Abstract

Human resources development and technology transfer are two pivotal functions of agricultural development which are attained through appropriate collaboration among researchers, extension workers and farmers. Many experts believe that lack of or weak access to relevant and needed technologies is one of the results of inappropriate or poor relationship among the three mentioned actors of AKIS. Hence, improving the compatibility of technical knowledge and methods to the conditions of beneficiaries in each region is one of the main strategies to increase production and accelerate agricultural development. In order to enhance the relationship among researchers, extension workers and farmers, three projects in the field of research findings transfer, namely RESEARCH-EXTENSION PROJECTS, research- adaptation projects and FIELD DAY projects, were implemented in Iran. This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of the projects as well as factors affecting them. The statistical population of the study consisted of cooperative and non-cooperative farmers with the projects out of which 126 and 135 farmers were selected as sample, respectively. The samples were selected from the six provinces namely, Western Azarbayejan, Kerman, Hamadan, Golestan, Khuzestan and Khorasan using random sampling technique. The reliability of the study's tool was confirmed by Cronbach Alpha, being more than 0.70 for each scale of the questionnaire. The validity was also verified and that was through an expert panel judgment. The findings showed that the farmers prefer to participate in Research-extension, FIELD DAY, and RESEARCH-ADAPTATION PROJECTS, respectively. The farmers revealed that they are inhibited by the following factors to adopt the findings of the triple projects: lack of timely access to inputs, lack of sufficient awareness of methods of applying technical advices, inefficacy of findings and advices, excess expenditures and low compatibility of advices to the farmers' conditions. A comparison between the two groups of farmers indicated that they are significantly different with respect to the number of loans received, number of contacts with extension workers and experts, participation in the extension classes and tours, their performance of irrigated and rainfed wheat, extent of knowledge about the projects and extent of the adoption of advices. The regression analysis also indicated that such variables as farmers' knowledge concerning RESEARCH-EXTENSION PROJECTS, computability extent of the projects to the farmers' conditions and regional technical needs, extent of applying technical advices by farmers, number of extension tours, farmers' extension contact, number of farmers participating in extension meetings, extent of researchers' guidance's and farmers' educational level were effective in an increase in wheat yield.
