Abstract EN

The problem of research is the decline and decrease of production of faba bean, due to its exposure to viral diseases which caused serious damage to the crop,.

On the other hand, due to the government policy to increase the area of wheat the other winter crops area including beans was decreased.

The aim of this research is to study the effect of applying the recommendations of agricultural packages and good practices in extension fields compared to normal fields on increasing production, revenues, net yield and marketing efficiency of faba bean crop.

This was done through a sample taken from the Nubaria area.

The main results: - Decreased area and yield of faba bean by 3.4% and 9.2%, respectively.

- Increasing production costs are more than increase net feddan yield The average increase by 2.44.

- domestic consumption does not reflect the real local demand for faba beans.The decrease in the quantities available for domestic consumption leads to an increase in the price of faba beans at the consumer level.

- The increase in the export price limits the amount of imports sufficient to meet the needs of the growing domestic demand for faba beans.

This led to a decrease in the rate of self-sufficiency of faba bean to about 26.06% during the study period.

- The increase in the agricultural price by one Egyptian pound per ton leads to an increase of about 0.09 thousand feddan in the area of the faba bean, while the increase of areas wheat cause an increased by about 1000 feddan leading to a decrease of about 0.19 thousand feddan in the area of faba beans and increase the imports quantity of faba beans by one thousand ton leading to a decrease of about 1.20 thousand feddan in the area of beans The ratio of Benefits/Cost amounted to about 2.96 pound in the normal fields, compared to 3.18 in the extension fields at an increase rate of about 0.22 pounds representing about 7.6%.

- The net yield per feddan in the extension fields increased by an increase rate of about 2525 LE per feddan against the normal fields with an increase percent of about 28%.

- The percentage of reduction of marketing costs amounted to about 5.09% from the normal field.

As a result of the contracting authority is responsible for the marketing costs through the collection process until the transfer and marketing process.

- There is no role of intermediaries in the extension fields because the marketing process is the contracting authority.

- The increase in the marketing margin of the producer in the extension fields against the normal fields due to the decline of the role of wholesalers at this stage.

- The decrease in the percentage of losses from the collection and cleaning process and the removal of impurities for the faba bean yield in the extension fields is about 3.5 Ardab compared to the normal fields.

- A positive relationship between human labor, nitrogen fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers and production, on the other hand a negative relationship between chemical pesticides and production .

The research recommends the following recommendations: 1– there is need to apply the system of contractual policy as a comprehensive model of extension fields, to ensure the farmer about marketing the crop at the right price and the elimination of intermediaries.

2- Work on the development of new varieties which enjoy of high productivity, bear diseases and resistance to insects besides access to fertilizers at the time of availability in the market and storage well.

3- The necessary to return and activate the role of agricultural extension with the availability of information on the best varieties, the good practices of cultivation, storage and marketing.
