The current study aimed mainly mapping the existing agricultural innovation system in Dakahalia Govemorate, using Graph Theoretical Technique. The primary objectives are to describe the system, identify the areas to be strengthened, and offer suggestions to improve the working of the system. Private system, Extension system, Educational system, Farmer organizations, and Research system were selected for studying agricultural innovation system. Data were collected through focus groups with (7) representatives of each system during March 2010. The main findings of the study were: Non integrated relations between studied components of agricultural innovation system, on the other hand most of these relations were informal and weak. Low linkage mechanisms among studied components of agricultural innovation system. The extension component had considerable control over the system or it is the key source of influence, because it was effect on other components greater than others' influence on it. The private sector was isolated and had limited basis for interaction with other components.
