Abstract

        The research aimed to study and analyze the productive reality of a sample of 35 grape growers in Balad District- Salah al-Din Governorate for the 2019 agricultural season. For production the study variables included social variables (educational level, experience, age of the farmer) and economic variables (amount of production, cultivated area, chemical and animal sky, control materials and pesticides, number of fruit trees). The results of the analysis showed that most of the economic variables were significant, and the area variable had the greatest impact on production, as the area parameter amounted to 0.380. It was found that about 0.76 of the changes that occur to production are due to economic variables, and the optimum production volume in the farms of the research sample reached (5.01) tons / dunam in When the volume of the most profitable production reached (6.96) tons / dunam, and the results of the analysis showed that the farmers of the research sample are almost close to the stage of economic production, and the study recommended the necessity of using standard and scientific methods and standards when adding production elements and conducting an analysis of the soil to determine its need of nutrients.
