It generated more profitable and high-quality agricultural products, provided new opportunities for problem-solving in the field of agriculture, Numerous geographical factors, both natural and human, affect the agriculture and production of the study area. It influences the crop productivity of the land, which in turn influences the quantity of production required to meet the demand for harvests. The research yielded many results, the most important of which is large areas remain unexploited for agricultural production. Agricultural production suffers from the impact of the desert climate on agricultural productivity. The sylvan aspect may sometimes lead to its destruction or affect output and productivity. This study came to be analyzed. And a survey of the areas cultivated with crops in the desert of Al-Muthanna Governorate. The study began with a theoretical framework.
