Abstract EN

The research was conducted in Al- Hassaka province during the season 2010 / 2011.

The research aimed to study the indicators of adoption and factors effecting adoption level of chemical fertilizer technique by farmers.

The results of the research showed that farmers adoption rate of soil analysis reached 7.80% out of 282 farmers, while, 13.12% of the farmers applied the recommended quantities of nitrogene fertilizer.

Large percentage of the farmers in Al-Hassaka province 83.3% added less than the recommended quantities of nitrogene fertilizer.

The study has also shown that the adoption rate of phosphate fertilizer was 18.09%.

the majority of the farmers 76.60% added less than the recommended quantities of phosphate fertilizer.

In addition, a significant negative relationship was shown between the dependant variable: farmer’s adoption of nitrogenous fertilizer technique and both independent variables: farmer’s age and years of experience.

There was also a positive significant relationship between the same previous dependent variable and all independent variables (farmers education, number of family members, the agricultural extension visit to the farmer, wheat economic generated returns, wheat yield and cultivated area of wheat).

At the same time, results have shown that significant negative relationships between the dependant variable: farmer’s adoption of phosphate fertilizer technique and both independent variables: years of experience and costs of machinery.

Furthermore, there was a positive significant relationship between the same dependent variable and all independent variables (farmers education, number of family members, the agricultural extension visit to the farmer, wheat economic generated returns, access to loan, availability of machinery, characters of soil and holding ownership).
