| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT : The agricultural sector faces serious challenges in Iraq. The scarcity of water comes in the forefront which affects agricultural production in quantity and quality. The Ministry of Agriculture considers this challenging one its goals since ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ the last decade. This is to be done by spreading modern technologies. In spite of this, Mahaweel sub-district (500) thousands has no more than (90) technologies covering about (1000) acres forming (0.02 %) of the total area. This is a serious problem in Mahaweel and in spreading these technologies. Therefore the research aims at (1) identifying the spread plan, (2) the extension and processing, and identifying whether all these factors are considered reasons in weakening of spreading technologies. the data have been collected from two sources (1) the agricultural institutions in Mahaweel and Babylon in the light of the reports and the meeting with the people in charge, (2) a sample of 78 farmers randomly selected from the area. The data have been collected from the farmers by questionnaires. The research concluded that there is no active spreading plan for modern agricultural technologies. The extension activity for (2010-2012) in spreading modern technologies was very few, which occurred under the absence of extension plan and the absence of extension program. The providing of farmers is very small and does not accord with the problem as well as a complex mechanism. These are reasons in relation with weakening spreading mechanism. The researcher recommended that there must be active spreading plan and encouraging on speeding spread in each area including Mahaweel. The extension and providing institution must uplift their performance in spreading this technology and giving them to the farmers in an easy way. | ||
