Extension Agencies

Information dissemination through agricultural extension workers can increase knowledge, can change behavior, and attitudes of farmers, especially regarding the use of organic fertilizers. Changes in behavior and attitudes can be seen from the participation of farmers in using organic fertilizers. Participation through the participation of farmers can be a more efficient way to achieve the stated goals. The aim of this study was to examine the role of agricultural extension agents in the use of organic fertilizers in the Province of South Kalimantan. Measurement of the role of agricultural extension agents in the use of organic fertilizer using the median score. The role of agricultural extension agents in the use of organic fertilizers includes: the role of agricultural extension agents as motivators, mediators and supervisors. The role of agricultural extension agents as motivators in the use of organic fertilizers gets a median score of 4, which means that agricultural instructors are eager to encourage farmers to use organic fertilizers due to a fairly good farmer response so that extension workers can motivate farmers to use organic fertilizer. The role of agricultural extension agents as mediators in the use of organic fertilizers gets a median score of 4, meaning that the tasks of agricultural extension agents as mediators have been carried out well. Information or policies from related government or extension agencies are delivered by extension agents to farmers, both through regular meetings and incidental meetings. While the role of agricultural extension agents as supervisors in the use of organic fertilizers has a median score of 5 which means that the role of agricultural extension agents has been carried out to the maximum seen from the frequency of implementation of guidance by extension agents.

This research was carried out in Kumpai Batu Atas Village, South Arut District, Kotawaringin Barat Regency. This study aims to determine the influence of the role of agricultural extension agents on the socio-economic conditions of farmers. Data analysis method uses Likert scale, descriptive analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, f-test and determination coefficient. The data collected in this study are primary data and secondary data.The socio-economic conditions of farmers in "ngawi" farmer groups consist of the age of farmers 30-40 years (12%), 41-50 years (24%), 51-60 years (48%); education consists of elementary school (64%), junior high school (32%), S1 (4%); income level range <Rp. 1,500,000 (34%), Rp. 1,500,000 - Rp. 2,500,000 (64%),> Rp. 2,500,000 - Rp. 3,000,000 (12%) and the work of the farmer respondent all (100%) earns a living as farmer.                 The results showed the hypothesis testing together had a fcount of 0.087 smaller than the value of ftabel of 3.44 which means that Ha was rejected and H0 was accepted, this indicates that the independent variable includes the factors of instructor as educator, facilitator and supervisor together- the same does not affect the dependent variable, namely the socio-economic conditions of the farmers. Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis obtained equation Y = 1.64 + 0.35 X1 + 0.13 X2 + 0.05 X3 + e which indicates a positive influence between the instructor factors as educators, facilitators and supervisors on the social economic conditions of farmers. The coefficient of determination (R2) obtained shows that 11.1% of socioeconomic conditions can be influenced by the extension factor as an educator, facilitator and supervisor.

Purpose Constraints associated with public agricultural extension services imply that farmers increasingly rely on input providers for agricultural innovations and knowledge. Yet such providers are typically commercial profit-making agents and may have an incentive to suggest relatively costly inputs and/or high rates. The purpose of this paper is to look into the case of Bangladesh and the role of fertilizer traders in terms of farmers’ decisions on which fertilizer to apply and at what rate. Using primary data, the authors examine farmers’ chemical fertilizer use and the associated rice production efficiency, based on different information sources (fertilizer traders, government extension agents or own/peer experience). Design/methodology/approach Using primary data, the present study estimates an ordered probit model and production functions separately based on whether or not a farmer relied on information from fertilizer traders or own experience and government extension agents, and examines the efficiency score of each type of farmer. Findings The findings demonstrate that the resource-poor farmers rely more on traders’ suggestions for fertilizer application than public extension – but the actual fertilizer information source has no significant effect on the production efficiency of the rice farmers. This study, therefore, does not find exploitative behavior of fertilizer traders. Thus, this study concludes that small rural traders in Bangladesh are working as agricultural extension agents and provide necessary fertilizer application information to resource-poor farmers. Research limitations/implications This is a case study based on Bangladesh – an emerging economy in South Asia. The findings of the study may not be generalized for other countries. Originality/value To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that confirms the role of agricultural input sellers as the extension agent in developing countries.

This paper is the first of a series of works devoted to the general issues of organic fertilizer spreading machines. Although the working process of solid organic fertilizer machines does not contain a large number of random constituents, however, the basic component, the material administered, gives the random characteristic of the process. In addition, another random component that influences the working process of the machine is the interaction of the work organ that performs the tearing and distribution of the scattered material with this material, as well as the movement of the fragments of material onto the surface of the device. A third random component is the movement of the material scattered into the atmosphere. The fragments of scattered material exhibit shape irregularities due to fragments during dislocation from the mass of feed material and due to particle collisions while moving into air until the contact with the soil. Therefore, the phenomenon of spraying the organic fertilizer on the layer from the soil surface is, as a whole, a random process. Consequently, it is logical to have experimental research prioritized in the study of the work on the distribution of solid organic fertilizers. The role of this article is to present the experimental results, some conclusions and to prefigure several theoretical or theoretical-empirical research directions. The results contained in this article are basics in all the other essays related to the topic machine.

This research identifies critical determinants for interactions between farmers and extension agencies. Cross-sectional farm household-level data from three hundred household heads were collected between September 2019 and March 2020 and triangulated with data from workshops with farmers and extension agents. The data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient, Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance and the ordered probit model. Farmers’ socio-economic characteristics significantly affect their degree of interaction with extension agencies. Recognition of the determinants of the level of farmers’ interactions can inform policymakers about how to formulate and improve the effectiveness of extension programs, enhance information and knowledge dissemination and facilitate development in collaboration with local communities by focusing on a better interaction between farmers and extension agencies. The level of a farmer’s interactions is based on a systematic decision-making process. Although personal and demographic characteristics are important, farmers’ interaction levels require conducive institutional and household assets, groups/social capital and access to extension agents’ contexts. These contexts will differ by household, country and region. Therefore, extension agencies should create and design contextually appropriate strategies for substantial interactions with farmers for the dissemination of farm information. This research is original and valuable in identifying the factors associated with the level of farmers’ interactions with extension agencies in the Amhara region, Ethiopia. It also provides a new pathway for operationalizing farmer-oriented agricultural extension policies and strategies and to help agricultural policymakers formulate extension service programs.
