There was a positive correlation between the following social-economic independent variables: current age, year’s number of experience in agriculture, agricultural holding, number of agricultural operations involved and the total degree of environmental awareness maintenance of agricultural land ,while there were negative correlation between agricultural holding, number of agricultural operations involved, and the total degree of environmental awareness maintenance of water irrigation, while it appositive between age, average education of family members and the total degree of environmental awareness maintenance air. 3. The results showed that (61%) of respondents were found in the middle Level category of the knowledge about plant genetic resources. 4. The most important social and economic problems caused by depletion of agricultural natural resources low of productivity by (97%), suffering from poverty by (94%),and migration of young people by( 80%).
