This cannot be achieved without applying and using new technologies in the agricultural sector through precision agriculture. Since the acceptance and application of this type of technology is facing challenges and obstacles; The aim of this quantitative study is to "investigate the factors influencing the adoption of UAV technology in two retrospective and prospective perspectives". The required information was collected in the form of questionnaires made by the researcher among the potato farmers of Kermanshah city. In order to analyze the data, the statistical method of logistic regression was used. The findings indicated that only three variables of perceived risks, the intention to use drones and the perceived need for technology were effective on the acceptance of drone technology, so that by reducing each of these variables, the possibility of increasing the adoption of drone technology among farmers. Potatoes work more. Therefore, holding promotional courses and granting financial facilities to potato farmers can be effective in facilitating the adoption of drone technology. Manuscript profile -

This survey research was carried out with the aim of analyzing frost protection practices among apple orchardists of Kakan Dehestan, Boyer Ahmad county (N = 1241, n=112). The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. Face validity confirmed by a panel of experts. In order to measure reliability, a pilot study was conducted and Cronbach's alpha coefficient estimated (0.69< α <0.89). Based on the results, the most frequent behaviors among the gardeners were predictive behaviors and the use of technological measures was the least prevalent ones. Orchardists were clustered into two groups of compatible organizers and incompatible procrastinators. The results of the t-test analysis showed that the two groups had adopted different behaviors regarding the protection of gardens in dealing with frost; in such a way that the group of compatible organizers was significantly different from the group of incompatible procrastinators in terms of forecasting actions, planning actions, control actions, traditional actions, and techno-innovational actions. Results of the logistic regression showed that orchardists with more coping appraisal, threat appraisal and household size and less physical costs were more likely to adapt protection behaviors. According to the findings of the research it is necessary to develop frost protection measures through encouragement of gardeners via incentive policies, establishing gardeners' organizations and group formation to deal with frost protection.

The statistical population was 662 tobacco farmers in Minoodasht and Dozin regions located in the east of the province, of those 154 samples were selected as a sample population by using Cocheran's formula. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire. The questionnaire validity was assessed by discriminant and convergent validity methods and the questionaire reliability was evaluated by composite reliability method using PLS software. The hypotheses test and structural modeling equations results showed that the variables attitude with a coefficient of 0.717, personality with a coefficient of 0.322, perceived ease of use with a coefficient of 0.267, trust with a coefficient of 0.167 and perceived risk with a coefficient of 0.138 were the strongest determination of farmers' behavioral intention in accepting Arta tobacco, respectively.

The aim of the current research is to investigate the relationship between the features of the social system and the reorganization of the socio-ecological systems of the agricultural sector in the context of the concept of resilience. For this purpose, 118 experts from the country's management and planning organization, the vice president for strategic planning and supervision, as the only reliable institution with a comprehensive view and using the census technique, were selected and answered questions related to the characteristics of socio-ecological agricultural systems of Iran through a questionnaire. The findings obtained using the canonical correlation analysis method showed that the characteristics of the social system have a significant relationship with the reorganization of the social-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture. The canonical correlation analysis showed two significant sets between the features of the social system and the reorganization of social-ecological agricultural systems, and the significance level of 0.000 with a probability of 99 percent confirmed the existence of a canonical correlation between the two sets of variables. The results of canonical correlation showed that the total canonical coefficient between the social system and reorganization is 0.811 x 0.811, which shows the correlation between the two hidden variables at the rate of 0.65, so such a social system plays a role, it is effective and dynamic in the context of the sustainability of the socio-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture.
