Abstract

This research mainly aims to study the farmers' adoption of some agricultural mechanization methods at Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. Two districts were random by basket from among the governorate's districts, and they were Kafr El-Sheikh and Qalin districts. With the same criterion, one village was selected from each district. The village of Sandala was from Kafr El-Sheikh district, and Al-Manshiya Al-Kubra was from Qalin district. The population research was represented in 1889 holders, (914 and 975 holders) respectively, and a regular random sample of 188 respondents was drawn at a rate of 10% of them with (91 and 97 respondents) respectively. It used of several statistical tools in analyzing the data were: percentage, frequencies, mean, and standard deviation. The most important results of the research focused on: that 36.6%, 59.6%, and 72.9% of the respondents had heard about the methods of agricultural mechanization (agriculture machines, crop-serving machines, and harvesting machines). And that 93.6%, 85.6%, and 55.3% of them, respectively had low and medium knowledge of its advantages. And that 19.7%, 42%, and 61.2% of them, respectively have applied these methods in their farms for more than three years. That 19.1%, 38.8% and 29.3% of them respectively had adopted these methods in their farms. The most important reasons for not adopting these methods were: the lack of availability at the stations in the suitable time (81.8%), the difficulty of using them in small holdings (77.8%) and the high costs of using (74.9%).
