Abstract

A documentary dealing with the agricultural production and its successful experiment in Jordan. One of them is the farminf experiment of Mazen Awda who learnt from the world expertise to take full advantage of everything that surrounds the crop, minimize the expenses, get a better crop and preserve the environment. Among the difficulties faced by some products is the white fly that affected tomatoes as well as some insects vectors of viruses. The competent authorities carried out many researches to prevent the spread of viruses and recommended the use of insect resiisting species instead of the use of chemicals. Farmers also took advantage of the German experience in the field of the production of beneficial insects that swallow the harmful ones.
