Abstract
This research was done aimed to investigation the effective factors on production skills of tobacco growers in Mazandaran province. This is an applied study based on descriptive-correlation method. Statistical population of this research consisted of 1500 tobacco growers of Mazandaran province, and 306 people were selected based on Morgan table. Content validity of the questionnaire was determined by experts and professors’ ideas. After doing necessary reforms and preliminary tests, we achieved Cronbach's alpha coefficient 81%.
