Abstract
The research aimed to identify the reality of extension services provided to farmers of vegetable crops in the field of agricultural pest control, and to identify the correlation between the dependent factor and the reality of extension services and some of the independent variables for the respondents, in addition to identifying the most important problems facing farmers in the research area in this field. The research targeted the Al-Qosh region of Nineveh Governorate to conduct the research, which included 160 vegetable farmers, and a simple sample of 50% was taken, so the final research sample was 80 farmers. It was completed Data was collected from respondents using a three-part questionnaire, the first part included the social and personal characteristics of the respondents, the second part included a scale to measure the reality of extension services for the respondents, while the third part included the most important problems facing vegetable crop growers in the field of pest control. The results showed that the level of reality of extension services for farmers in the field of agricultural pest control is weak, and that the correlation between the reality of extension services and the variables (age, educational level, sources of information) was significant. While there was no significant relationship with the reality of extension services and (the area of cultivated land, and the desire for renewal).
