Abstract :
The research aimed to construct scale for measuring communication skills in the Egyptian Agricultural Extension Organization and test its validity and reliability of agricultural extension work officials. The scale included four main components: the skill of listening, the skill of speaking, the ability to understand others, and the skill of managing emotions.
The research was conducted in five governorates, namely, Dakahlia, Ismailia, Beheira, Fayoum, and Assiut, representing the regions of “Middle Delta, East Delta, West Delta, Middle Egypt and Upper Egypt” in order, as it included the respondents from officials of agricultural extension work at the level of centers Governorate 508 officials for extension work, and the sample size reached 224 respondents at the level of the five studied governorates. Data were collected through a personal interview using a questionnaire form, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to calculate the reliability of the scale. Self-validity, statistical validity, formative validity or internal consistency were also tested.
The results are high reliability and validity of the scale, as the reliability coefficient extracted with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.87 and the validity coefficient of 0.93 and thus the scale is valid for measuring communication skills fore agricultural extension officials in the Egyptian Agricultural Extension Organization.

This research aimed to identify the cognitive needs and the mental skills of the respondents with regard to the drip irrigation system operation and maintenance, as well as the level of their application of some technical recommendations related to raising the efficiency of the irrigation system, as two dependent variables, and study the correlation and regression between them with some social, economic, communication and psychological characteristics of the respondents. Lastly to identify the most important problems that are facing the respondents during the operation and maintenance of the drip irrigation system, and how to face them from their perspective. The research was conducted in Tiba region of the new reclaimed lands in western Nubaria into three villages are: Suleiman, Adam and Elisha, and the population of the study was represented into 852 respondents from citrus farmers. A simple random sample was taken by the method of sequential analysis, the size of 103 respondents, representing 12% of the population. The data were quantitatively processed and used to
describe it by the percentages, mean, standard deviation, frequencies, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient and multiple regression. The results revealed that the majority of the respondents 91.3% have a high and medium of cognitive and mental skills level and also the majority of the respondents 90.3% have a high and medium of the technical application level. Regarding The most important reference sources for the respondents for their irrigation casual work were the traders of irrigation system supplies, then the experienced neighbors, then irrigation engineer in the region mentioned by 93.2%, 84.4% and 40.8% of the respondents respectively. The results of examining the Correlation also showed an inverse correlation at the probability level (0.05) between the cognitive needs level and mental skills as the first dependent variable and the following independent variables: total area, citrus productivity per acre, the attitude towards drip irrigation, and the general irrigation awareness. However the results revealed that there is no significant correlation at neither probability level (0,01) nor (0.05) between the first dependent variable and age, family size, children education level, respondent education, agricultural respondents experience, citrus area, number of the trees per acre, total production, Training in the field of drip irrigation, the village residence, irrigation modernization, extension role in the village. Together these independent variables interpreted by 28 % of the first dependent variable variance. On the other hand the correlation between the technical application level as the second dependent variable of the respondents related to increase the efficiency of the irrigation system, the results showed that there was a positive correlation at the probability level (0.01) with the children education level, the respondents education, and a positive correlation at the probability level (0.05) with total area, and inverse correlation at the same probability level with the extension role. However,
there was no a significant correlation at neither probability level (0.01) nor (0.05) with the remaining investigated independent variables, additionally, the independent variables all together interpreted the second dependent variable variance by 41 %
The most important problems were mentioned by the respondents respectively: high costs of the maintenance, lack of the irrigation spare parts availability, poor quality of irrigation hoses, few irrigation engineers available in the region to help, high costs of establishing a drip irrigation system, and The eighteenth problem is spreading out the weeds around the draw tube in the water well.
in the same context, the most important suggestions were mentioned by the respondents respectively: promote the farmers training on establishing, operating and maintaining the drip irrigation system, improving the quality of the drip irrigation hoses and providing them at affordable prices, governmental support to manufacture the drip irrigation systems components, and finally using the under soil plows to improve the drip irrigation.

The study aimed to recognize some characteristics in the area of the
study, to identify the respondent information sources of modern irrigation
technology, and their level of implementation of modern irrigation technology
in the area of the study and the problems which face them during
implementation of modern irrigation technology.
The study was conducted in Minya and Assuit governorates in some
villages were chosen randomly among the Desert back villages in the two
governorates, villages 3, 5 and 8 in Minya and Dashlout, Bawit and Deer
alganadila in Assuit governorate.
The data was collected in June and July 2019 from the sample
through focus group discussion, the total number of the respondents was
129, the descriptive system was used in analyzing data.
The main results were as follows:
First: some agricultural characteristics in the area of the study ;
About a third of the respondents in Minya grow vegetables, half of them
grow traditional crops and few grow medical and garden crops .
In Assuit about half of the respondents grow vegetables, about a
third of them grow traditional crops and the few that remain grow garden
and medical crops.
The results show that the water used in irrigation is from wells by
two thirds and the number of days for irrigation shift in the main canal does

311
not exceed 3 days, the level of water in the main canal is mostly weak,
about one third of the growers use electric energy in operating irrigation
machine, two thirds of them use diesel machines, the discussions results
showed that one fifth of the growers irrigate by Immersion style while Fourfifths of theme use dripping or spraying style.
Second: The results of the discussion showed that the high majority of
growers resort to relatives and neighbors as the most important source
of information about modern irrigation technology in the study area, the
second source of information was Senior farmers in the village and this
was reported by half of the respondents, then agriculture programs TV
by third of the respondents while the rest of the sources were of a very
low level.
Third: level of implementation of modern irrigation technology in the area of
the study: the level of applying improving soil technologies, growing
system, technologies of surface irrigation and systems of rational
irrigation were low, while it was average concerning the technology of
irrigation systems and it was high level in the technology of irrigation
Scheduling.
Fourth: The problems which face the growers in applying irrigation
technology: The absence of agriculture extension and water guidance
in the area, the growers' little financial ability, the high cost of building
modern irrigation nets, the unavailability of water in the main canal,
growing land as a usufruct only and the difficulty in rationing the
possession case, the growers little awareness concerning the rational
use of irrigation water, not having finance to Facilitate using modern
irrigation system, traditions in the over use of water , not having
specialized persons in maintaining the modern irrigation nets in the
area, the unavailability of needed quantities of agriculture gypsum,
