Meanwhile, the routine purchase is significantly but negatively affecting Malaysia farm operators’ behavioural intention towards synthesis pesticide purchase. However, the trust did not serve any moderating effect between independent variables and the dependent variable. The result of this study allows authorities such as the Department of Agriculture and the Pesticide Board of Malaysia to have better clarity in strategised their resources to counter the illegal pesticide issue.
