Abstract:The present study aims to determine the contributions of agricultural pesticide and fertilizer dealers in Kocaeli province concerning agricultural extension activities. For this purpose, a 33-question questionnaire was administered to 32 actively operating pesticide dealers out of 38 in Kocaeli (including the province and the districts). The education level of the agricultural pesticide and fertilizer dealers was very high and most of them created employment. Also the profession of agricultural pesticide dealers was preferred more by men than women and they transferred information to farmers about various issues apart from pesticide and fertilizer sales. The results obtained from this study will provide useful information for academicians and politicians who will develop strategies about the issue, farmers and other stakeholders.
