This study attempts to examine how farmers' knowledge and behavior regarding rat control affect rice yields in Mojolegi Village, Teras, Boyolali. This study applies a quantitative approach by selecting 53 farmers as samples through a simple random sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed through multiple linear regression using SPSS software. The findings of this study indicate that farmers' knowledge has no significant effect on rice yields (t = -0.535; sig. = 0.595), while attitudes have a positive and significant effect (t = 3.609; sig. <0.001). The results show that farmers' behavior and knowledge have a significant effect on rice farming productivity (F = 27.190; sig. = <0.001). These two variables contribute 52.1% of the variation in rice farming productivity, according to the R2 value of 0.521. Other factors not included in this study contribute 47.9% of the variation. In addition, it was found that farmer behavior plays a more significant role in increasing rice farming productivity.
