| Abstract |
In the framework of achieving sustainable agricultural development; the agricultural programs included intensifying agricultural products in Qualubiah governorate to raise the production of Maize, Rice from 1992 to 2002. The total increase of these crops reached 83444 tons leading to an increase in their annual remains reaching 389 thousand tons. The raise in crop remains is mostly utilized uneconomically or unfriendly to the environment although in the production cycle this remains are considered secondary products that should be utilized as non-traditional fodder or compost. Due to the scarcity of extension studies that tackles the Diffusion of Recycling Crop Remains Technology (DRCRT); it was necessary to conduct this study to determine the level of diffusion of this technology among farmers, define time lag related to its diffusion, identify information sources to hear about the technology, define the main variables affecting the technology diffusion and their contribution rates, and identify the barriers of technology diffusion among farmers. Hence, this study aims to:
1. Determine the level of DRCRT among farmers in the study villages regarding non-traditional fodders and compost.
2. Define the time lag related to DRCRT among farmers in the study villages regarding non-traditional fodders and compost.
3. Identify information sources to hear about the technology of Recycling Crop Remains among farmers in the study villages regarding non-traditional fodders and compost.
4. Define the relationship between the degree of DRCRT among farmers in the study villages regarding non-traditional fodders and compost and some personal, social, economic and communicational variables.
5 Define the contribution rate of some independent variables significantly related to DRCRT among farmers in the study villages regarding non-traditional fodders and compost in explaining the total variance .
6. Identify the barriers of DRCRT among farmers in the study villages regarding non-traditional fodders and compost .
