Undergraduate Students Attitudes toward Biotechnology Crop

Abstract

Crop biotechnology is not yet entirely accepted by all of the countries, even though biotechnology can give a lot of benefits in production. This research aims to explain undergraduate students attitudes toward crop biotechnology and to analyse factors affecting their attitudes toward crop biotechnology. This research is carried out at the University of Jember campus with a disproportionate random sampling of 80 respondents consisting of 40 students from the Faculty of Agriculture and 40 students from other faculties. The data analysis technique is logistic regression. The result of this research showed that most of the undergraduate students (61,25%) are agree toward biotechnology crops. While factors that affected their attitudes toward biotechnology crops are information, sex, and knowledge.
