On Tabel 2, its shows that there were five variables that significantly effect to the post adoption behaviour (p< α 0.05) viz. benefits of the SRI, ease of use the SRI, skills and knowledge and experience, entrepreneurship attitude, and social culture. However, the resources endowment variable was not significant. The effect of each variable is explained as follows : Benefits of the SRI variable was significantly effect to the post adoption behaviour (P < 0,05), which means that benefits of the SRI was a key factor associated with determine whether farmers decided continue or stop to SRI practice. The odds ratio for benefits of the SRI shows that farmers who perceived benefits of the SRI ware less likely to stop practicing of SRI than those who did not perceive benefits of the SRI. . It can be explained that the farmers who perceive benefit from adopting SRI were more likely to have the motivation to continue the SRI. This result was consistent with literature, Lambrecht et al. (2014) stated that an important element in the decision about continue use of a technology is whether farmers’ expectations are met or not. Even if realized returns are positive, if they are far below expected returns, farmers may be disappointed and abandon the technology. Ishak and Afrizon (2011), and Natawidjaja et al. (2008) reported that farmers in West Java Indonesia who continue to practice of SRI have a good perception of the SRI method in enhancing the rice yield productivity and income, although in the early stages of adoption decrease productivity and increase production costs. Similar result has also reported in Myanmar by Kabir (2006) that farmers who make their decision to use the SRI practice on their own field simultaneously believe that SRI to be the most effective to improve rice yield and consequently raises the economic benefits than conventional method Ease of use the SRI variable was significantly effect to the post adoption behaviour (P<0,05), which means that ease of use the SRI was a key factor associated with determine whether farmers decided continue or stop to SRI practice. The odd ratio for ease of use the SRI shows that farmers who perceive ease of use the SRI were less likely to stop practicing of SRI than those who did not perceive ease of use the SRI. This indicated that practicing the SRI may be associated with accustom of farmer in practicing of SRI. Farmer usually got difficulty at the beginning practicing of SRI but did not at the next. This is caused they have been accustomed for it. This result was consistent with literature, Natawidjaja et al. (2008) argued that SRI cultivation technique is not different from the conventional cultivation technique, the SRI given by input organic fertilizer since conventional such as chemical fertilizers. However, SRI perceive complicated by farmers just only at early stage practicing, its cause at the stage is not only need more attention and much of production cost, but also a lot of time. However, Moser and Barrett (2002) mentioned that most farmers have difficulty to practice of SRI because it requires significant extra labor inputs at a time of the year when liquidity to hire labor is low and the family labor effort is already. Similar, Natawidjaja et al. (2008) and Sugarda et al. (2008) who studied constraint practicing of SRI method in Indonesia, reported that the complicated technical is an obstacle to the sustainability adoption of SRI in Indonesia. Skills, knowledge and experience variable was significantly effect to post adoption behaviour (P<0,05). Which means that skills, knowledge and experience was a key factor associated with determine whether farmers decided continue or stop to SRI practice. The odd ratio for skills, knowledge and experience shows that farmers who perceive skills, knowledge and experience were less likely to stop practicing of SRI than those who did not perceive. It because of human capital endowments, usually captured by skill, knowledge and experience are the main factors treated in decisions of the farmers. Skill, knowledge and experience increased ability of farmers to obtain, process, and use information relevant to SRI, leading to continue practicing SRI. This result was supported by study made by Namara et al (2003) that access to training, formal education, and counseling program have a significant effect on the farmers’ decision to keep practicing SRI. Devi and Ponnarasi (2009) reported that lack of skilled labor, training on new technology and experience have been opining as the main problems in adoption of this technology by the farmers in Tamil Nadu. Thus, Uphoff and Kassam (2008) emphasized that farmers need a certain amount of skill and knowledge to practices SRI techniques successfully. Entrepreneurship attitude variable was significantly effect to post adoption behaviour (P<0,05), which means that entrepreneurship attitude was a key factor associated with determine whether farmers decided continue or stop to SRI practice. The odd ratio for entrepreneurship attitude shows that farmers who perceive willingness to take risks and self confidence were less likely to stop practicing of SRI than those who did not perceive. Because practicing the SRI was associated with high risk, it may be expected that relatively risk- averse and unconfident farmers were less likely to have the motivation to continue the SRI. This result was consistent with the literature, Barhama et al. (2013) argued that under framing of the adoption choice, risk-averse and ambiguity-averse farmers would be less likely to adopt new technologies. Thus, farmers choose the technology that provides the highest expected utility conditional on their aversion to risk. Similarly, Ishak and Afrizon (2011) studied factor affecting dis-adoption SRI in Indonesia, and they found that dis-adoption of SRI is caused by the high risk to be faced by farmer such as seeds moved into the field is still too young (age 8-15 days after seedling), and pest and disease threats to the plant that only one seed per planting hole. Moreover, Mappigau and Jusni (2012) stated that the farmers who have entrepreneurship characteristic such as willingness to take risks and self confidence would always be responsive to the new technology compared to whom that have not, and therefore, the farmers who have entrepreneurship attitude will continue to practice of the new technology. Moreover, Uphoff and Kassam (2008) stated that farmers needs perceiving willingness to take risks and confidence in practicing of SRI in order to reduce their abandonment. Resources endowment variable was not significantly effect to the post adoption behaviour (P > 0,05), which means that resources endowment was not a key factor associated with determine whether farmers decided continue or stop to SRI practice. The odd ratio for resources endowment shows that farmers who perceive resources endowment ware more likely to stop practicing of SRI than those who did not perceive. This may be attributed to the fact that the availability of resources required for the practicing of the SRI, which the small scale farmers were very depend on the government’ incentive and subsidies. Hence, the famers would stop practicing the SRI when the incentive and subsidies from the government was absence. This result supported by literature. Oladele (2005) mentioned that availability of input variable is related to the discontinuance of SRI adoption. Uker et al. (2013) argued that the adoption of SRI by small-scale farmers in Indonesia are more determined by the incentive and subsidies from the government rather than the advantages/advantages contained in SRI innovation itself. Social culture variable was significantly effect to post adoption behaviour (P<0,05), which means that social and culture was a key factor associated with determine whether farmers decided continue or stop to SRI practice. The odd ratio for social and culture shows that farmers who perceive social and culture support were less likely to stop practicing of SR than those who did not perceive. It can be explained that the farmers who expected that adopted the SRI would improve their social status and the SRI practice matched with the local custom. This result is supported by Burkey (1993) and Suparlan (1981) who stated that the reason many farmers not practice SRI is not only technical aspect but also social and culture aspects. Natawidjaja et al. (2010) studied the impact of the adoption of SRI in Indonesia, and they reported that social and cultural factors are very influential on the level of adoption of SRI in Indonesia. Because farmers are mostly accustomed to the way conventional agriculture, which have relatively high dependence on inputs and chemicals from the outside, so that the presence of innovative rice cultivation SRI is contrary to the habits of the majority of farmers, and therefore, anyone who developed it, it would have difficulties and may be opposed, either by family members, neighbors and the local village elite. It can be seen from the attitude of ridicule from family members and other farmers against farmers practicing SRI. The other socio-cultural issues in the post adoption of SRI was also come from consumers. In the perception of the consumers, organic products relatively expensive, physically unattractive and difficult to obtain. Partially consumers do not understand the dangers of pesticides or the presence of residue pesticides in food they consume, so in real terms has reduced the motivation of farmers to continuously practices of SRI
