In this paper, we introduce a partitioning subsemimodule of a semimodule over a semiring which is useful to develop the quotient structure of semimodule. Indeed we prove : 1) The quotient semimodule M=N(Q) is essentially independent of choice of Q. 2) If f : M ${\rightarrow}$ M' is a maximal R-semimodule homomorphism, then $M/kerf_{(Q)}\;\cong\;M'$. 3) Every partitioning subsemimodule is subtractive. 4) Let N be a Q-subsemimodule of an R-semimodule M. Then A is a subtractive subsemimodule of M with $N{\subseteq}A$ if and only if $A/N_{(Q{\cap}A)}\;=\;\{q+N:q{\in}Q{\cap}A\}$ is a subtractive subsemimodule of $M/N_{(Q)}$.

Let R be a commutative semiring with $1_R{\neq}0_R$. Characterization of subsemimodules, prime subsemimodules and primary subsemimodules which are subtractive extensions of Q-subsemimodules in R-semimodules are investigated.
