Abstract: This study tries to find the contributing factors of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) adoption behavior of Bangladeshi farmers. For analysis, the necessary information was collected from 345 farmers residing in Phultala Upazila of Khulna division, Bangladesh with structured questionnaires. A simple random sampling technique was applied for data collection. In the bivariate setup, the association between the adoption status of IPM and possible contributing factors was examined by performing a chi-square test. A multivariable logistic regression was applied in a multivariate setup. The estimates of the model provide evidence that farmers’ education level, farm size, training status on IPM, membership status of IPM club and farmer’s field school have significant effects on farmers’ adoption behavior of IPM. The findings call for greater attention on the part of the government for increasing farmers’ education level, facilitating more training programs and arranging several motivational seminars on IPM at the primary level.
