The research is focusing basically on the agricultural extension control at the govemmentallevel and the local level as well district centers. OBJECTIVES:- The objectives at the governmental level were: To determine the differences in the knowledge between managers of agricultural extension in the studied governorates concerning control concept, methods of control, efficiency of control activities, rates of control misconduct, their recognition of the extension control problems and their suggestions to develop control as they viewed. For local levels, the research objectives were: To determine the differences in both of their knowledge about extension control and their implementation which they carried out at each of the populations of the agricultural extension inspectors group and managers of agricultural districts group and to determine the difference between the average of their degrees, dealing with actual implementation of extension control and to recognize the extension control problems, and their opinions to solve. Procedures: - To conduct the research, five governorates had been chosen to represent the different regions in Egypt.

Through a questionnaire with interview, data had been collected from all the respondents groups that contain the necessary measures so as to achieve the research objectives. Data had been manipulated for the purposes of statistical analysis. Statistical tools were: Freedman test for nonparametric two-way analysis of variance, means, standard deviation, coefficient of variance, in addition to frequency and the percentage in table forms. Results: The most important results were as follows: 1.The level of knowledge sufficiency about extension control among the general directors of agricultural extension at the governorates level was middle with a tendency to be low and the differences between them were not sharp. Concerning knowledge about extension control concepts, the differences were relatively homogenate. Dealing with each of knowledge about control methods and control subject the differences was clear. 2. The level of implementation sufficiency for ext. control, for the general directors of agriculture extension in all governorates was low with a slight tendency to be medium in some governorates. Differences between them were clear concerning both of actual performance of ext. control and performance of control methods. ’ 3. The level of knowledge sufficiency about controls among the inspectors of agricultural extension was low in most of the governorates in each of the knowledge of control concept items, the knowledge of control methods and the knowledge of control subjects. Differences between means of both ------------------------ 3 scores were almost little with the exception of control subjects knowledge that was relatively high. 4. The level of knowledge about control to manager of agricultural administration at districts was nearly low.
