The purpose of this study were to investigate general characteristic of society and economy, life style, and the model of production, especially knowledge and attitude towards the utilization of fertilizer of farmers in Klong 14 Village, Nongjork District, Bangkok.
	This study was a qualitative research. The instruments used in collecting data were participant observation, in-depth interview, and group discussion. The sample consisted of 10 farmers, selected by purposive sampling. These farmers lived in Klong 14 Village, Nongjork District, Bangkok and rice farming was their major occupation for at least 15 years. Apart from that, these formers had some experiences in using organic fertilizer for at least one year.
	The results of the study were as follows : 
	The average income of farmers in Klong 14 Village, Nongjork District, Bangkok, was lower than 15,500 Baht.  Some farmers had their own lands and some of them rented the lands of Royal Properties which offered low renting fee.  In the social aspect, most villagers had close relationship with each other because the headman of the village always organized social activities in which villagers actively participated. Accordingly, farmers helped each other in doing their jobs. Because of this, they could decrease their cost since they did not have to hire so many laborers to work on their farms.  In the aspect of model of production, farmers in Klong 14 Village mostly utilized the process of organic farming. However, they also utilized agricultural innovation such as the rice grain of the Department of Agriculture which had been so developed that could significantly increase the farmers productivity. Apart from that, they also used modern agricultural equipments. Farmers in Klong 14 Village also applied mix methodology between using chemical substances and organic agriculture for the purpose of decreasing cost and soil preservation.  In the aspect of fertilizer, farmers in Klong 14 Village used organic fertilizer i.e. the fertilizer which occurred from the fermentation of rice stubbles after the harvest season. Apart from that, they used biological liquid fertilizer mixed with fermented water during soil preparing. Moreover, villagers mixed the fertilizer with the compact organic fertilizer and compact chemical organic fertilizer, since the fertilizers were convenient for using with the fertilizer sowing machine. The farmers motivation in doing this came from their belief that using mixed fertilizer between the organic fertilizer and the chemical fertilizer would increase more productivity than solely using chemical fertilizer. For this reason, the researcher concluded that the farmers had got knowledge and understanding including good attitude towards using organic fertilizer at a certain level. Consequently, most farmers expected that the government would support them in the aspect of knowledge and develop organic fertilizer until it could have the same characteristic with chemical fertilizer in increasing rice productivity. Therefore, government agencies should turn the critical point of expensive chemical fertilizer nowadays into opportunity for farmers by urging them to use more organic fertilizer, including educating them about how to test the quality of organic fertilizer for the purpose of the prevention of disqualified organic fertilizer and increasing more confidence among farmers in using organic fertilizer.
