Although the use of mobile learning system is increasing globally, its utilising among nigerian rice farmers for pesticide management is very low, due to usability issues, cost, perceived benefit, facilitating conditions, social issues, habit and trust. Therefore, there is still lack of understanding of the determinants that influence their behavioural intention to use it. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to examine the determinants of nigerian rice farmers behavioural intention (bi) to use smls on pesticide management, using a harmonized framework of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (utaut2) and the technology acceptance model 2 (tam2). Analysis was conducted on 356 cluster sampled survey using smartpls 4. The results revealed, social norm significantly influenced the bi to use smls, while farmer's image, output quality, results demonstrability, and job relevance significantly influenced the bi to use smls at the perceived usefulness level. Perceived ease of use also significantly influenced perceived usefulness. While trust has significant moderating effect on facilitating conditions, price value, perceived ease of use, habit and bi to use smls. The model explained 31% of the bi to use smls.
