Respon berdasarkan sikap sudah tinggi, sedangkan respon petani berdasarkan penerapan pestisida hayati masih rendah. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi respon petani terhadap pestisida hayati berdasarkan pemahaman adalah ketrampilan membuat pestisida hayati, persepsi tentang harga pestisida kimiawi dan luas garapan. Semakin tinggi ketrampilan membuat pestisida hayati akan semakin tinggi responnya, dan semakin tinggi harga pestisida kimiawi juga akan semakin tinggi respon terhadap pestisida hayati berdasarkan pemahaman. Semakin luas lahan petani akan semakin rendah responnya terhadap pestisida hayati. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi respon petani berdasarkan sikap yaitu intensitas penyuluhan dan kemudahan mendapatkan bahan baku. Semakin tinggi intensitas penyuluhan dan semakin mudah mendapatkan bahan baku akan semakin tinggi respon petani terhadap pestisida hayati berdasarkan sikap. Sedangkan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi respon petani berdasarkan penerapan adalah ketrampilan membuat pestisida hayati dan persepsi resiko gagal panen. Semakin tinggi ketrampilan membuat pestisida hayati akan semakin tinggi respon petani berdasarkan penerapan dan semakin tinggi resiko gagal panen bila menggunakan pestisida hayati akan semakin rendah responnya

district, Bantul regency toward biology pesticide and determine the factors influencing farmer’s response based on understanding, attitude and application. Descriptive method was applied in this research with using survey technique for collecting main data with questionnaires while multiple regression technique was applied in data analysis. The results show that understanding of farmer on bio-pesticides was still poor, especially in kinds of bio-pesticides, its dosage, the advantage and the risk in application of bio-pesticide. Meanwhile, their attitude shows a good response on bio-pesticides means that the farmers really wanted to apply bio-pesticide although their application of the pesticide was relatively low.

The higher the skill in preparing bio-pesticide the farmers had the higher their respond on bio-pesticide, while the larger the cultivation area the lower the farmers’ response on application of bio-pesticide. On the other hand, farmer’s attitude towards bio-pesticides was influenced by intensity of extension service and accessibility to the raw materials of bio-pesticide. The more intensive extension services and easier in accessing to the raw materials, the higher response of farmers on bio-pesticide. Meanwhile, the application of bio-pesticide was influenced by the skill in preparing bio-pesticide and the perception of the risk of loosing harvests. The higher the skill in preparing bio-pesticide and the higher the risk of harvest loss, the lower response of the farmer’s on bio-pesticide.
