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.

Adoption in commercial farming is limited by several challenges, including acidic, highly weathered soils with frequent rainfall and intensive cropping. Plant uptake is unpredictable, as fertilizer content does not guarantee availability, and responses vary with soil pH, organic matter, and mineral composition.
