Abstract

Research targeted to identify attitude degree of Citrus leaf miner
biological control and determine the relationship between the independent
variables studied and degree Attitude of Citrus leaf miner biological control,
And determining the contribution of each of the independent variables related
to the connectivity in the moral interpretation of kidney contrast to the attitude
of citrus growers toward Citrus leaf miner biological control.
The research was conducted in Nubareya, was a systematic random
samplewas chosen totaled 240 farmers using equation (Krejcie & Morgan)
37.5% of the overall total , Data was collected by a questionnaire by personal.
interview, And Percentages, arithmetic mean , standard deviation and
coefficient of the simple Pearson correlation , model Correlative analysis and
multiple regression and gradual uptrend ,were used to analyses Data.
The most important research results are as follows:
- 21.7 % of the respondents had negative attitudes , and 41.6 % had neutral
and 36.7% of them had positive attitude towards the biological control of
insect tunnels maker Citrus leaf.
- Attitud degree of citrus growers towards the biological control of insect
tunnels maker citrus leaf were significant at the 0.01 level for citrus cultivated
area , and number of experience years in the cultivation of Citrus fruits ,
Attitude toward Agrieytemsion and degree of opinion leadership.
As the value of simple correlation coefficient of Pearson 0.408 , and
0.345 , and 0.329 , and 0.233 , respectively, while the relationship was
significant at the 0.05 level with both education degree of size of land holdings
, the number of experience years in agricultural work , and the degree of the
attitude toward agricultural extension, It ran 0.149 Pearson simple correlation
coefficient values , and 0.142 , and 0.139 , 0.151 , respectively , while the
relationship were not significant with age.
- Percentage contribution of these variables in explaining the variance attitudes
towards the biological control of insect maker tunnels Citrus leaf were
significant at a level of 0.01 and that the contribution ratio gathered together in
explane 56.7% variance of which 31.2% is attributable to the cultvated of
Citrus, 14.4% to experience years in the cultivation of Citrus fruits, and 6.8%
to attituded toward agricultural innovations, 4.3% to the degree of the
respondent's education.
