| Abstract |
The main objective of this research were to study the farmers adoption level of modernized agricultural irrigational technologies and to study some factors associated and determined their adoption levels. Specific objectives included: (I) To determine time period of the farmers adoption to each at technologies related to: Soil improvement, plantation methods, irrigational performance, irrigational tabulization and the improved surface irrigation, (2).` To determine farmers adoption rate to each practices m the studied irrigation technologies, (3) To determine farmers adoption level to each of the practices from the studies irrigational technologies, (4) To determine deference between average of degrees of farmers adoptions of each of e studied irrigational technologies, (5) To determine relationship between total degrees of the farmers adoption the studied irrigational technologies and some independent variables, (6) To determine the independent ambles that affect total degrees of farmer's adoption for studied irrigation technologies, (7) To determine the constraints facing respondent fanners from their point of view towards the adoption of the studied irrigation technologies. The necessary date were obtained by an elaborate pretested questionnaire through interviewing (340) from operator in five village communities representing signed an five distracts i, e kafr El- Sheikh, Desouk, Sedy – Slem, Kellen and El – Hamoul distrets in Kafr El -- Sheikh Governorate important statistical methods used for research data analysis included: Percentages, Simple correlation Coefficient, multiple regression and variance analysis. Summary of important research findings; First: Time period of farmers adoption for irrigational technologies: 1- Soil improving technologies; The average of time period between hearing and adoption was 3 years from 1986 to 1996, while this average was 5 years from 1996 to 2004. 2- Agricultural practices technologies: The average of time period between hearing and adoption was still constant at 3 years until 1998, it was reached about 6 years during the period from 1988 until 2004. 3- Irrigational performance technologies: The average of time period which spent between hearing and adoption until 1998 amounted to 3 years, while this average was 3 years from 1998 to 2004. 4- Irrigational tabulization technologies: The average of time period spent between hearing and adoption was 4 years from 1990 to 2004. 5 - Improved surface irrigation technologies: The average of time period spent between hearing and adoption Was about 3 years since its deffused from 1996 to 2004. Second: farmers adoption rate of the practices irrigational technologies: The studies rates of farmers adoption of practices irrigational technologies can be ranked as will as its adoption rate as follows: a- Planting early maturing varaits and high production with adoption rate amounted to 72.9%. b- Planting on long lines and terraces, the adoption average as 60%. c- Using slides when doing irrigation, adoption average was 55.9%. d- Obligation with crops rotation, adoption average was .50.9%.
e- Land settelment by L. A. S. E. R., adoption average was 47.9%. f- Sub soil blowing with adoption average was 42.6%. g- Developed irrigation with adoption average was 42.6%. h- Determining irrigation time period with adoption average was 38.8%. i- Adding agricultural gypsum with adoption average was 37.7%. j- Nightly irrigation with adoption average was 33.8%. k- Intercropping with adoption average was 32.7%. L- Exchanging irrigation with adoption average was 30.3%. m- Determining stop time irrigation processes and maturing time of crops with adoption average was 29.4%. n- Determining time of irrigation processes, with adoption average was 28.2%. o- Let out space without water irrigation at the of the field to suck or to absorb increasing water irrigation with adoption average was 27.4%. p- Pulsational irrigation with an average of adoption was 25.3%. q- plantation dry clover with adoption average was 21.2%. r- Irrigation shiphon floom with adoption average was 19.4%. s- Determining amount of water irrigation needed, the adoption average was 19.1%. Third Farmers adoption level for irrigational Technologies: a- Adoption's level of soil improving technologies: research results showed that 37.6% of the interviewees haven't adopted soil technologies 562% of the interviewees have low / medium level of adoption, and 6.2% only high adoption level. b- Adoption's level of agricultural practices technologies results, cleared that 25.3% of the interviewees haven't adoption agricultural practices technologies; 52.1% of the interviewees have low / medium level of adoption, and 22.6% only high adoption level. C- Adoption's level irrigation performance technologies: research findings revealed that 31.5% of the interviewees haven't adopted irrigational performance technologies; 50% of the interviewees have low / medium adoption levels; and 18.5% only of the interviewees considered high adoption level. D- Adoption's level of irrigational tabulization technologies: research results showed that 41.8% of the interviewees haven't adopted irrigational tabulization technologies; 40% have low / medium adoption level; and 17.6% only high adoption level. e- Adoption's level of improved surface irrigation technologies: research results pointed to 46.5% of the interviewees haven't adopted improved surface irrigation technologies; 35.9% only of the interviewees have low / medium adoption level, and 17.6% only have high option level of improved surface irrigation. f- Total adoption level for all irrigational technologies: research results cleared that 54.9% of all interviewees were low adoption level; 27.1% were medium, and 8% only of the interviewees were high adoption level. It mean that majority of he interviewees (92%) were low / medium adoption level.
