| Abstract | ||
| The research mainly aimed at determining the knowledge and operational level of wheat crop growers with good agricultural practices to reduce the effects of climate change in Fayoum governorate, and to determine the correlation between the knowledge and operational level of those practices and their independent variables studied. To identify the problems facing the farmer and their proposals to overcome these problems in the production of wheat crop, and to achieve the research objectives, the research data were collected by personal interview using the questionnaire form, The research was conducted on a random sample of 198 researchers selected from among wheat farmers in the six largest villages in which wheat cultivation is concentrated from the center of Tammieh, Fayoum, and Etsa in Fayoum governorate, and the data were collected during the months of January and February of 2025. Frequency and percentage tables were used to display the data, and the weighted mean and chi-square were used to analyze it, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The most important results of the research were: 73.7% and 79.8% of the respondents, respectively, had an average level of knowledge and implementation of good agricultural practices to reduce the effects of climate change on wheat. The results also showed a significant relationship between the level of farmers’ knowledge and implementation of good agricultural practices to reduce the effects of climate change on wheat and all the independent variables studied, except for the cultivated area. And to benefit from the sources of information, it was found that there is no significant correlation between them and the level of knowledge and implementation of farmers of these practices. The most important problems facing farmers were: the spread of fungal diseases, especially the yellow striped rust disease, and the high prices of fertilizers and pesticides necessary for the crop. Their most important suggestions to overcome these problems were: increasing wheat supply prices, supporting wheat seed prices, increasing the fertilizer quota for wheat, cleaning canals and drains, solving the problem of irrigation water shortages and improving the rotation system. | ||
