The Intention to Adopt Green Pesticide Among Oil Palm Planters: Review of The Extant Literature

Pests and diseases can cause costly and irreparable harm to crops, especially oil palm. There are many methods that planters can adopt to manage them, and green pesticides can serve as an alternative solution. Preliminary research is carried out by adopting the theory of planned behaviour or TPB [at...
