The sample was stratified random sample includes 115 682 AHMED MOHAMMED farmer from villages in Hosh Eissa center in Behiera governorate. The methodology included the general time trend equations, the farm budget, the dummy variables model to analyze the data and to indicate the results. The most important results indicated that the big size farms were most economic efficient with high production and total and net return for feddan and ton, and best return for the invested pound, and least average total cost for ton comparing with the medium and small farms. The results indicated that there are no significant differences in sugar beet productivity according to planting method, seed quantity, seed species, irrigation time, number of fertilizer additions, and quantity of fertilizer. The results indicated that there significant positive impact for the method of leveling the soil for plantations, plantation date, number of irrigations, number of fertilizer additions and the quantity of fertilizer on sugar beet productivity. Sugar beet productivity reached 12.36 ton per feddan with normal soil leveling and late plantation and less than 8 irrigations, and once fertilizer addition, and fertilizer quantity less than 50 units, compared by soil leveling by laser, and planting in medium season, and irrigations number more than 10 irrigations and fertilizer addition to twice, and fertilizer quantity between 50-75 unites, give high productivity equals 22.31 ton per feddan. | ||
