1- Identify some personal characteristics of the respondents.
2- Identify the knowledge and executive impacts of extension recommendation of agricultural extension national campaign for improving maize crop.
3- Determine the correlated and determinate factors for the educational impacts of agricultural extension national campaign for improving maize crop.
4- Determine the relative importance of independent variables affected in the educational impacts of agricultural extension national campaign for improving maize crop.
Data were collected by personal interview from 93 respondents as an exper¬imental sample and 92 respondents as a control sample. Data were analyzed by using frequency, percentages, means, standard deviation, T-test, simple and mult¬iple correlation coefficient, partial regression coefficient and step-wise multiple regression.
The main results of the study revealed that:
1) 93.5% of respondents in the experimental sample were medium and high levels of knowledge against 81.5% from the control sample, while 6.5% of respondents in the experimental sample were low level of knowledge against 18.5% in the control sample.
2) 92.5% of respondents were medium and high levels of executive in the experimental sample compared to 56.5% of the control sample. The percentage of respondents in low level of executive were 7.5% in the experimental sample against 43.5% in the control sample.
3)T-test proved that there were significant differences between the experim¬ental sample and the control sample concerning the knowledge and executive impacts.
4) Findings revealed that there was a positive and significant correlation between the knowledge impact as dependent variable and the following independent variables: leadership status, readiness for change, exposure to and utilization of the extension methods, extension communicational, informal social participation, aspiration level, and previous exposure to the extension campaign.
5) All independent variables of this study explained 42.1% of the variance in the knowledge impact. Moreover the leadership status was the more impo¬rtant and effective independent variables because it explained alone 21.1%of the variance in the knowledge impact.
6) Finding indicated that there was a positive and significant correlation between the executive impact as dependent variable and the following inde¬pendent variables: leadership status, readiness for change, previous expo-sure to the extension. campaign, informal social participation and exposure and utilization of the extension methods.
7) All independent variables of this study explained 34.1% of the variance in the executive impact. Moreover the leadership status and previous exposure to the extension campaign were the more important and effective indep¬endent variables because it explained 13.8%, 5.6% respectively of the variance in the executive impact.
