Abstract: This research aimed mainly to determining the performance level of agricultural extension workers the extension activities related to preserving of natural sources , and determining some variables explaining the variance of dependent variable , also determining the problem which face the respondents in their performance and their suggestions to overcome them. The study was conducted at El-Hainoul , El-Reyiad , and Kaleen in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. Data was collected by personal interview using questionnaire from random sample amounting to 120 respondents representing about 43 % of the total number of agricultural extension workers in these three chosen districts . Person simple correlation coefficient , and Step-Wise multiple regression , Chi-square Test , Arithmetic Mean , Standard. Deviation , beside tables , frequencies and Percentages , were used to analyses date . The results of this study revealed that :
1 -Performance level of extension workers was moderate of the extension activities related to preserving of natural sources ( soil , water , air).
2-There was significance relationship at 0.01 level between degree of extension workers performance to the extension activities related to preserving of natural sources ( soil , water , air) ,and education qualification , also was significance relationship at 0.05 level between degree of extension workers performance to the extension activities related to preserving of natural sources ( soil , air ) , with origin of respondent .
3-There was positive significance relationship at 0.01 level between degree of extension workers performance to the extension activities concerning preserving soil , and the following independent variables : agricultural extension training , degree of contact with information resources , and degree of job satisfaction . According to Step-Wise , degree of contact with information resources , and degree of job satisfaction contribute interpreting the variance in the degree of extension workers performance to the extension activities concerning soil ( 33.9 % )
