dc.description.abstractThe paper discusses social dynamics and institutional processes in innovation system domains involving biological fertilizer approved for commercial use in the Philippines, the barriers that constrain biofertilizer adoption, and recommendations to enhance adoption of agricultural innovations. Findings show some of the factors that constrain the transition to organic fertilizer adoption: farmers’ lack of awareness on the efficacy of bio-fertilizer compared to imported inorganic fertilizer; lack of knowledge and skills about its correct application; inherent resistance to innovation; the limited capacity of entrepreneurs to mount massive marketing and their inability to compete with established fertilizer industries.en
