“…Ullah et al (2011) found that 18 percent farmers had favourable perception and 16 percent had highly favourable perception of One House One Farm Approach. Oluwasusi (2014) showed that majority of the farmers in Nigeria had positive attitude toward organic agriculture practices. The analysed data on the characteristics of the respondents and the data presented in the Table 02 indicate that the respondents of the study area were relatively middle aged and had primary to secondary level of education (30.8% primary and 40% having secondary level education).…”

The study was undertaken to determine the attitude of farmers towards organic vegetable cultivation and explore the relationships between their selected characteristics with their attitude. Data were collected through personal interview using pre tested structured questionnaire from a sample of 65 randomly selected vegetable farmers and FGD during January to February 2015 in Pourashava and Sarafvata union under Rangunia upazila of Chittagong district. Attitude was measured against 13 statements regarding organic vegetable cultivation following five point Likert scale. To explore the relationship between the concerned variables correlation coefficient (r) was computed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the variables. Majority of the farmers (95.4%) had positive attitude towards organic vegetable cultivation. Correlation analysis indicates that level of education, extension media contact and agricultural training received had positive and significant relationship with their attitude score.

“…Research has shown that farmers are more likely to adopt innovations that they perceive to be useful, easy to use, and compatible with their existing farming practices (Adebiyi et al, 2017; Kernecker et al, 2020). While the perceived benefits of GFT, such as improved soil fertility and reduced environmental impact, are strong predictors of adoption behavior (Oluwasusi, 2014). Furthermore, previous researchers such as Adnan et al (2019) argued that farmers’ behavior intention is a crucial determinant of their adoption behavior toward GFT.…”

This study investigates the relationship between socio-psychological factors, innovation attributes, behavior intention, and green fertilizer technology (GFT) adoption among Malaysian paddy farmers. The study also examined whether behavior intention mediated the relationship between socio-psychological factors and green fertilizer technology. The study collected data from 170 paddy farmers in Malaysia’s Kedah and Perak states. The study used a quantitative research design and analyzed the data using the SmartPLS 4 software. The study’s results indicate a positive and significant relationship between the socio-psychological factors, innovation attributes, behavior intention, and the adoption of GFT. Specifically, the study found that the socio-psychological factors significantly positively affect farmers’ behavior intention to adopt GFT. Further, innovation attributes significantly impact farmers’ behavior and intention to adopt GFT. The study’s findings provide several implications for policymakers, extension agents, and other stakeholders interested in promoting the adoption of GFT among Malaysian paddy farmers. The study suggests that promoting positive attitudes toward GFT, creating awareness of the benefits of GFT, and improving farmers perceived behavioral control may increase farmers’ intention to adopt GFT. Additionally, policymakers should develop GFT that is simple and compatible with farmers’ needs, making it easier for farmers to adopt. Moreover, this study contributes to the literature on adopting green technologies by highlighting the importance of socio-psychological factors and innovation attributes in shaping farmers’ behavior intention to adopt GFT. The study’s findings have practical implications for policymakers and other stakeholders interested in promoting the adoption of GFT among Malaysian paddy farmers.
