The study deals with the problem of Arabicization of agricultural terms published in an agricultural terms pamphlet. These terms are also published in other Arabic sources. The Arabicization is achieved by the Jordan Arabic Language Academy. This study is carried out from a terminology planning perspective. The study examines the extent of acceptability of the Arabicized agricultural terms, and evaluates the efforts of the Academy in Arabicizing agricultural terms. Moreover, the present study attempts to investigate the problems that face the Arabicization of agricultural terms, and presents several recommendations and possible solutions to those problems. The researchers develop a questionnaire considered as the basic tool for investigating the different aspects of this study. The sample of the study consists of 100 students in the Faculty of Agriculture in the University of Jordan and Jordan University of Science and Technology. The results of the present study indicate the following trends: Most agricultural students in Jordan get moderate scores in five criteria of acceptability of Arabicized terms. The extent of acceptability of Arabicized agricultural terms is moderate as evidenced by the 2.56 overall averages on the 5-point scale. Most agricultural students in Jordan are prepared under the current circumstances to accept and adopt Arabicized agricultural terms. Most agricultural students in Jordan call for re-phrasing and developing of some Arabicized agricultural terms as well as a fundamental change in the current mechanism in which the Academy conducts its work. Finally, the researchers conclude that decisions-making to adopt and use the terms, and coordination among universities and the Jordan Academy, on the one hand, and Academies in the Arab World, on the other hand, help the spread of Arabicized agricultural terms.
