Abstract
This study aims to identify variances between the graduates nd beneficiaries concerning diffusion, adoption, and continuing in applying the agricultural recommendations of biofertilizers at the some time, it identifies the causes of rejection for the new practices of biofertilizers at Noubaria regions.
Three locations are chosen with a total sample of 243 farmers. his sample include 169 beneficiaries and 74 graduates who were sele ted randomly from the agricultural cooperatives represent 30% of the populat'on. An interview schedule was designed. Percentages frequency tables, t-test, and simple correlation are used.
The main findings reveal the high rate of diffusion of biofertili~ers among graduates rather than beneficiaries as for hearing about th~se practices. Meanwhile the adoption rate for biofertilizers among graduates were higher than beneficiaries. Agricultural extension is the first source of information among both categories: graduates and beneficiaries. LacK of information about the biofertilizers was the first cause of non- - adoptio of this innovation among the two categories. Hower, lack of acces to biofertilizer was responsible for stopping use of biochemical among farmers. Differences exist between the two categories as for the degree of hea ing about the biofertilizers their adoption of each type of fertilizers except Okadin. Correlations exist between the degrees of hearing about the brofertilizers and the degrees of adopting its practices.
