Abstract
By studying the productivity and economic indicators and the nutritional balance of the wheat crop, it was found from the study of the general time trend of the area that there is an increase in each of the cultivated area of wheat annually, estimated at about 41.41 thousand feddans, at a rate of about 1.36% of the average cultivated area of wheat in Egypt, which is about 3052 thousand feddans during the study period. And that there is an annual increase in total production estimated at about 894.71 thousand ardibs, equivalent to about 1.76% from the general average to the average total production of about 50,974 thousand ardibs at the level of Egypt during the period under study. And from the study of the economic indicators of the wheat crop in Qena Governorate, it was found that there is a statistically significant annual increase in each of the price of ardab, total per-feddan revenue, total per-feddan costs, and net return estimated at about 31.72, 54.37, 390.25, and 164.68 pounds, respectively, equivalent to about 8.84, 7.56, 9.45, 5.15. %, respectively, of the annual average of these variables during the period under study. And from the study of the food balance of the wheat crop at the national level, it was found that there is an annual increase in each of the consumed quantities of the crop, exports, the amount of wastage and the amount of wheat gap estimated at about 484.92, 29.37, 139.98, 394.59 thousand tons, respectively, equivalent to about 2.02, 16.98, 6.62, 6.68% of the general average amount of losses from the wheat crop, respectively. While it was found that there is an annual decrease in the self-sufficiency rate estimated at about 0.99%, equivalent to about 1.65% of the general average of the average self-sufficiency rate of the wheat crop, which is estimated at about 60.18% during the period under study. Through the results of the comparative analysis of the averages of the cultivated area of the most important wheat varieties in the centers of Qena Governorate, the study showed that the most important variety in terms of the cultivated area is the Giza 168 variety in all centers of the governorate. Through the results of the comparative analysis of the production averages of the most important wheat cultivars in the centers of Qena governorate, the study showed that the most important cultivar in terms of productivity is the cultivar Sixths 12 in the centers of Abocht, Farshout, Dashna, Waqf, Qift, and Naqada. And the cultivar Gemmayzeh 11 in the Nagaa Hammadi center, and the cultivar Giza 168 in the Qena center, and the cultivar Misr 2 in the Qus center.
