This research was conducted in Lattakia province during the year 2012 first, to
identify the current status of the production residues and agro-processing materials in the
province and, second, to introduce modern methods of taking advantage of the
m and
raising their nutritional value.
Results showed that, the most agricultural residues are not optimally used, instead,
they were disposed and accumulated causing substantial losses and environmental
pollution.
Results showed that, the investment average ratio of legume, vegetables, cereals, and
fruit trees were 75%, 65%, 60% and 40% consensually
This research conclusion shows that, the optimal use of barley residue is a source of
cheap protein units that are necessary for animals feeds; where the cost per unit of digested
protein resulting from urea treated hays amounts to 0.5 S.Y.P. This amount represents one
fifth of the cost of protein unit from barley.
Also, the use of wheat straw in the cultivation of oyster mushrooms achieve
significant economic results, the net profit resulting from the cultivation area of 10 m2 of
oyster mushrooms using 30 kg of wheat straw was about 81000 S.P.
In addition to that, the research results show the importance of agricultural waste in
biogas production and the resulting compost, which in turn has achieved excellent results
when fertilizing crops with it. The increase in the yield of maize, wheat, faba bean and
vegetables were 35.7%, 12.5%. 6.6% and 14.1-20.6% consensually.
