This research aims to analyze the application of management techniques compost in Jambi Province and the factors that influence it. This research uses a survey method. The sampling technique was carried out in 3 (three) stages, namely, the first stage, selecting districts using the simple random sampling method. The second stage selects sub-districts, and the third stage selects villages with farmers or farmers who manage compost using simple random sampling. The application of management techniques compost is measured based on the percentage of application, which is further classified into three categories: low, medium, and high. The Structural Equation Modeling analysis model with Partial Least Square is used to analyze factors that influence the application of management techniques compost in Jambi Province. The research results showed that the average application of compost management techniques was 73%, which is in the medium category. Farmer characteristics and environmental support in the livestock sector directly influence applying compost management techniques in Jambi Province.
