Rice straw, due to the increase in plant waste year after year, and the decrease in environmental awareness among the majority of farmers. The study was conducted at the level of Sharkia governorate and through the geographical distribution of rice straw at the level of the Sharkia centers. About 10.3% of the average production of Sharkia Governorate during the study period. The study relied on the first two sources in the preliminary data obtained from the questionnaire form.

Eightyfive percent of the study sample had an idea of recycling. The largest source of their knowledge is the role of the agricultural association and the agricultural supervisor, and the farmers' proposals for tobacco The number of straws on the eastern level was estimated at 49.7 thousand pounds. If they were recycled, they would achieve a material return of 24 million pounds, and the amount of hay at the level of the republic was estimated at 2.91 million tons. In addition, it was found that the center of Zagazig ranked first in terms of the amount of rice straw burned in the governorate (the most needy centers are aware of the pollution of the environment, which increases the risk that it is considered the highest place Population density in Sharkia governorate. | ||||
