| Abstract | ||||
| This research aimed mainly to determining total efficiency of performance of the extension field agents of extension activities related to marketing of the onion crop and determining the relationship between some independent variables and degree of total efficiency of performance of those activities. This research was conducted in Gharbia Governorate. The total population of the extension field agents is 288. the sample size represented 41.7 % of the total population of the extension field agents in this Governorate. Percentages. arithmetic means -. standard deviation • Pearson simple correlation coefficient • partial and standard partial regression coefficient of determination were used as tools for statistical analysis. The results of this study revealed that: 1- 52 % of the extension field agents had high qualification • in addition. the finding also showed that about 60.8 % of them had agricultural work experience between ( 14 - 25 ) years, the findings also showed that about 50.8 % of them had agricultural extension work experience between ( 13 - 24 ) years and the findings showed that about 86 % of them had total time of training in the last year was from ( 1 - 25 ) days. 2- Findings revealed that about 45% of the extension field agents had a mean degree in performance of their extension roles in marketing of the onion crop. 3- Also , findings showed that • most independent variables which affected on degree of roles performance of the extension field agents related to marketing of the onion crop. correlation between them was significant on 0.05 level. 4- Also • findings showed that • most significant independent variables which 'affected on performance degree of their roles related to marketing onion crop .the experience in extension work. number of resources of information and total time of training in the last year represented 13.3 % of explaining the variance in performance level of the extension field agents to their roles in marketing of the onion crop. | ||||
