Summary

The industrial crops with contribution to national income and industrial sector in terms of providing raw materials have a significant place in our crop production. Agricultural industry in our country has a large capacity, but due to lack of raw materials and financing a significant portion of the installed capacity can not be benefited. Especially in recent years, increasing of population and production decrease in some industrial plants due to the resulting vegetable oil deficit. Our country pays the highest foreign currency to imports of the oil and oil seed crops for closure of this gap after the oil imports. Therefore, the priority should be given to the oil plants within the groups of industrial plants. Igdr has its own microclimate characteristics. The diversity of product design is greater due to the climate and irrigation conditions in the plain. Grains constitute the main products of the region. All kinds of vegetables, olives and citrus fruit except that all the fruits can be grown. Sugar beet and cotton plants of industrial crop and the alfalfa plants of the forage crops have great importance in the development of animal husbandry. However, in recent years, changes in the climate regime, increases in the cultivation of sugar beet, sunflower and rapeseed gave rise to a decrease in the number of the small farmers who planted cotton. Igdr has high agricultural potential, so the alternative species of industrial crops and their varieties will be integrated to the present cultivation of plain by the scientific studies which will be held on industrial crops in the province.
