Nowadays to assure the adaptation and defusion of technology within farmers a solid link is necessary to be obtained among research –extTherefore in the present study the effective and non effective factors are investigated to determine the potential linkages and correlations between the research-extension-farmer. As it was mentioned earlier the purpose of the study was to achieve the above aim. In this study the participatants were Three groups. The first sample population consisted of 43 specialists with the knowledge of AKIS in Iran. In the second sample population section assigned through random sampling the participants were 55 Individuals chosen from the staff of agricultural reseach Institute.

Then,through two phases the experts reached an agreement on 36 variables. In the secand step,the opinions of researchers and extension experts toward the existing condition of variables were investigated. Finally according to the experts opinion 36 effective variables were found to be effective on the linkages between the three above mentioned elements. 20 of which (these variables) doesnot have the appropriate condition in present Iran.
