James F. Evans Collection; See C06647 for original; Based on a thesis submitted to the University of Pretoria in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree M. Inst. Agrar., This study examines the influence of tribal leaders and front line extension workers on agricultural development in Swaziland. Based on a 12 percent stratified random sample including 23 chiefdomss, 46 tribal leaders and 23 front line extension workers were interviewed by using a structured interview schedule. In search of a valid measure of agricultural development, several indicators were used. The number of cattle per homestead, the saving status of homesteads and the subjective ratings by senior extension personnel were found to be invalid. Evaluated against an agricultural development index it was found that tribal leaders, although not as important as extension workers, were found to have a significant influence, especially as far as their involvement, inputs, credibility and their perceptions are concerned. These findings suggest that tribal leaders, if involved in a positive way, can contribute towards agricultural development, although more research is needed concerning, inter alia, valid criteria for measuring agricultural development and the analysis of the perceptions of subordinates (original).
cited reference, In many developing nations pesticides are indiscriminately sold without health warnings. Few farmers properly use the chemicals, resulting in poisoning and a growing number of related deaths. Some developing nations are even producing their own pesticides. Governments needs to control pesticides, and manufacturers need to adhere to ethical rules when dealing with developing nations. Environmental and health risk information must be available, and national organizations should be formed to promote safeguards.

The need to preserve "local knowledge" to let the system evolve and to introduce the technology that matches the physical and intellectural capabilities of the target group is expressed. The appropriate media to transfer the technology is presented in light of the geographic terrain of the target groups.
