from 209 responding students. Results indicated that the cross-section through the Faculty of Agriculture, Mutah University, Jordan appears a satisfactory. The findings show that respondents are very highly concerned about human health, food safety, and the risk of environmental pollution, and they have a real desire to reduce the use of pesticides. Respondents had a moderate level of knowledge about food safety, pesticides’ side effects, pesticides’ residues in food or feed, and usage of pesticides in homes and gardens. According to the respondents, the most common way that people are exposed to pesticide residues is by consuming pesticide residues in food. The respondents expressed a moderate level of concern about their attitudes toward organic farming adoption. Correlations between demographic variables and knowledge of food and feed safety, involving a workshop on food/feed safety, care about human health as well as environmental pollution, and looking for information on food/feed safety were reported in the study.
The occurrence of the basidiomycete Amantia manginiana is reported for the first time in Jordan. The large crumbly white wild mushroom was collected from woodland during December 2014 from Dabouq in Jordan. All morphological characteristics including cap, stem, gills, and spores were recorded. The mycelium was isolated by aseptically removing a small part of the fruiting body and transferring it onto the potato dextrose agar plate. After four days of incubation at 25-30 °C in the dark, a pure culture was obtained. Sequence analysis of a partial fragment of 28S nuclear large subunit (nLSU) in the ribosomal RNA gene of the isolated strains included the new strain within taxon Amanita manginiana with 95% similarity to Genebank accession No. KP161281 and 91% to Genebank accession No. AF024463.1 respectively. According to morphological characteristics and molecular sequence analysis, the mushroom was identified as Amanita manginiana and recorded for the first time in Jordan.
Pleurotus is considered an important genus that belongs to the family Pleurotaceae and includes the edible King Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii). In the present study, 19 Pleurotus isolates were collected from two locations in the north of Jordan (Tell ar-Rumman and Um-Qais). The morphological characteristics among collected isolates revealed that there was a morphological similarity among the collected isolates. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1–5.8S rDNA– ITS4 region) and 28S nuclear large subunit (nLSU) in the ribosomal DNA gene of the isolated stains showed that all of them share over 98% sequence similarity with P. eryngii. Genetic diversity among the collected strains was assessed using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis using 18 different primer pairs. Using this approach, 141 out of 196 bands obtained were considered polymorphic and the highest percentage of polymorphism was observed using primer UBC827 (92.3%) with an overall Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) value of 70.56%. Cluster analysis showed that the Jordanian Pleurotus isolates fall into two main clades with a coefficient of similarity values ranging from 0.59 to 0.74 with a clear clustering based on collection sites. The results of the present study reveal that molecular techniques of ISSR and rDNA sequencing can greatly aid in classification and identification of Pleurotus spp. in Jordan. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a clear association with geographical distribution and collection sites. In future, selection for suitable techniques for a large scale production and commercialization accompanied with breeding strategies with strains of other related populations is needed for king oyster mushroom in Jordan.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) is one of the most popular and important commercial vegetable crops grown throughout the world. Tomato is a rich source of various micronutrients and antioxidants. One of the major causes of poor quality and fruit loss during storage and transport are diseases caused by phyto-pathogenic fungi. Fusarium wilt of tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum lycopersici becomes one of a limiting factor in the production of tomato and accounts for yield losses in Jordan and the whole world. It is considered as one of the most prevalent and damaging diseases wherever tomatoes are grown because the pathogen persists in infested soils. Pathogenic fungi of the genus Fusarium, cause root and basal stem deterioration and result in the wilting of vegetable plants. Browning of the vascular tissue is a strong evidence of fusarium wilt. Because of hazards of pesticides in general, and fungicides in specific, on public health and environmental balance, new direction of pest control management was introduced. Biological management of Fusarium wilt of tomato using bio-fortified composts associated with selected biological control agents (Fungal and bacterial species) is studied. Recently, different reports stated that some plant extracts and plant essential oils have been reported to be effective antimicrobial agents against food and stored grain fungi, foliar pathogens, and soil-borne fungal phyto-pathogens. This review is aimed at investigating the occurrence of Fusarium wilt of Tomato in Jordan and summarizing the best ways of management and control, especially the biological means.
