The results showed that share of produce which paid by consumer was (82%) as a one of indicators of high marketing efficiency , the producer prof it was about (68%), and profit of the wholesale trader about (18%), and profit of retailer profit about (14%). The study estimate the relative importance of item of the marketing margin between producer and consumer , the relative importance of profits of wholesale trader ca

As a result of different quality standards for irrigation water and the varying ion composition, and the fact that classification of irrigation water consists of large and complex data, this study was conducted in order to find a way for combining the complex water quality data into a single value, a quality of irrigation water index (IWQI) which reflects the suitability of the water quality for irrigation. Irrigation water quality variables were divided into five groups according to Food and Agriculture Organization FAO guide. The order of the parameters were, Salinity expressed in electrical conductivity (EC), Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), Toxicity of specific ions (boron, chloride, sodium, Toxic trace elements and Miscellaneo

Micronutrients can be considered as one of the main component for high and good quality agricultural products and human health.  Many Researchers and Scientists around the world indicated that more than 3 billion person around the world affected by shortage in micronutrients especially Fe and Zn .This problem cannot be solved through food additives at developing poor countries and Biofortification is the only answer through naturally enriched agricultural products with micronutrients.  Micronutrients can limit food quality and quantity in spite of the low amounts required by crops compared to macronutrients. Micronutrient are available in different formulas and structures as mineral ,synthetic chelated and organic ferti

In order to identify maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes had tolerate  drought, Seven drought indices and 18 maize genotypes were used,  to determine the efficiency of theses indices to identify tolerant and susceptible genotypes, Also interpretation the relationship between these indices using  principle component , cluster of multivariate analysis and rank-sum method.  The results indicated that MP, GMP, and STI were positively and significant correlated with Yp and Ys. Therefore, these indices have the potential to identify genotypes own well performance to stress and non-stress  conditions. Screening drought tolerant genotypes using these indices discriminating&nbs
