There is high percentage of the low and neutral attitude towards export was 74.5%. It was found that only three independent variables contributed significantly to explaining the total variance in the occurrence of the knowledge gap of the respondents. Also, only three independent variables contributed significantly to explaining the total variation in the occurrence of the implementation gap for the respondents. While only two independent variables contributed significantly to explaining the total variation in the attitude towards export. Recommendations: It is necessary to plan and implement extension programs to provide farmers with the necessary experience and sound practices to prevent and control brown rot disease, as it was revealed that a knowledge and implementation gap has emerged in farmers' practices in the field of controlling potato brown rot.
