Abstract

The Egyptian agricultural sector suffers from many problems caused by various types of agricultural residues resulting from production activities. Burning reduces soil fertility and leads to hazardous environmental threats to human and animals. The expansion of the cultivated crop areas and the increasing number of animal farms introduce enormous agricultural waste. This encourages researchers to seek ways for recycling waste and produce, for example, organic fertilizers (Compost) and biogases. The study revealed that production of organic ferlitizer (compost) from plant waste increases the net economic return by values approaching 2.1692 billion pounds annually. Using a recycled organic product on cultivation of selected crops in this study may increases the production value by 2863 million pounds annually. Production of biogas from plant waste (kerosene) is estimated around 1.1364 billion liters per year. Animal waste, on the other hand, could be used to produce manure with return that is estimated at about 13.05 million liters/day.
