المستخلص summary- Agriculture mehanization is considered ’of the most import~t vital programs in the field ot development. despite i ts v~i.talimportance it :faced tremendods problems. The most serious problems are (a) the scaricty of researches and studies that deal with the determination of t:t;’aininnqeeds for both agricultural extensionists and local extension leaders in the fluid of using agricUltural mechanism (b) Absence of the above mentioned’ research and studies for hortitculture husbandry engineers (c) not determining the most important personal and situational independent variables of the agricultural leaderships with effect training needs. This can be done through a way with reflects stages or anqles that depend on this satisfaction. It should also ~uDt l¢now~.dge~related to the idea and how to carry out. ~jeet.i ••• ~or til. at.udy: - Ob1cctive of this study could be summarized as follows : 1- To determine the differences between the needs of hortculture husbandry engineers and agricultural .~en.ioni.ts for the knOWledge, operation practices and maintenance practices of the mechanical plower. 2- To deteraine the differences between the needs of local extension leaders, ownerrlnq and not ownerinq mechanical plower, concerning their Ca) knOWledge related to awaring about it (b) knOWledge related to how to operation (c) knowledge related to how to .a1ntenance Cd) it. operation practipes and ee) it•• aintenance practices. (3) To determine the relationship between the need degrees of harticulture husbandry enginettrs· and aqricultural extensionis~s concerning knOWledge, operation practices and maintenance practices of the mechanical plower and each of the following independent variables age, degree of rurality, degree of agricultural experience, degree of employment experience, degree of education in the field of agricultural mechanization nUmber of holded meetings and panels discussion in the field of using agricultural mechanization, number of resources for obtaining knowledge about agricultural mechanization number of training programs in the field of agricultural mechanization, degree of individual ownership for farm machineary, degree of individual use of farm machineary, degree of attitudes towards form machinary, degree ot attitudes towards agricultural mechanical stations, degree of family .::»: ownership to farm machineary and degree of family use of farm machineary. (4) To determine the relationship b~tween the degrees of need for local extension leaders ownering the mechanical plower concerning their (a) knowledge related to awa~inq about it (b) knOWledge related to how to operation (c) knowledge related to how to maintenance Cd) its operation practices, and ee) its maintenance practices and the fOllowing independent variables : age, nUmber of Children, degree of family members participation in the farm work, degree of education, nUmber of other business that individual is working with in addition to agriculture, size of agricultural ownership, number of locations on which the individual has his agricultural ownership, nUmber ot owned labor farm animals, degree of attitudes towards agricultural machines, degree ot attitUdes towards agricultural mechanical station, degree ot educational and occupational ambitons ot sons, degree of contact with change agents, degree of participation in those extension activities related to agricultural ~echanics, degree of exposure to mass communication means, degree of cosmopoliteness, number of training programs in the field of agricultural mechanics number ot owned farm machaineary and degree of farm machineary use. Researcb metbods I To achieve the objective~ of ~his study the following procedures were carried out To collect neded data for statistical use, three samples were selected randomly; sixty agriculture extensionists, sixty horticulture husbandry engineerinq and 104 local extens’ion leaders, _ Two types of questionnaires were cpntructed to get the responses of agriculture extensionists horticulture husbandry engineers and local leaders. Each questionnaire continued two main parts; the first part consisted of the studied independent variables and the second part contained questions to measure needs for knowledge and practices concer~ing the mechanical plower. Data were collected in winter of 1990 by personal interviews using a pre-tested questionnaire. Data analysis : Mann-Whiteny test, simple correlation coefficient and step-wise mUltiple correlation and regr••sion analysis were the main statistical tools used for data analysis. Research findings : 1- Agriculture extensionists and horticulture husbandry engineers were in agreat need for all knowledge and practices related to mechanical plower. 2- It was found that the need of horticulture extensionists in relation to all knowledge and practices relat related to operation of the mechanical plower. It waS found also that the difference between the need of both categories was very high significant. )_ In relation to mechanical plower maintenance, it was found that the need for both horticulture hasbandry engineer and agriculture extensionists was rel at!’vel y higher. It was also found that hosticulture husbandry engineer need was higher than that of aagricul ture extensionists in some items under study. On the other hand, agriculture extensionist was higher than that of horticulture husbandry need in some other different items. However, in general the difference between each fo their needs was not significant . t;- It was found that all local extension’ leaders with and without ownership were in need for all knowledge and practices under investigation ~ ) 5- It was found that local extension leaders need with and without ownership varied from a practice to another and from a piece type of knowledge to another. 6- It was found that the need of local extension leaders, with and without ownership, for knowledge about the mechanical plower was low. The difference between their needs was not significant. 7- The need of those local extension leaders not ownaring a mechanical plower for knowledge related to operation and maintenance of the plower was higher than that of local extension. leaders who own a mechanical plower. The difference found between their . needs was highly significant. 9- Number of resources for obtaining knowledge about mechanical plower and degrees of attitude towards farm machineary were jointly contributed to 61% of the total variation interpreting for the need degrees of horticulture husbandry engineers concerning knowledge about mechanical plower. 10- Degrees of employment experience, degrees of family ownership of farm machineary number of resources for obtaining knowledge about agriculture mechanization were jointly contributed to 58.8t of the tatal variation interpreting the need degrees of agriculture extensionists for knowledge concerning mechanical plower. 11- Training degrees the field of agricultural mechanization were contributed to 20% of the total variation associated with the need degrees of horticulture ~usbandry engineers for practices engineers for practices concerning operation of the mechanical plower. 12- Degrees of family ownership of farm machinary degrees of eduation in the field of agriculture mechanization were jointly contributed to 26.7t of the total variation interpreting the need degrees of agriculture extensionists for practices concerning operation m~chanical plower. 13- Number of training in the field of agricultural mechanization, degrees of ownership for farm machineary were jointly contributed to 29.3% of the total variation interpreting the need of horticulture husbandry engineer for practices concerning maintenance mechanical plower. 14- Family ownership degree of farm machineary, training degrees in the field of aqricultural mechanization were jointly contributed to 30.6’ of the tatal variation interpreting the need of agriculture exten.ionists for practices concerning maintenance mechanical plower. 15- The degrees exposure to the means of mass communication were contributed to 18t of the ta~al variation associated with knowledge need degrees for those local extension leaders who have mechanical plower ownership in relation to its awarness. 16- Number of owned labor farm animals, degrees of cosmopliteness were jointly cont]~ibuted to 21.9\ of the total variation interpreting the need degrees of those local extension leaders who have mechanical plower in concerning how to operate it. 17- Null\berof training programs in the field of agriculture mechanization were contributed to 11\ of the total variation associated the need deqrees of local extension leaders who have m.echanical plower in concerning how to maintenance it. 18- Null\ber of owned labor fann ardmals, degrees of farm machineary use, were jointly contributed to 9.1t of the total variation interpreting the need degrees of those local extension leaders who have mechanical plower for operation practices. 19- Number training programs in tne field of agriculture mechanization were cotributed tc 15t of total variation associated the need degree. of tho.. loeal extension leaders who have mechanical :j)lower for’ maintenance practices. The previous results ind~cat:e. the importance of considering in the variation in the n ds degr.e of horiculture haspundry. a9ricultural ext.nsioni.~s and local extension leaders when desi9nin9 and carrying out any extension training proqra_s in the field of aqricul tural mechanic. |
