To work efficiently, organizations should act around the axis of science and knowledge. Knowledge is considered as a source of organizations’ survival and new knowledge is prerequisite for organization’s success at all levels. The current research aims to examine the status of agricultural knowledge management process and to prioritize its elements (Knowledge Creation, Knowledge Storage, Knowledge Transfer and Knowledge Application) in the Agricultural Organization of Mazandaran province. Statistical population consisted of all managers and experts of Agricultural Organization of Mazandarn (65) in subsectors of agriculture including “agronomy and horticulture”, “livestock, poultry, sericulture and apiculture”, “fisheries and aquaculture” and “forest and grassland” . First, statistics related to agricultural knowledge management elements were gathered using a likert 5 scale questionnaire and then, the state of these elements in different subsectors was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test. The results show that there is a significant difference in agricultural knowledge management process between the subsectors of “agronomy and horticulture”, “livestock, poultry, sericulture and apiculture” and “forest and grassland”. However, there is no significant difference in agricultural knowledge management process between “Fisheries and aquaculture” and other subsectors. Finally, TOPSIS technique was used in order to prioritize the components of knowledge management. The results showed that knowledge management process gets weaker as the Agricultural Organization moves from knowledge creation towards knowledge application. So, making policies seems necessary to internalize the benefits of knowledge creation within the Agricultural Organization and agricultural sector in Mazandaran province.

Abstract :The main objective of the research is to design the suitable knowledge transfer in agricultural research centers through distance education. The research method was a combinational one. The primary information was collected through Delphi method by knowledge transfer experts. After extraction of main criteria’s and determination of validity and reliability, the questionnaire was given to test givers. The data collection method was a field (questionnaire) and documentary one. The statistical population included 1930 people ; scientific staff ,the educators ,the educational trainers of agriculture research institutions and centers.According to Morgan table the sample volume was calculated on groups separation and to their population were 641 people ,which were selected as random classification.The data analysis was performed by descriptive and interventional statistics (the subjective /explorative analysis of first Bartlett and approval analysis )through application of SPSS and LISREL software .The results of the variance of each of the index and average variance of 37/61 percent indicator of knowledge production, technology, distance education, financial resources, technological content production. Information and communication, psychological, organizational culture and policies have a significant positive impact on knowledge transfer. And the explanatory model of knowledge transfer. Analysis of the rating factors indicator more effective knowledge creation in knowledge transfer. In addition Goodness of fit test results indicate the model is
