摘要

In this research, the effect of individual characteristics of farmers and their farming conditions on adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) practices by farmers was determined in the Antalya province (Turkey) applying the logistic regression model. Data used in the model were collected from 53 adopted and 57 non-adopted farmers with the questionnaire method. Farm size, non-farm income, information source, age and education are significant factors on adoption of IPM practices.
