This search aimed to acknowledging the opinions of interviewed agricultural extension agents in the degree of suitability of editing and designing some technical pamphlets issued by inheritance agricultural en-gineering research institute, also determining the most important vari-ables affecting on Editing and designing these pamphlets.
