The proposed model was prepared according to the following procedures: literature and forms, expert observations, review of research and articles, conducting field visits, documents and records. 3 fields, 12 elements and 168 paragraphs were developed, all of which formed the initial formula of the model. The model was presented in its initial form to a group of experts in the field of agricultural extension and management, and after taking their observations into account; the model now includes 3 fields, 12 elements and 148 paragraphs.
