Abstract

This research aimed to identify the role of field schools in the farmers' knowledge of the recommendations for integrated control of fall armyworm in the villages of Qalyubia Governorate, to identify the degree of participation in field schools and benefit from them, and to determine the correlation between the overall degree of farmers' knowledge of recommendations for integrated control and the independent variables, obstacles and proposals for solutions to them, and the data was collected. Using a personal interview questionnaire, it was conducted in Qalyubia because it is one of the governorates where 48 field schools were implemented. This research included 1,200 farmers. To determine the sample size, the Craigs and Morgan table was used by comparing the total with the corresponding sample, which was 291 respondents. Some statistical methods were used. The most important result was the existence of a significant relationship between the total degree of the respondents' knowledge of integrated pest control recommendations and the variable number of years of experience in agriculture, so it was a correlation coefficient. Pearson was 0.119 at the 0.05 level, and there was a significant relationship for the variables of profession, the degree of participation in field school activities, and the degree of exposure to information sources. The Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.201, 0.191, and 0.221 at the 0.01 level. The most important obstacles are the conflict between the dates of them and being busy in field work by 94.5%
