Abstract

Study aims to shed light on the current status of the production of the
most important medical plants and aromatic province in Beni-swef
governorate, through the identification of conditions for production and the
factors that affect it, as well as the most important problems and obstacles
encountered in the production and marketing of the final product. To achieve
this study was the application of crop Chamomile, parsley, Dill and Aromatic
using statistical descriptive analysis and quantitative dependent on the initial
data was collected through a simple random sample using the method of
personal interview, and the study found the following results:
1- For the record to assess the functions of production shows that the most
important factors affecting the production of the crop seedlings are
Chamomile thousand seedlings (X3) and automated hourly work (X6) and
nitrogenous fertilizer nitrous units (X4) and the use of economic
transactions and the flexibility it positive, and for of Aromatic found that
the most important factors affecting the work is automated hourly (X6),
and human labor man/day (X7) and the use of economic transactions,
flexibility and positive. For crop Dill factors contribute more to the
interpretation of the dependent variable is the regression model, where the
progress of these variables is the work of human man / day (X7) and
Automated hourly work (X6) phosphate fertilizer and phosphate units (X5)
by the contribution amounted to 99.8% and that the use of economic and
flexible transactions positive. And parsley for the crop was found to be
more factors make the interpretation of the dependent variable is the
regression model, where the progress of these variables is nitrogenous
fertilizer nitrous units (X4) and the municipal compost in cubic meters
(X2) by the contribution amounted to about 98% and use of economic
transactions and the flexibility positive.
2- For the record to estimate the cost functions for crop production Chamomile
size of maximum production about 6.4 tons of grass/fead of productive
optimal size of the civil costs estimated at about 2.35 tons of acres of
grass, and for the size Aromatic found productive profit of about 39.44 kg
of oil/fead of optimum size of the civil costs amounted to about 24.72 kg
of oil/fead. In the case of crop Dill, as far as the production volume of the
holy profit of about 31.07 tons of grass and acres of productive optimal
size of the civil costs estimated at about 13.25 tons of grass acres, while
the total volume parsley crop production around the holy-profit 17.09 tons
of grass and acres of productive optimal size of the civil costs estimated at
about 14.43 tons of grass/fead. This indicates the possibility of expansion
and investment in this area as it requires investments in view of the high
cost of production is indicated as a mechanism of production and cost
parameters and to return the rule of the phenomenon of increasing
capacity.
