Prospects Habitat Management to Control Pest Population on Annual Plant to Support Sustainable Agricultural Development in Indonesia

Abstract

Sustainable agricultural development has become a global imperative due to environmental degradation and the contemporary shortage of agricultural products. This necessitates further research, and the present study investigates the impact of habitat management on pest population control and its implications for sustainable agricultural development in Indonesia. Additionally, the study evaluates the moderating role of government support in the relationship between habitat management and pest population control. Data were collected through survey questionnaires administered to farmers. The study assessed data reliability and examined relationships between variables using Smart-PLS. The findings indicate that habitat management positively influences pest population control, which in turn has a positive impact on sustainable agricultural development in Indonesia. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that government support in the agricultural sector significantly moderates the relationship between habitat management and pest population control. The study offers valuable insights for policymakers in formulating strategies to enhance sustainable agricultural development through effective habitat management and pest control measures.
