straw is still one qf the main problems facing Egyptian farmers. The
definition of the amount of these residuals is not clear. Each of the
Ministty of Agriculture and the Ministty of Environment estimated it
from its point ofview. Anyhow, the amount ofthese residualis at least 35
Mio/ton per year. It represents a big problem for the farmers and
negatively affect the surrounding environment where they are disposed of

other hand, it is a good habitat for plant pathogens and vectors. The
good thinking is to improve the economic situation of these residuals.
