Economic Study of the Use of Renewable Energy and Technology in Growing Summer Tomatoes

Abstract

The agricultural sector occupies an important place among the sectors of the national economy, so we must increase the average yield per acre of agricultural crops, more than By using what was developed in the field of modern technology, so renewable energy and technology is the most appropriate in all these current Egyptian economic changes.Where the production functions using the log-stage model show that the production of the summer tomato crop using solar irrigation during the season 2019, that the model used as a whole is significant at the probability level (0.01), where it was found that there is a statistically positive relationship between the quantity of production (r) per ton, and each of the total Human labor (Q1), total automatic working hours per hour / feddan (Q2), the amount of nitrogen fertilizer per unit (Q5), the amount of potassium fertilizer per unit (Q7), as by increasing the previously mentioned independent factors by 1%, it leads to an increase in summer tomato production by about 0.328%, 0.320%, 0.595%, 0.45%, respectively, as the staged logarithmic model shows that Equation No. (2) In Table No. (2) The effect of the aforementioned variables on the yield of the summer tomato crop using solar irrigation during the season 2019, that the model used As a whole meaning at the probability level (0.01), where it was found that there is a statistically positive relationship between the quantity of production (y) per ton, and each of the total automatic working hours hour / feddan (Q2), the amount of municipal fertilizer (Q4), and the amount of potassium fertilizer per unit (Q7) As it is by increasing the factors A. The aforementioned independent one by 1% would lead to an increase in summer tomato production by about 0.746%, 0.119% and 0.879%, respectively.Where it became evident that the farmers who used solar energy irrigation achieved the highest net return of the summer tomato crop, which amounted to about 33.85 thousand pounds, while the irrigation farmers who used solar irrigation achieved the lowest net return of the tomato crop, which amounted to about 11.97 thousand pounds.
