operators’ behavioural intention towards synthesis pesticide purchase. Meanwhile, the routine
purchase is significantly but negatively affecting Malaysia farm operators’ behavioural

issue. Marketing practitioners from the agrochemical company would benefit from this result
to align their marketing strategy for their pesticide based on farm operators’ behavioural
