Thevariables analyzed included age, level of formal education,farming experience, the role of farmer groups, and the roleof agricultural extension workers in the adoption ofbiofertilizers. The research results show that farmers’knowledge and perceptions of biofertilizers fall into the highcategory. The adoption rate of biofertilizers among farmerspartnering with PT Agrikencana Perkasa is also relativelyhigh, indicating that most farmers have accepted andimplemented the use of biofertilizers in their farmingactivities. The results of the multiple linear regressionanalysis show that the roles of farmer groups andagricultural extension workers have a significant effect onthe adoption rate of biofertilizers.
