Information Acquisition,Farmer Differentiation,and Adoption of Conservation Tillage Techniques
Promoting farmers to adopt conservation tillage techniques is crucial for ensuring food security and achieving sustainable agricultural development.Based on 1 742 micro data from 24 counties in Jiangxi Province,using ordered Probit and moderation ef-fect model,this article explored the impact of information acquisition and farmer differentiation on farmers'adoption of conserva-tion tillage techniques.The results are as follows.First,the farmers'overall adoption level of techniques by is relatively low.Sec-ond,information acquisition significantly enhances the farmers'adoption of conservation tillage techniques,and has a significant positive impact on the adoption of the other three techniques except for straw returning.farmer differentiation has a negative impact on the adoption of techniques.Third,the differentiation of farmers plays a significant positive moderating role in the impact of infor-mation acquisition on the adoption of farmers.Fourthly,further heterogeneity analysis shows that there are differences in the degree of adoption of conservation tillage techniques among farmers of different planting scales.Based on this,it is proposed to comprehen-sively utilize multiple information acquisition channels to enhance farmers'ecological awareness;promote the conservation tillage techniques and implement policies tailored to local conditions;take consideration of farmers'heterogeneity and give full play to promotion and exemplification.
