dc.description.abstractA bio-pesticide is a biological substance or organism that damages, kills or repels pests. They are obtained from organisms including plants, bacteria and other microbes, fungi, nematodes, etc. Total 120 coconut farmers were selected from Gir somnath and Junagadh districts using multistage sampling technique. Arbitary method of classification was used to measure awareness and adoption, Multiple linear regression for identifying the factors influencing purchase decision of bio-pesticides, Chi-square test to study the various parameters affecting the satisfaction level and Garret ranking to identify the constraints faced by farmers in use of bio-pesticides. The cost of cultivation for non-users (₹ 96798.7) was higher than Hopewell users (₹ 84326.5). The benefit cost ratio for users (1.63:1) was higher than Hopewell non-users (1.44:1). Around 67.92 per cent of farmers had high to medium awareness of Hopewell, while 35.85 per cent had adopted its application and around 79.11 per cent of farmers had high to medium awareness of other bio-pesticides. Cropping area, size of package, quality of product and result of product are positively significant to influenced adoption. Factors such as price, quality, packaging size, results of product, availability and yield influenced farmer’s satisfaction. The main constraints in use of bio-pesticide were perception that chemical pesticides are more effective, lack of usage by fellow farmers and higher prices of bio-pesticides
