ABSTRACT This study aims to determine how the behavior of farmers in the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in terms of three aspects: the ecological aspects, economic aspects and technological aspects. This research was conducted in two districts in East Mongondow Bolaang. Collecting data in this study conducted at 40 farmers of the District Parent and Modayak Modayak West. All farmers are farmers who have participated in the Field School of Integrated Pest Management. The data collection is done by using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was prepared based on measurement principles Likert Scale. The collected data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. Based on the research, regression equation: Y = 4.240 + + 0,326X3 0,083X2 0,07X1 + e. Furthermore, based on the results of testing of the F-statistic can be concluded that the ecological aspects, economic aspects and technological aspects together have the same effect on the opinion of the farmer (Y) significantly. This we can see where the F-count is 8,040 and the F-table for 2866, in other words 8,040 F count> F-Table 2866. So the null hypothesis is rejected. It means ecological aspects, economic aspects and technological aspects together have the same effect on the opinion of the farmer (Y). While based on t-test statistics for independent variables namely the ecological aspects, economic aspects and aspects of the technology are as follows: the ecological aspect t calculate equal to 2,422> t table 2028, the economic aspect t calculate equal to 2,083> t table 2,028 and technological aspects t of 2,702> t table 2,028. Thus, ecological aspects, economic aspects and technological aspects of the real effect on the opinion of farmers about IPM.

In the present study, documentation of farmer’s knowledge on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) was carried out in Rupandehi district during the year 2016. The objective of this paper is to assess the knowledge of farmers about IPM and its effectiveness in this district. It was carried out by conducting semi-structured interview with the participants of IPM FFS, vegetable growing farmers, stakeholders and local people with the help of standard questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and key informant interview. The IPM program is found to be conducted by an international non-government organization viz. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and government organizations viz. Plant Protection Directorate (PPD), Agronomy Development Directorate (ADD) and District Agriculture Development Organization (DADO) through Farmer’s Field School (FFS) in this district. In total forty IPM FFS was conducted from 1998 to 2015 which provided training about IPM in rice and vegetable crops to 1057 farmers in which 393 were male and 664 female. Although a significant difference has been found in the knowledge about the amount of pesticide used, biological method of pest control for IPM by FFS participant and nonparticipant farmers, it is not observed in their behavior during the cultivation of crops in the farm. The result showed that only 5% of participants of Farmer’s Field School (FFS) are following IPM practices in their own farm after taking training. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 5(2): 237-242
