The research mainly aimed at identifying the degree of trend of the farmers concerned towards the development of field irrigation in Al-Beheira Governorate.

The centers of Kafr El Dawar and Abu Homs were selected on AlMahmoudiya Canal, which implements the field irrigation development project.

The research data were collected by means of the questionnaire, Of the farmers benefiting from the field irrigation development amounted to 320 respondents according to Herbert Arken equation of the total farmers benefiting from the field irrigation development area funded by only the World Bank in both centers (50437) respondents, , the simple correlation coefficient (Pearson),and the multiple regression coefficient The results of the research showed that the majority of the surveyed farmers (52.19%) had a positive trend towards field irrigation development.

The results indicated a significant positive correlation between the degree of trend towards field irrigation development and the variable of openness to the outside world (0,05).

The correlation between the dependent variable and the educational level of the respondent, the informal social participation, the exposure to the sources of information, the degree of innovation, the total acquisition of agricultural machinery, and the variable of irrigation channels development, The significance of each of the following independent variables was found to be significant: the educational level of the researcher, informal social participation, exposure to sources of information, degree of innovation, total acquisition of agricultural machinery, development of irrigation channels, Irrigation, at a significant level (0.01) based on the value of (t) calculated 4,644, 3,596, 2,759, 2,233, 3,120, 3,432, 4,908 respectively, % of the changes in the degree of trend of the farmers concerned towards the development of field irrigation based on the value of the coefficient of determination (R2 ) (0.682).

The most prominent justification for the participation of farmers in field irrigation development was from their point of view: reducing the time needed to complete the irrigation process, reducing the cost of irrigation due to the use of diesel, saving wasted water due to evaporation and evaporation, In irrigation, the cost of cleaning the earthworms from weeds, reducing the number of lift places, irrigation machines and irrigation.

The most important problems that limit the participation of farmers in the field irrigation development from their point of view: lack of maintenance for irrigation stations, Lack of original spare parts for irrigation stations, There is no technical support trained for maintenance, increased costs of construction of stations and marinas, frequent malfunction due to misuse, irrigated committee does not work to solve problems among farmers, there is no role for the agricultural extension system in raising awareness of the benefits of field irrigation development, Reduces the efficiency of water transport and distribution, the number of valves does not fit with the area of the cultivated land.
