Agricultural Extension Education Method for Water Use Optimization

ABSTRACT- Agricultural extension agents should provide dry land producers with appropriate education to make them more interested in learning about water use optimization. Therefore, it is recommended to accompany education with art. In this regard, a study, using the randomized experimental research design, was carried out among dry land grape producers in Herayjan village, Southwest Iran, using the Morgan table for ۷۰ producers. They were randomly divided into ۲ experimental and control groups. The post-test only one control group design was applied through exposing the experimental group to educational treatment accompanied by poetry and the control group to related education only. The results showed that the experimental group had higher mean scores for water use optimization. Therefore, it is suggested that the agricultural extension method can positively change the attitude of dry land grape producers towards water use optimization when the educational method makes use of the art of poetry.
