N2  - The aim of this research work is to study the environmental  impacts of sand storms particularly on farms in the desert areas or  those adjacent to them and trying to protect the growing plants in  such farms against the harmful effects of these storms and to  minimize soil productivity losses either quantitatively or  qualitatively. Hence, increasing the economical return for the  farmers in such areas in both Egypt and Libya.  Study area was chosen to assemble some farms at Al  Adliya Agricultural Association on Cairo {u2013} Belbes Desert Road,  Sharkiya Governorate, Egypt (lat: 30{u00B0} 24{u2032} N, lon: 31{u00B0} 33{u2032} E). This  area is exposed to many sand storms (over 20 times annually)  from Khanka dunes.   The environmental impacts of sand storms on some growth  parameters and the productivity of some economical crops in the  study area were evaluated. The effect of crops protection from  such adverse effects using windbreaks or shelterbelts were  studied. Chosen crops were 2 years old mango trees and both  tomato and eggplant plants
