This study investigated the impact of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) knowledge, local wisdom, and farmer motivation on farmer behavior in IPM within Palu, Central Sulawesi. A causative multivariate analysis method was employed, incorporating path analysis for explanatory purposes, and an expost facto correlational research design was executed. Data were systematically and standardly collected via structured questionnaires and observational tests. Both descriptive and inferential analysis techniques were employed for the evaluation of the collected data. A sample of 115 horticultural farmers across six villages in Palu City was selected through a simple proportional sampling method. The study findings suggest a direct influence on farmer behavior in IPM from IPM knowledge (2.43%), local wisdom (2.13%), and farmer motivation (37.45%). Furthermore, evidence was found of significant increases in IPM behavior via motivation, from 2.43% to 4.24% with respect to IPM knowledge and from 2.13% to 6.10% concerning local wisdom. The study concludes that enhancements in IPM behavior could be achieved through bolstering IPM knowledge, local wisdom, and farmer motivation. These findings have implications for the improvement of integrated pest control practices among farmers.

Most ethnic farmers use chemical pesticides widely to enhance crop yield and to control pests in the farm. The use of chemical pesticides could lead to a series of health impacts of the farmers and environmental issues. The main aim of the study is to explore farmers' knowledge, attitude and current farm practices on pest management in potato production. �The participants of 100 farmers were chosen from each village with a cluster and purposive sampling technique using structured questionnaires to collect the data from a village in Kalaw Township. The finding showed that 72% of farmers use only chemical pesticides�due to more effective and only 28% of the farmers used chemical and alternative methods. In the result, 15% of the Taung Yo ethnic farmers, 5% of the Pa-O, and 8% of the Danu are used alternative pest control methods (biological, physical and cultural pest control method). Physical and mechanical method is one of the most applied methods for the ethnic farmers in potato production. Most farmers received training from pesticide companies' staff and whereas only 3% received information from governmental officials. Half of the farmers have moderate knowledge level on pest management. Most farmers have low attitude on biological and physical pest control methods in the study area. Marital status, type of farmland, farm experience and other crops plantation were significantly related to pest control methods in potato crop production. This study will help extension workers to provide appropriate training and improve farmers' knowledge, attitude and practices of pest control management for the highland crop.
