Abstract EN

The research aimed to study the current situation of farmers adopting the techniques of secondary products recycling for the important main crops in three villages of the Beheira Governorate.

The simple random sample amounted to 180 respondents, representing 5% of the total.

The results: 51.1% have low exposure to agricultural knowledge sources, 68.9% have a negative and neutral attitude towards environmental protection, 41.7% have high knowledge of secondary products recycling techniques, their most important knowledge sources are parents and neighbors 93.3%, their own experience 87.8 65.56% of them adopted low crop by-product recycling techniques, hay ranked first in adoption with average 20.55, secondly silage work 17.13, the technique of cutting fodder in the third rank with average 16.01, in the fourth rank came the technique of composting with an average 14.96, then the technique of treating waste with urea solution in the fifth with an average 7.64 and then the technique of treating waste with ammonia gas in the sixth rank with an average 6.5.

The results of the regression function showed that the six independent variables that are significantly related to the second dependent variable together explain 43% of the total variance in the respondents' adoption of the techniques of recycling for secondary products of the main crops as a second dependent variable.

In order to find out the most influential independent variables in the second dependent variable - the respondents’ adoption of the techniques of recycling by-products of the main crops - the model of progressively ascending multiple regression analysis was used, through which it was found that four independent variables combined together explain 42% of the total variance in the degree of respondents’ adoption of technologies recycling secondary products of the main crops.
