In this research, the most important characteristics, constraints and advantages of the well- known extension approaches all over the world are delineated ,however, in brief .It then examines, on an analytical basis, the viewpoints of national extension specialists in terms of level of employing each individual approach in both concerned ex-ministries , i.e. ministry of Jihad-e Sazandegi (moj) and ministry of agriculture (moa);as well as the capability of the approaches to be used in ministry of Jihad-e agriculture (moja). In terms of the type of extension approach employed by moa, findings well reveal general agricultural extension approach as the dominant one. According to respondents, commodity specialized approach, technical change approach and project approach come respectively after the above - mentioned foremost approach. Respondents regard, however, participatory approach and general extension approach as the most widely – used approaches in moj.
