Agriculture plays an essential role in the Egyptian development plans. Cotton is considered to be the most important export and cash crop. Concern has lately increased by agricultural extension organization and researchers in implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control the pest that might affect cotton crop. This method increases the quality of cotton and protect the environment from pollution through the reduction of chemical use. However, new farm practices and technology are not adopted in the same time by all farmers. It was observed that, there is a considerable time lag between introducing anew technology and adopting it. IPM consists of 5 methods. They are agricultural practices, mechanical, legislative, biological, and chemical control. The main objectives of the present study were to identify levels of adoption of each (IPM) method among cotton growers, to study the correlates and deterninants of IPM levels, and identifying obstacles that face cotton growers. Twenty four independent variables were theoretically hypothesized to be the main determinants of IPM adoption level. Four villages at Kafr El-Sheikh distirict were chosen deliberately as a site for the study because they were exposed to integrated pest managenient activities for cotton crop, Kafr El-Taifa, El-Taifa, kafr Matboul and Matboul at Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate.
