The results showed that 1) the level of knowledge of farmers was in the high category, the level of attitude was in the medium class, and the skill level was in the medium category, 2) the productivity level of crystal guava is moderate with indicators of high production yield, medium capital, and low labor, 3) the behavior of farmers affects the productivity of crystal guava simultaneously.
