Abstract in English

The cherry fruit is classified to be after the apple fruit according to its economic importance and the cherry tree is firstly considered economically important due to its continuous and plentiful bearing if it’s provided with all requirements and techniques for the suitable agriculture and its needs from irritation and fertilizer are medium. The aim of the research was to study the costs of production cherry with a comparison between some economic indicators for each of the cherry rainfed and irrigated cherry. Results showed that the cost of one hectare from irrigated cherry was higher by about 3 times than the cost of one hectare of rainfed due to the raise in the cost of irrigation. The study also showed that the profits of the irrigated profits exceeded that of the rainfed cherry by about 2 times since the productivity of the irrigated hectare is two folds more than the productivity of the rainfed hectare. It was also shown that the effect of variable time on the space was positive, changes in the spaces resulting from the effect of time was 95%, while the effect of time on both the production and the yield was negative. The relationship between time and all of the production and yields was weak (8%).
