This study was carried out to identify Technical-Agronomic
Factors Impressible from Fish Farming in Rice Fields.
This investigation carried out by descriptive survey during
July-August 2009. Studied cities including Talesh, Rezvanshahr
and Masal set in Tavalesh region near to Caspian Sea, North
of Iran. The questionnaire validity and reliability were determined
to enhance the dependability of the results. Data were collected
from 184 respondents (61 adopters and 123 non-adopters)
randomly sampled from selected villages and analyzed using
logistic regression analysis. Results showed that there was a
significant positive relationship (p<0.05) between biological
control of pests in rice fields and the fish farming in rice
fields. Also, there was a significant negative relationship
(p<0.10) between the fish farming in rice fields and variables
of quantity using pesticide of Diazinon in rice fields and
number of plows in rice fields.
