Abstract
Excessive use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers has led to acute and chronic health problems and adverse impacts on agricultural productivity, biodiversity, soil health, and groundwater. To address these issues, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) with environmentally friendly technologies have been widely advocated for health, food security, and the sustainability of production systems. The main objective of this research is to investigate the components of rice production process management with the adoption of GAP technologies. The statistical population of this study was rice farmers in Sari County (25590 individuals), among whom 170 cases were selected as the study sample. The data collection tool was a questionnaire, whose face and content validity were confirmed by experts. The reliability of the research tool was also examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficients. The data were analyzed using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis method and Smart PLS3 software. The results indicated that among the explanatory components of activities related to rice production process management with GAP, the post-harvest operations component (with a path coefficient of 0.912) had the highest explained variance. Following this component, the components of appropriate operations management before cultivation, harvesting, maintenance, and planting were prioritized. Supporting low-income farmers to conduct activities such as soil and water quality testing is a facilitating mechanism for increasing farmers' willingness to engage in preventive measures in farm management based on GAP. Additionally, implementing a cropping pattern system with zoning of rice-growing areas based on climatic conditions for early or late rice harvesting and promoting dryland rice cultivation for water and energy management are other recommendations of this study. Furthermore, increasing the use of appropriate extensional methods such as demonstration farms and farm schools to encourage farmer participation in the adoption of GAP and integrated pest management is suggested.
