A simple random sample of agricultural extension agents was chosen, with 76 respondents. Data were collected by using a questionnaire form through personal interviews, mobile phone, social media, and e-mail with the respondents. Some statistical tools were used, such as the percentage, mean, standard deviation, simple and multiple correlation coefficient, partial regression coefficient and step-wise. The most important results were: About 59% of the respondents had a high degree of total knowledge of the climate change phenomenon, about 68% of them were familiar with the concept of this phenomenon, about 64% of them had a high degree of knowledge of the causes of this phenomenon, about 76% of them had a degree high knowledge of the general manifestations of this phenomenon, approximately 65% of them had a high degree of knowledge of the manifestations of this phenomenon in agriculture, and only about 7% of them high knowledge degree the dangers of this phenomenon on agriculture. It was also found that two independent variables contribute to explaining the variation occurring in the total knowledge degree of the climate change phenomenon were the agricultural experience variable (12.2%) and extension training variable (5.5%). A vision was proposed for the future role of extension work to confront the effects of this phenomenon at this governorate, including five axes: the organizational axis, extensionstes axis, extension workers axis, extension communication methods, and technical technologies axis.

The data for this research were collected using a questionnaire with a personal interview of 120 respondents rural women residents at the village of Manshit Abbas, Sidi Salem district, which were randomly selected from the wives of the holders and the holders women that was randomly selected by a simplified random sample and represent about 5 % of the 2400 holders wives and holders women who planted of wheat, rice and maize crops during the past two years, during the months of March and April 2020. Statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, standard deviation, and weighted mean were used to explain and interpret the results. The most important findings were: 65% of the total respondents have been characterized between a moderate and low level of total knowledge by the recommendations in relation decrease losses in the major cereal crops, about 81%, 58% and 57% in relation to decrease losses before harvest, during the harvest, and post-harvest losses. The most important problems facing respondents in relation to decrease losses were: increases in production input prices, the spread of agricultural diseases and pests, increase in pesticide costs for sprinkling the warehouse, lack of rural women’s knowledge with cereal crop production recommendations, a shortage human labor at harvest time, knowledge lack of proper storage methods, use of traditional methods in the harvest process, and knowledge lack of rural women with post-harvest treatments.
