Data collection was done using a researcher made questionnaire composed of two parts of extension (Gardener's attitudes towards extension training activities, the status of providing education, the amount of innovations and technologies, the amount of communication channels used) and the rate of Adoption of Drip Irrigation. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by expert opinions. Also, the questionnaire had convergent validity and appropriate reliability based on the average variance extracted (0. 515 >AVE< 0. 718) and composite reliability (0. 913 >CR < 0. 985). SPSS16 and Smart PLS2 software were used to analyze the data. The results obtained from this research study showed that extension education has a significant impact on the rate of Adoption of Drip Irrigation by gardeners (with path coefficient= 0. 616). According to the results obtained from this research study, it is recommended that the potential of Agricultural Extension for adopting Drip Irrigation and the effective use of agricultural water be used by carefully planning.
