The major factors influencing tomato crop production in Asyut Governorate , both in old and new lands , are : human labor , natural fertilizers , azotic fertilizers , potassium fertilizers , as well as the amount of seeds for new lands . The production elasticity for such item was 0.275 , 0.170 , 0.984 and 0.108 respectively . The economic efficiency for azotic fertilizers was more distinguished than other items in both the old and the new lands with 16.99 and 15.78 respectively . It was shown that the revenue total cost ratio for winter tomato was 2.07 and 2.092 for old and new lands respectively , whereas the net revenue total costs ratio was 1.07 for old lands , and 1.09 for new lands .
