| Abstract | ||
| The research aimed to determine the reality of the relationship and the degree of interdependence between the agricultural research centers and the Agricultural Extension Service in Libya, by identifying the importance of the activities that achieve the relationship between the two organizations and the level of implementation of those activities from the respondents' point of view. It also aimed to identify the obstacles facing that relationship, and the opinions of the respondents. On the proposals that strengthen the bonds of interdependence between the research centers and the Agricultural Extension Authority, the research was conducted on a group of researchers and agricultural extension workers working in the Agricultural Research Center and the Agricultural Extension Authority in the Tripoli region, Libya, through a regular random sample representing 40% of the total number of each And the questionnaire form was used as a tool for collecting data for the research, and the data was digitally processed and analyzed statistically, and the descriptive method was used to present the search results in the manner of frequencies, percentages, and arithmetic averages, and the most important results were as follows: 1. The nature of the relationship between the research centers and the Agricultural Extension Authority was very weak, while a high percentage of the respondents believed that it was important for there to be a relationship and interdependence among them. 2. The results showed that the most important obstacles facing the relationship between them from the point of view of the respondents is the absence of regulations and laws that regulate the relationship between them, and the blurring of communication lines among them. 3. The most important proposals that the respondents see to strengthen the relationship between them is the formulation of legislation and laws that regulate the work between them through the unified agricultural research and extension teams, and the formation of permanent central committees to coordinate the work and the relationship among them. 4. It was also found that the nature of the prevailing contacts between the research centers and the Agricultural Extension Authority is personal and informal in most cases. | ||
