"Hardware" technology was the dominant type of technology received by extension workers. (2) Farm background, experience, selection of practical research problems, development of adaptive research, and participation in joint meetings and demonstrations with extension were found to be important determinants of researchers' technology transfer activity. (3) Among the extension workers, participation in on-farm demonstrations and visiting research stations were positively related to their technology transfer activity.","Based on the results of the study, the following recommendations were made to improve technology transfer: (1) Technical units in the Extension Service at both national and governorate levels should be established to carry out the responsibility of technology transfer. These technical units should be furnished with qualified extension workers, especially subject matter specialists. (2) Research efforts should be directed to multidisciplinary commodity-oriented research programs to develop and transfer complete packages of genetic, chemical, and mechanical technology as well as farm practices in order to effectively increase the production of major field crops. (3) Joint demonstrations between research and extension, as well as other hands-on types of communication activities, should be intensified. Further, both researchers and extension workers should regard their communication activities as an essential part of their work.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-15T18:51:51Z (GMT).
