| Abstract | ||||
| This study aimed mainly to study the acceptance range farmers for practices concerning adaptation to climate changes, and then the impact on productivity and crop net income. The descriptive, quantitative and statistical analysis in addition, stepwise-multiple regression and image double logarithmic deltoid are used, A questionnaire is designed and administered to a random sample of 155 farmers in Villages, El-Abadya, Nedaiba, and Sharnob of Damanhour district, El-Beheira Governorate. From analysis study to farmers acceptance level for practices concerning adaptation to climate changes and reducing the impact of high temperature on the productivity of agricultural crops, that it has a negative impact on net farm income: it has concluded a large number of results, including the following: 1- It turns out that 49% of respondents are aware of and familiarity with manifestations of risk posed by climate changes and its negative impacts on agricultural production. 2- Show a relative decrease in the level of respondent, I acceptance for practices concerning adaptation to climate changes, that the percentage of respondents low and middle acceptance together 74.2%, while the respondents high acceptance accounted for only 25.8% of the total respondents farmers. 3- Show that each of the following variables: age, educational level, social participation official, sources of agricultural information, the attitude towards change and accept new ideas, and net farm income annual, is negligible when developing agricultural Extension Policy geared towards farmers to adaptation to climate changes, and reduce the adverse effects of high temperature and that negatively effect on the productivity and net farm income. 4- From study the problems impeding on the acceptance practices concerning to climate changes, it turns out that these problems in descending order are the emergence of a negative impact on the effectiveness of pesticides (60.4%), high temperature helps to increase evaporation, the need for the plant to rates quench relatively higher at the time decreasing the water resources, the lack of improved varieties of seed resistant to high temperature, spread of weeds insects and plant diseases in different crops, especially in the summer season, and low productivity per crops, especially in the summer seasons, and low productivity per feddan of different crops is relatively a result of high temperature and then a negative impact on net farm income (41.7%). In light of the results of this research could be reached several recommendations can be used to raise the level of farmers' acceptance of practices concerning adaptation to climate changes and reduce its negative effects on agricultural production. | ||||
