Abstract EN

This study aimed to Estimating the amount of wheat crop loss during the production.

by studying the self-sufficiency rate during the period (2005-2019).

estimating the amount of losses during harvest and the equivalent economic effects For this loss.

the statistical analysis the factors affecting the harvest loss of the wheat crop using the dummy variables method.

estimating of the economic effects equivalent to the loss of the wheat crop.

the causes of the loss.

It was found that the self-sufficiency rate decreased by about 1.53% annually.

at a statistically significant decrease rate estimated at about 2.83% of the arithmetic average of the self-sufficiency rate of about 54.10%.

By studying the development of wheat crop production in Gharbia Governorate.

By statistical analysis of the most important factors affecting the loss of wheat acres.

It was found that the amount of wastage increased from about 249.799 kg in the case of early harvest and by the automatic method and the use of merchant cars to transport the crop to about 373.122 kg in the case of late harvest of the crop and about 397.429 kg in the case of manual harvesting While it was clear that there was no significant effect of the difference in the means of transporting the crop to the places.

By studying the economic effects equivalent to the loss of the wheat crop.

the causes of the loss and methods of solving them.

It was found that the average total loss of wheat crop for the first holding category amounted to about 337.5 kg.

equivalent to about 12.8% of the feddan productivity.

and its value at the farm price was about 1576.13 pounds.

equivalent to about 307.2 square meters / acre.

and this means that 211.24 meters of irrigation water were wasted.

And for the second holding category.

the results of the study showed that the average amount of wheat crop loss was about 286.5 kg.

equivalent to about 10.4% of the feddan productivity.

and its value at the farm price was about 1337.96 pounds.

equivalent to about 249.6 square meters / acre.

and this means that 209.3 meters 3 were wasted.

Irrigation water as a result of this percentage of wastage.

By studying the economic and technical effects equivalent to the loss of the wheat crop in Gharbia Governorate.

it was found that the average amount of wheat crop loss amounted to about 25.19 thousand ardebs.

equivalent to about 11.6% of the total production of the governorate of about 2.17 million ardebs.

and the value of the loss at the farm price reached about 176.31 million 1 pound.

the equivalent of about 1.52 thousand feddans.

which means that 3.55 million m3 of irrigation water were wasted.And It has been shown that the most important causes of loss are the abundance of rodents in the field and storage places.

the lack of seeds to resist charring.

the ineffectiveness of the collective pesticides in combating fungal diseases.

the lack of modern machinery for harvesting.

the delay in harvesting.

By about 22.18%.

19.80%.

16.38%.

12.63%.

of the sample respondents indicated that.

respectively.

Recommendations: From above results.

the following recommendations could be stated: 1- The necessity to expand the use of mechanical technology in harvesting to reduce the percentage of waste.

2- Activating the role of agricultural extension agents by educating farmers not to leave the crop for a long time in the field after it has ripened.

3- Providing government outlets to receive the crop in villages and silos in the centers.
