In 2019, the highest production and the largest area at Fayoum governorate, while the lowest production and the lowest area at Giza governorate. The insecticides have the minimum value (26.02 L.E./Feddan) for the mean of production inputs costs, while the labor wages have the maximum value (833.99 L.E./Feddan) for the mean of production inputs costs. The study results indicate that labor wages and seeds cost are significant at the level of 5%. The study recommends improve the skills and training of labor.
