The present investigation aimed to estimate these components in two intra-specific cotton crosses (Giza 92 x Giza 87 and Giza 96 x Giza 87) during early segregating generation. Most of the studied traits showed high broad sense heritability coupled with low or moderate genetic advance as percent of mean in F2 generation. So, these traits controlled by non additive gene action. The analysis of variances for F3 families showed highly significant differences between F3 families and variance within F3 was lower than among families for all the studied traits over the two crosses. All F3 families had low intra-class correlation values over the two crosses, so selection between families is better than within families. The additive genetic variance was larger than dominance variance for all the studied traits except for seed cotton yield / plant and lint %, also, these traits showed partial degree of dominance for cross I. While, cross II has higher values of dominance genetic variance than additive variance for all traits except for boll weight and fiber length, so that showed overdominance. Selection differential and response to selection were found to be positive for all traits during F2 and F3. The probability of new recombinant lines falling outside parental range was higher in cross I than cross II for all traits except for boll weight and fiber length. The study reveals that judicious selection leads to improvement in next generation.}, keywords = {Barbadense cotton,segregating generation,heritability,selection,selection response,and Genetic advance,prediction}, url = {https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_127020.html}, eprint = {https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_127020_8e1e770c55500a0d80bc06d9f506c4bd.pdf} } @article { author = {ali, manal and abdrabo, amira}, title = {Factors affecting the health awareness of rural women in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate}, journal = {Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Sciences}, volume = {47}, number = {1}, pages = {1-13}, year = {2021}, publisher = {The National Information and Documentation Centre (NIDOC), Academy of Scientific Research and Technology(ASRT)}, issn = {2536-9571}, eissn = {2536-958X}, doi = {10.21608/jsas.2020.32443.1227}, abstract = {This research was aimed mainly to determine the factors affecting awareness of health for rural women Kafr El-Sheikh governorateKafr, El Sheikh Governorate was chosen as a region to conduct this research, and a center was randomly chosen from among the ten governorate centers, so the Sidi Salem Center was randomly follow research data were collected by Personal interview questionnaires, through a random sample amounted 227 respondents amounted (143 respondents from Shalma, while 126 respondents from Teda) Collected data were coded and analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviation, simple & multiple correlation coefficients, partial & multiple regression coefficient.

T he main objective of this research is to estimate the economic and knowledge losses in the rice crop in light of the absence of the role of agricultural extension in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. A personal interview questionnaire was used to collect data in 2019, percentages, mean, and repeating tables, as descriptive statistical methods were used to explain and interpret data. The research results were shawed that the total economic value of knowledge loss in the pound in the rice crop in both nurseries and permanent land at the studied case farmers amounted to 159778 pounds. And with regard to estimating the economic feasibility of agricultural extension between cost and return with the rice farmers interviewed in the case study, the results showed that the economic feasibility of agricultural extension between cost and return was 2.6 approximately.The research’ recommendation is to formation of village committees for cooperative agricultural extension to solve the problem of erosion of the forces of transfer of agricultural knowledge to rice crop farmers.}, keywords = {knowledge economic loss,rice yield,village committees,cooperative agricultural extension,Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate}, url = {https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_107823.html}, eprint = {https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_107823_d277e64c4e81d264398a638e64b75395.pdf} } @article { author = {elzohry, elsayed and Eladawy, Roshdy and Khalaf, Amira}, title = {The Effect of Competitive Ability of Green Beans and Dry Onion Crops on Egyptian Agricultural Exports}, journal = {Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Sciences}, volume = {47}, number = {1}, pages = {53-65}, year = {2021}, publisher = {The National Information and Documentation Centre (NIDOC), Academy of Scientific Research and Technology(ASRT)}, issn = {2536-9571}, eissn = {2536-958X}, doi = {10.21608/jsas.2020.33682.1228}, abstract = {The issue of increasing Egyptian exports is an important pivotal issue because one of the main goals of economic reform programs is to adjust the imbalance in the trade balance, which reached a deficit of about $ 40.313 billion in 2017, and the agricultural trade balance deficit contributes to this imbalance by about $ 8.193 billion in 2017.
