This research was a descriptive-correlation study which is done by survey method. The statistical population of this study included wheat farmers of three Service Center of Arak county (Hume arak, Musk Abad and Aybak Abad, (N=263). Among all of them, 155 persons were selected as the statistical sample by using Morgan with symmetrical random sampling method (n=156). Data collection was fulfilled by the use of questionnaire. Content validity of the questionnaire was reviewed by comments of experts and professors of Agricultural Extension and Education, and the reliability was calculated by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0/75 ≤ α ≤ 0/81). According the results of correlation coefficient, there was a positive and significant correlation between use of information sources, attitudes toward conservation tillage, agricultural land, the amount of income from farming, and the distance between farm and farm service center with the adoption of conservation tillage. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that the income from farming, attitude toward conservation tillage and use of information sources aspects determined 39% of the variations in the adoption. The results of the means comparison showed a significant difference between adoption of conservation tillage and participation or nonparticipation in extension classes and type of machinery ownership at the level of 5percent University of Tehran 2008-4838 46 v. 4 no. 2016 645 654 https://ijaedr.ut.ac.ir/article_58013_8b0208cb78875931119db506cc4776be.pdf dx.doi.org/10.22059/ijaedr.2016.58013 غلامحسین عبدالله زاده دانشیار- دانشکده مدیریت کشاورزی- دانشگاه علوم کشاورزی و منابع طبیعی گرگان author محمد شریف شریف زاده دانشیار- دانشکده مدیریت کشاورزی- دانشگاه علوم کشاورزی و منابع طبیعی گرگان author حسین احمدی گرجی دانشجوی دکتری- دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی- واحد علوم تحقیقات تهران author text article 2016 per This research aimed to examine what determines the usage of pest biological control practices (BCP) by farmers in paddy land of Sari County. A revised Technology acceptance model (TAM), that integrate compatibility, BCP self-efficacy, facilitative conditions with TAM constructs (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) was used to conceptualize a research model. Subjects for this study were rice growers in Sari County. By using Cochran formula 136 farmers selected through a stratified random sampling method in 26 villages. Coronbach Alpha coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the reliability and validity of the measurement model. The structural equation modeling technique was used to evaluate the causal model. The results of causal model estimation provide experimental support for most of hypothesis of theoretical model. These results showed that compatibility, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use significantly affected farmers’ behavioral intention. Facilitative conditions had strong indirect impact on farmers’ behavioral intention through the mediators of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and BCP self-efficacy. Yet, the hypothesis for BCP self-efficacy effect on the perceived usefulness was not supported while on the perceived ease of use was supported. Some recommendations include; strengthening of extensional and training programs, employing skillful extension agents and improving technical supports are provided.

For this purpose, social accounting matrix of the year 1380 was prepared and general equilibrium model was developed. Since Gasoline and diesel has tow prices, the effects of targeted subsidies law of energy carriers were simulated in two scenarios. The results of two aformentioned scenarios showed that targeted subsidies of energy carriers would reduce demand for primary inputs of production, income of economic- social institutions especially households income. Given that the urban households are the main suppliers of primary inputs of production, their incomes will decrease more than rural households and three other institutions (government, public and private companies).

To do this, the annual data of the period 1961-2011 is used. First, the volatility index of oil prices is estimated through the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model and the interactive correlations of the model variables is determined using vector Error Correction model (VECM) and then the long-run correlations between the variables are specified using Johansson's cointegration method. The results indicate that oil price volatility, which is the main objective of the present study, has a negative impact on private investment in the long term. And in the long term, each unit increase in the volatility of oil prices (with the assumption of stability of other explanatory variables of the model) would cause 0.93units of negative impact on agriculture sector.

Relevant data were extracted from the data of the Central Bank and the World Food Organization and analyzed by Microfit and Eviews softwares. The results indicated that, Short-term changes in exchange rates and the value of exports in the current and prior periods has a negative impact on export prices and world prices and domestic prices has a positive effect on export prices. Therefore, monetary policy can prevent sudden fluctuations in the exchange rate, it seems good. Also, in long-term changes in exchange rates, is a one of the most important factors affecting export prices of dates. So it is suggested that monetary policy by the central bank in such a way that prevent sudden fluctuations in the exchange rate.

The output growth in the demand side happens because, technological change in each of the economic sectors causes input substitution among production inputs that can influence the growth of output in other sectors through the backward linkages. In the present study, the impact of technological change in the Iranian economic sectors on the production growth of four agricultural sub-sectors has been analyzed over 1986-2001 periods. To this end, structural decomposition analysis methodology has been utilized using input-output tables of the years 1986, 1991, and 2001. Following this approach and as a first step, output growth has been decomposed into three main components including, changes in final demand, import substitution, and technological change. Then, the technological change effect has further been decomposed into individual coefficients that reveal technological change effects in each of the economic sectors on the growth of output in agricultural subsectors. Results indicate that growth of agricultural products is highly influenced by technological change in food industries which has been relatively livestock and poultry using and the other agricultural products saving. This result emphasizes the necessity of developing food industries for processing cropping, horticulture and fisheries products parallel to the development of livestock and poultry processing industry.

Research instrument was a questionnaire which its face validity and reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha) were approved. A dominant statistical method was discriminant analysis. The results show that interpersonal and leadership skills as two dimensions of Employability are more dominant in group of students with high level of intention to entrepreneurial startup behavior while Numeracy, management and systems thinking skills as other dimensions are more dominant in group of students with high level of intention to employment in public setting. Critical skills did not show any significant role. The results of the study demonstrate that employability skills as an individual's quality could play explanatory role for intention to be independent entrepreneur for students.
