These findings indicate that positive perception contributes to improved organic fertilizer utilization behavior; however, perception alone is insufficient to explain farmers' behavioral decisions because adoption is also influenced by farming experience, economic conditions, fertilizer availability, land ownership, and agricultural extension support.
