This research mainly aimed to identify the Attitude impact of the national campaign for Improving maize by the following sub-objectives: Determining the level of Attitudes of the respondents participating and not participating in the national campaign towards implementing the technical recommendations, and determining the differences between the average degrees of the total Attitudes of the participating respondents and non-participants, and determining the correlation between the degrees of the total Attitudes of the participating respondents and some independent variables, and determining the most contributing variables in explaining the variation in the degrees of the total Attitudes. The data of this research was collected from: an experimental sample of 221 respondents from farmers participating in the national campaign, and a control sample of 221 from neighboring farmers who did not participate in the national campaign, and the data was collected using the questionnaire form, frequencies, percentages, standard deviation, arithmetic mean, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, multiple regression coefficient, and T-test were used in the presentation and analysis of data. The results showed that more than half of the respondents of the experimental sample, 59.3%, came in the category of positive attitudes towards implementing technical recommendations; While 9.5% of the control sample came in the same category; and more than one third of the respondents of the experimental sample, 37.1%, came in the category of the level of neutral Attitudes; While nearly two thirds of the respondents of the control sample came in the same category, 65.2%, and the total degree of the attitudes of the respondents participating in the national campaign towards implementing technical recommendations has a significant correlation at a probability level of 0.01 with the variables of educational status, the degree of exposure to agricultural information, and the area of agricultural holding , the area planted with maize, and the degree of participation in extension activities, and it has a significant positive relationship at the probability level of 0.05 with the variable degree of willingness to change, and it has a significant inverse relationship at the probability level of 0.01 with the age variable; and there are only four variables that contribute to explaining the variation in the total degree of attitudes: age, degree of exposure to information sources, degree of participation in extension activities, and degree of readiness for change.
