Abstract

The study aimed to measure the exposure degree of respondent maize farmers to some extension methods and determine some variables affecting this exposure degree. Data were collected from a random sample amounted to 210 re-spondents in 4 villages from two districts in Kafr EI-Sheikh governorate. Percentages, means, correlation, regression and step-wise multiple re‌gression were used to analyse data statistically. Results showed that: 1. The exposure of about 57% of respondents to the nine measured ex-tension methods was relatively low. 2. The extension teaching methods could be arranged according to their relative importance as follows: Rural T.V. programs, rural radio pro‌grams, farm visits, extension posters, extension meetings, extension fields, office visits, extension bulletins and newspapers. 3. All independent variables were correlated with dependent variable ex‌cept size of family and age of respondent were not significant. Seven independent variables explained about 80% of variance in the depen‌dent variable. These variables were: cosmopolitness degree, degree of social participation, utilization degree of exposure to extension meth‌ods, knowledge degree of maize recommendations, farm size, degree of communication with agricultural extension and implementation de‌gree of maize recommendations.
