Abstract
The result of the study, the effect of the Training and Visit (T&V) system on the transfer of improved wheat technology to farmers in Ankara province, indicated that T&V has led to considerable development- of wheat technology and production. Regarding the adoption level of recommended practices, 59 % of the recommended practices were adopted by farmers considering each component of the recommended practices from initial tillage to harvesting. Farmers were grouped in terms of their practices and whether there is a difference in terms of wheat yield between groups was statistically tested. Farmers who did not adopt recommended practices had lower yield than that of others. Almost all farmers said that recommended practices are useful, however, inputs are very expensive and not available when needed. Most farmers indicated that this is the reason for non adoption. On the contrary, many farmers use second generation input more than recommended. Another reason for non adoption indicated by farmers is the lack of capital.
