The data of the study were collected through interviewing 165 farmers selected randomly from six governorates among those which grow Rice extensionly in Egypt.

The statistical tools which were used include the
percentages, Z test to estimate the significance of the differences between the means and their standard deviation, F test was also usedo The findings indicated the significant difference between the two groups related to four treatment of producing the Rice, but there was no significant difference with relation to five treatments.
The findings also showed that the varite and quantity of the extension methods effect the Rice producers practises.

It showed also that farmers prefered to got the recommendat¬ions through extension fields, while getting those recommendations through the personal contact of the extension agent comes as a second preference and-finally came publications as a desired source of recommendations due to illiteracy.
