Sahl Al-Ghab zone is characterized by the availability of natural and human appropriate conditions for the cultivation of cotton, and it's one of the most desired agricultural crops for export, in addition to the big need for local textile mills with both of its public and private sectors, and it's also one of the strategic and social crops. However, between 2005-2013, cotton cultivation fell back in this region to be replaced mainly by wheat in addition to other crops, and the main reasons for this decline is that there is no proportionality between the price of cotton and production costs, as the price of the kilogram of cotton rose from 31 S.P in 2005 to 100 S.P in 2013, while the price of the liter of diesel – the main factor in the cultivation of cotton – rose from 25 S.P in 2005 to 60 S.P in 2013. Through this research, We knew the reasons for the decrement of cotton cultivation in Sahl Al-Ghab zone and choosing the wheat and nothing else to replace it, especially that wheat cultivation didn't achieve better economic returns of cotton. On the contrary, it had negative results in terms of non-application of the agricultural cycle and the spread of diseases such as wheat rust disease that spreaded in Sahl Al-Ghab zone in the last years and which reflected negatively on production.

In spite of an increase of farming experiance, producers are still facing many obstacles which affect negatively on their final income. It is clear from this study the decrease of productivity per unit area of wheat and cotton crops and high produ ction cost, caused decrease of the final income. Most of the farmers, were not satisfied with cultivation of these crops, due to increase of production cost, unsuitable price, lack of cultivation requirements and the prices rising…..etc. Also, the extension services offered to the farmers are poor and not at the required level. That was the most important reason for the decrease of the productivity. Consequently, it is possible to develop the agricultural activity by improving the extension services and decreasing the prices of production requirement and improving the selling prices. Therefore, it is necessary to decrease the production costs of wheat and cotton crops, increase their productivity, improve and activate the extension units work and spread awareness and knowledge about modern methods of cultivation as well as ways of decreasing the productivity costs, the factors which help to increase the productivity from unit area, and acquainting the farmers to other crops, which could be alternative crops in the future.
This study considers the efficiency of irrigation water usage in the economic and productive aspects of peanuts crop in Syrian lands, in particular: mid, coastal and eastern lands, in terms of arithmetic means during the period of 2010-2012.
The research aims at investigating the reality of investment of the cultivation of citrus in Syria during 2007-2011. The study showed that the citrus market in Syria needs to be organized, and that there is a necessity for having an independent org anization such as (Citrus Growers Union) to be responsible, in cooperation with the relevant authorities, for monitoring the production and marketing of citrus. The study also showed that the specifications of full market competition apply to the citrus market in Syria, and that there is a fluctuation in the value of flexibility of supply and demand which indicates the presence of factors other than the price which affect the supply and demand. The study also showed a marketing gap which was negative, this led to flooding the market with citrus reaching (-247.4 thousand tons) in 2007. The investment in citrus achieved a positive added-value which helped support the gross domestic product (GDP) in Syria, reaching (25 billion Syrian pounds) in 2011.The citrus sector also contributed in creating a balance of payments; outflows of citrus reaching $140 million.
Cotton is considered as one of the most important crops grown in AL-Ghab plain and which distinguish by excessive requirements from mineral elements.The importance of this study comes in trying to increase the economic proceeds of cotton crop by guidance of using of fertilizers and keeping soil fertility
The aim of this study was to evaluate the affecting factors of Buffalo milk production in Al- Ghab Plain. The data were collected according to the farmers during the season of 2009-2010. The effect of parturition season, dry period and calving int erval were studied. The results showed that the mean milk production was 934,96 kg with 8.1% fat and 4.85% protein. The lactation period was 180-240 days, the dry period was 120-180 days and the calving interval mean was 420 days. Our results indicated that the quantity of buffalo milk in Syria was low because of the short lactation period, the long dry period and the long calving interval. But it could be possible to improve the buffalo milk production by the better rasing conditions and genetic improvement.
