ABSTRACT
Fertigation is now widely used by Chilies and Rock Melon commercial growers. There are numerous advantages that fertigation can provide, such as increased production and lower costs. On the other hand, the effectiveness of fertigation is concerned with the influence of other factors. Thus, this study aims to investigate the impact of various factors such as technology, knowledge, and MyGAP on the efficacy of fertigation. The perception of adoption as a moderator between the factors listed and the efficacy of fertigation has also been investigated. An empirical survey was conducted with 80 local farmers who used fertigation on their farms. The findings indicate that technology and MyGAP implementation significantly influence fertility, whereas knowledge does not affect its effectiveness. MyGAP's influence on fertigation can only be moderated by fertigation perception, and it does not affect fertigation technology or knowledge. More research is needed to investigate additional factors that can improve the effectiveness of fertigation.
