Abstract: In an endeavor to alleviate the inherent problems an agricultural production such as water shortages, desertification and salinity……. some possible manipulation on soil and seeds were evaluated . Field experiment was carried out to achieve the main objective of this research, at El-Ismailia Research Station, El-Ismailia Governorate, for two successive winter seasons (2012\2013 and 2013\2014 ), to determine the best treatment possible on amelioration of sandy loam soil properties and its productivity, of Faba bean crop Giza 717 under drip irrigation system, and irrigated well water salinity. Seed soaking in some solutions' of different components for 2 hours before cultivation, as well as the different addition of magnetic iron ore (magnetite) at a rate of 150 kg fed-1. one of the treatment for magnetically water, and a mixture ores(control) at a rate of 200 kg fed-1. in both the soil alone. The obtained data showed that addition any of the previous treatments led to an improvement in some of the physical and chemical properties, due to increasing the moisture content of the soil; available water; hydraulic conductivity values. While, bulk density, total calcium carbonate ,soil penetration, ECe and pH were decreased by using soil treatment with magnetic iron ore (magnetite ) comparing using the mixture ores (control). Furthermore, Biotwol spray with the treatment of magnetic iron ore gave highest values of the yield (1470 kg fed-1. ) compared with spraying yeast with either magnetic iron ore or a mixture of ores (control).
