The study aimed mainly at determining The requirements of the Extension Work in the use of Nano Technology to improve the efficiency and Productivity of Agricultural Reclaimed and clay soil from the point of view of the research staff at the Institute of the Agricultural Extension Research and soil and water Research. The specific objectives were:
1-Identifying some characteristics of respondents, 2-Identifying the knowledge of respondents related to the benefits of Nano Technology in the field of agricultural productivity,3-Identify to what extent the respondents know the requirements of the extension role in using Nano technology to improve the efficiency and productivity of agricultural reclaimed and clay soil from the point of view of the research staff at the institute of agricultural extension research and soil and water research, and 4-Identify the suggestions of respondents to achieve the extension role successfully in the use of Nano technology to improve the efficiency and productivity of agricultural reclaimed and clay soil
The research data was collected by using questionnaire through interviewing 42 respondents. The statistical analysis methods used included: percentages range, frequency tables and arithmetic mean.
The main findings of this study were: (1)-level of knowledge of the respondents related to the benefits of Nano technology in the field of agricultural production
High level 42.85 % , Moderate level 26.19 , Low level 30.95, (2)- To what extent the respondents know the requirements of the extension role in the use of Nano technology to improve the efficiency and productivity of reclaimed and clay soil:
(a) As for the performance capacity that should be in the extension agents or specialist: High level 45.24 %, Moderate level 50 % , Low level 4.76 . (b)As for the methods to achieve this extension role, the study showed that the cooperation and coordination between the institute of Agricultural Extension Research and water and land research occupied the first position ( 83.33 % )
