| Abstract | ||
| Egyptian agricultural strategy (SADS) 2030 aims to horizontal increase of planted area of Egypt, and sights for low fertility of the sandy soils and lack of water holding capacity became a first priority for searching in methods of increasing water holding capacity of the sandy soils, and on the same time maintaining and increasing irrigation water use efficiency and in next raising efficiency of fertilization process and hence then raising of fertilizers use efficiency of which give chance for planting new desert lands due to increasing use efficiency of production factors “land, waters, fertilizers and energy sources ” which what goal be in agreement with governorate towards agricultural sustainable development . The study aims to create economy evaluation and searching for qualification the organic soil conditioner “Hunds Soil” and assessment of their effects on increase efficiency of use of the resources of the agricultural employee is identical of increase productivity of unit area of feedan (4200 m2) and quantitative saving of irrigation waters, the employed fertilizers and the energy in the agriculture on reclaimed sandy soils.The study searching depended on the results for supervision of Nubaria agricultural research station on three fields for agriculture output of the wheat area two from them about 10 feddan and the third in surveyors 1 feddan in the same area of farm of food security of army in the kilos 90 desert road of Alexandrian- Cairo, first used in it the new assembled organic soil conditioner " Hunds Soil " as beneficent for the soil, the second field of the farmer for comparative does not use any benefactors for the soil andthe third field employee compost as other organic fertilizer of and beneficent benefactor for the soil. Results of the economy evaluation for the organic soil conditioner “Hunds Soil” indicated that area wheat grain productivity and net return for productive area of Hunds Soil increased over farmer field in manners 21,8%, 28,7% on the arrangement, in the other hand for the compost field increases about 7,1%, 24,4% respectively. just as appeared stubborn pointing measurement competing the benifit/cost ratio shows that returning to the costs that the invested pound in Hunds Soil field achieved of net return amount in manners 2,83 pound opposite about 1,95 pound for field of the farmer, and 1,66 pound removed in the compost field. As for regarding the social returns of use the beneficent soil conditioner Hunds Soil saving in quantity of irrigation water comparing with the employee farmer field and compost field in manners 50,9% be possible to use in irrigation about 1,04 feddan more, just as saving be possible about 38 kg nitrogen as (about 115 kg nitrogen fertilizer), and About35,25 liter solar of result for drop of number of hours of irrigation in Hunds Soil field in manners 23,5 hr, just as use realized the beneficent Hunds Soil his added value total afforded in manners 1110,8 pound per one feddan for the farmer field and 455,3 pound removed/feddan about field of compost. just as containers net of saving in production elements used is power evaluated her in manners 1655,3 pound for the feddan. | ||
