The results showed that the different coverage methods have a higher production rate of 39.26%-41.22%, than the control treatment （blank） without covering, so yield-increasing effect was significant. As annual rainfall is around 1,250 mm and the control treatment（blank） without covering, the whole year of fertilizer runoff was 175 mm, the average soil content of runoff water was 2.22 g/L, and the total amount of soil loss was 3585.0 kg/ha. The treatment with farmer fertilization practice ＋ plastic film mulching annual runoff water was 153 mm, the average soil content of runoff water was 2.30 g/L, and the total soil loss of volume was 3183.0 kg/ha. The treatment with optimize fertilization ＋ plastic film mulching annual runoff water was 141mm, the average soil content of runoff water was 2.42 g/L, and the total amount of soil loss was 2958.0 kg/ha. Sugarcane leaves covered treatment runoff did not occur throughout the year. The coverage of treatment compared with the control treatment, runoff water reduction is in the range of 12.6-16.0%, is 15.8-23.8% reduction in the amount of runoff soil. Treatment with no fertilization nutrient N loss was 5.760 kg/ha, and P205 loss was 2.565 kg/ha in runoff water. Farmer fertilization treatments the nutrient N loss was 12.435 kg/ha, and the loss P205 was mulching treatment nutrient N loss was 7.755 kg/ha, and P205 loss was 3.960 kg/ha in water runoff. Optimizing fertilization ＋ plastic 3.540 kg/ha in runoff water.展开更多

Over 48% of its area is grown in Qena governorate. The agricultural extension system should identify problems and needs for farmers and provide them with their solutions. The main objective of this paper was to know production and marketing problems for sugar cane growers in Qena govemorate, Egypt. Six focus groups were organized for farmers in two villages and a survey was conducted on 224 extension personnel or 93 % of all extension personnel at districts and villages levels in Qena govemorate to collect necessary data. The most important perceived production problems were： spread of weeds and insects, weak role of agricultural extension, shortage and high costs of fertilizers and labor, and high costs of production, insecticides and irrigation. The most important perceived marketing problems were： high costs and unsystematic cutting, shortage and high costs of transportation, delay of cutting and delivery of product to the factory, inaccurate weigh and low prices of the product. A great role lies on the agricultural extension system to identify such problems and provide farmers with their solutions in order to increase the agricultural productivity of this crop in Qena govemorate.展开更多
