Arithmatic mean, simple correlation coefficient, multiple correlation and regression analysis (step-wise) were used to analyze data statistically, in addition to frequencies and percentages.
The most important findings of this study could be summarized as follows:
I- It was found that 92.5%, 95.9%, 87.7%, 96.6% and 91.8% of the respondent farmers had either low or moderate adoption level concerning use both of compost, biofertilizers, Bio-control by using phytosanitation and insect tops, Bio-Control by using parsites and four studied organic techniques combined respectively.
2- There were four independent variables significantly affected the respondent fanners adoption degrees of four studied organic techniques combined by (27%). They were: awareness degree of agricultural innovations (17%), size of animal holding; (3.9%), Perception degree of some attributes of the studied technique (3.1%), and degree of respondent education (3%)_
3- Agricultural extension agent was the first source of information regarding four studied techniques.
4- It was found that the most important constraints facing respondent fanciers regarding adoption of organic agriculture technique were: lack of extension information and applied demonstrations about preparing and using these techniques (42,18%), high prices of organic agriculture inputs from biofertilizers and bio-pesticides (35.37%), get rich of plant agricultural waste particularly rice straw by set on the fire to make land emptiness quickly (23.81%), absence of most organic agriculture inputs (fertilizers and pesticides) from agricultural societies (20.41%), grounded believe about advantage of using traditional agricultural practices from chemical fertilizers and pesticies (19.05%), and lack of organic agriculture inputs in local markets(19.05%).
