Abstract

 This research wants to examine some factors which are affecting the ADOPTION of INNOVATIONs related to ADVANCED IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. This research was an applied type research and descriptive (non-experimental) / correlative method was used. The total population includes farmers of Karaj Township who participated in extension-education classes related to advanced irrigation and irrigation systems. The total number was 1264 participants and based on Cochran formula, the sample size was determined to be 180 respondents which were selected by using simple random sampling method. The main tool of this research was questionnaire and its reliability was determined by using Cronbach Alpha coefficient (81%). By using SPSS software data analysis was done in two parts: descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The results show factors such as educational level, farmers information levels, membership in rural organizations, amount of farming lands, the impact of insurance on systems application and taking information from extension centers had correlation with dependent variable at 99 percent level, while getting information from extension agents, improving crop yield and solving water shortage problems had correlation with dependent variable at 95 percent level. Results of stepwise multiple regressions showed that amount of farming land, improving product yield, affordability of sprinkler irrigation, the impact of insurance and getting information from extension centers had explained about 77 percent of changes in variance of dependent variable.
