Abstract

This study aims to analyze farmers' perceptions of organic fertilizer use on agricultural land and identify factors influencing these perceptions. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, documentation, and questionnaires distributed to 30 farmers actively engaged in agricultural activities. Respondents were selected purposively based on their farming experience and use of organic and chemical fertilizers. The results of the study indicated that most farmers have a positive perception of the use of organic fertilizers, especially in maintaining soil fertility and environmental sustainability. Farmers believe that organic fertilizers can improve soil structure, maintain moisture, and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers. However, several obstacles remain in their application, such as the processing process being considered impractical, the need for additional labor, and the perception that organic fertilizers take longer to show results than chemical fertilizers. Experience, knowledge, and support from farmer groups are important factors influencing farmers' perceptions of organic fertilizer use. This study indicates that increased education and mentoring for farmers is needed to support the implementation of sustainable agriculture through the wider use of organic fertilizers.
