The influence of radio in enhancing farmers’ perceptual situation in problem solving towards insufficient information delivery

In Agricultural Extension Services (AES), radio plays a role in situational problems like insufficient infor-mation delivery. Radio not only helps farmers in acquiring information, but also creates a tendency for farmers to deal with informational interaction and to stay connected with the problem....
