LEVEL OF SPREAD OF PALM TRUNK INJECTION TECHNOLOGY FOR FERTILIZATION AND CONTROL PURPOSES IN ALTARMIYA DISTRICT

The research aimed to identify some of the personal characteristics of the respondents and their agricultural systems (educational level, age, experience in palm cultivation, tenure, the importance of palm in income) and determine the level of spread of palm trunk injection technology for fertilization and control in the Tarmiya district, the research community included palm farmers, who numbered 1708 and distributed as follows (1000 Tarmiya, 495 viewing, 213 Al-Abaiji) A proportional random sample was taken by 7% and by 120 respondents and distributors on ( 15,35,70) researcher, and to achieve the objectives of the research prepared a questionnaire consisting of two parts, the first part included some of the personal characteristics of the respondents, the second part included (11) paragraph and distributed on 4 areas and 8 axes, was measured according to a bilateral scale (yes, no), was given the following weights (0.1) respectively, used many statistical means of frequencies and arithmetic mean, percentages, and the equation of alpha Cronbach, weighted mean, percentage weight, The results of the research showed that most of the respondents are from the age group of 46-58 years and holders of an intermediate certificate, and have experience of 22-38 years, and own small areas distributed between (3-35) dunums, plant palm trees with small areas distributed between (3-35) acres, and the number of palms is estimated between 20-280 palm trees, and the respondents rely on palm cultivation as the main source of their income, which is 72.5%, and the results also showed that farmers apply technology to all the area of the orchard, which is 95.8%, and that The number of years of application ranges between 4-6 years and by 47.5%, and that the respondents continue to apply the technology by 95.8%, and the results showed that the respondents want to continue to apply the technology by 95.8%, and that the technology of injection of the palm trunk is compatible with the experiences of palm growers and appropriate with their farm systems and by 96.6%, and compatible with the values and customs prevailing in the region by 92.5%, as well as that the respondents have sufficient experience and skills to apply the technology and by 95.8%, and the researcher recommended to Continuing to spread this injection technology because of its role in preserving humans, animals, the environment and beneficial insects such as bees in all governorates of the country, and Increasing interest in technology and increasing government support for farmers by providing this technology and training farmers on how to use it.
