Adoption of an environment friendly agricultural technique, namely Integrated Pest Management (IPM) depends on various socio-economic and demographic factors. This study attempts to determine the factors that influence farmers’ decision to receive IPM. For analysis purpose several socio-economic and demographic information were collect from 617 farmers of five division (Dhaka, Chittagong, Rangpur, Khulna, Barisal), Bangladesh by prepared a structured query. To ensure randomness, simple random sampling technique was used for data collection. Farmers’ ten background characteristics were analyzed in both bivariate and multivariate setup. In bivariate setup, association between selected factors and adoption status of IPM were investigated by performing a chi-square test. To get the adjusted effect, a binary logistic regression model was estimated in multivariate setup. The res.. View More»
