Abstract

Background & Objective: Nowadays consumption of bio fertilizers as alternative of chemical fertilizers with decreasing Environmental hazards has been affected farmers' Environmental behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the components of Alborz province farmers’ Environmental behavior about bio fertilizers application. Method: The statistical population was farmers who were using bio-fertilizers that 45 of them were studied by snowball sampling method. The research instrument was a questionnaire that validity of it was obtained by a panel of experts and reliability of scales examined by Cronbach’ s alpha coefficient (greater than 0. 7). Findings: The result indicated that farmers’ Environmental behavior about use of bio fertilizers was more than intermediate level. In addition, there is a significant and positive correlation between a total of constitutive components of Environmental behavior of the farmers and cultivated area, rate of Environmental and economic perception of bio fertilizers application effects and rate of motivation factors for bio fertilizers consumption. The results of regression analysis revealed that the variables of: rate of Environmental and economic perception of bio fertilizers application effects and rate of motivation factors for bio fertilizers consumption, cultivated area, the rate of access to devices needed for use of bio fertilizers explained about 43% of variation of the dependent variable. Discussion and Conclusions: Considering that the level of Environmental and economic perception of the effects of the use of bio-fertilizers on farmers and the motivating factors for the use of bio-fertilizers are the most important factors in predicting the behavior of using bio fertilizers, therefore, mass media can provide programs about the consumption of bio-fertilizers, improve the motivation of farmers to use bio-fertilizers. Also it seems that there is no need to specific machinery for the use of fertilizers, by familiarizing farmers with bio-fertilizers, they can be encouraged to use them, and the process of accepting bio-fertilizers is accelerating by transferring subsidies from chemical fertilizers to bio-fertilizers.
