This research was conducted in Sharkia governorate, a random sample of 78 wheat farmers drawn by a systematic random sample procedure from the list of extension fields’ farmers. The two compared groups has been selected as follows: the first group was extension fields neighboring farmers which reached 78 respondents, selected randomly from those farmers their fields located near the extension fields farmers and in the same agricultural area, whereas the second group was the extension fields distant farmers which reached 78 respondents, selected randomly from those their fields faraway from studied extension fields and their fields located in anther agricultural area.
