The sorghum crop is one of the important food grain crops in Egypt, as it is considered the third summer cereal crop after rice and sorghum in terms of area.

42 farms less than an acre 38 farms from an acre to less than 3 acres 26 farms more than three acres with the sample of the study for the 2021 agricultural season in Assiut governorate.

the statistical and regression analysis method, in addition to using the data envelope analysis (DEAP) model to estimate the technical and economic efficiency of the research sample farms.

the most important findings of the research were the following : as for the amount of inputs that achieved economic efficiency in the research sample, it was found that the average cultivated area, human work, number of human work hours, quantity of seeds, quantity of units of nitrogen fertilizer, quantity of pesticides, and quantity of municipal fertilizer should be reduced by 2.9%, 10.8%, 18.4%, 2.9%, 5.7%, 7.7% and 22.15% for each of them, respectively, and the results of the study also indicate in relation to the amount of inputs achieved for economic efficiency in light of the fixed return on capacity, that the average cultivated area should be reduced human work, the number of human work hours, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer units, the amount of pesticides, the amount of municipal fertilizer by 12.1%, 33.10%, 17.93%, 31,25%, 22.40% and 18.87% for each of them respectively, while it is necessary to increase the quantity of seeds by about 9.33% of the average, as for the amount of inputs that achieve economic efficiency in the event of a change in capacity, it was found that the average cultivated area, human labor, the number of human work hours, the amount of units of nitrogen fertilizer, the amount of pesticides, and the amount of municipal fertilizer should be reduced by 6.89%, 19.84%, 14.23%, 30.11%, 13.11%, and 7.43% for each of them, respectively, while it is necessary to increase the quantity of seeds by about 9.70% of the average for the total sample.

in light of the obtained results, the research recommends the necessity of : 1-the use of production resources in line with the needs of the crop, which was determined by the study, to reach the optimum degree of efficiency.

2-raising awareness of farmers about the need to redistribute the economic resources used in the production of sorghum in a way that reduces waste in the resources used and to the extent achieved for efficiency.

3-studying the prices of production resources when setting production plans, which leads to achieving economic efficiency.
