The descriptive analytical approach was used to collect data from a sample of 370 For the agricultural season 2024, and the results showed that 46% of farmers were dissatisfied with these services, which negatively affected their productivity and crop quality. Statistically significant differences were found in the level of satisfaction based on demographic characteristics such as educational level and income. Moreover, 69.6% of the participants expressed dissatisfaction with the transfer of agricultural research results related to protected tomatoes, while 67.8% expressed satisfaction with determining the seasons of demand for the crop. Based on these results, the study suggested restructuring the agricultural extension apparatus to better meet the needs of farmers, provide a suitable working environment for extension workers, and support the marketing of agricultural products, as 57.1% of farmers expressed dissatisfaction with this support. Finally, the study recommended the need to enhance communication between stakeholders and farmers to maximize the benefit from extension services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Effectiveness, services, guidance, tomato, reserve, Tartous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Full Paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v12n2p49.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safaa Razzouk(1)* (1).
