Aging,policy incentives and farmers' adoption behavior of water-saving irrigation technology
Water-saving irrigation technology is an important way to alleviate the dilemma of agricultural water use in semi-arid areas,adjust the structure of agricultural production and ensure food security.Based on 732 micro survey data of kiwifruit growers in Meixian County,this paper used Logistic and Tobit models to empirically analyze the impact of aging and policy incentives on farmers'adoption of water-saving irrigation technology.The results showed that:① Aging would have a significant inhibitory effect on the adop-tion behavior and degree of farmers'water-saving irrigation technology,while subsidy policy and technical service had a significant promoting effect on the adoption behavior and degree of farmers'water-saving irrigation technology.② The subsidy policy played a positive regulatory role in the aging of farmers'water-saving irrigation technology adoption behavior and adoption degree,while the technical service played a positive regulatory role in the aging of farmers'water-saving irrigation technology adoption behavior,and the regulatory role in the adoption degree was not significant.③The heterogeneity analysis showed that aging had a significant negative im-pact on the adoption behavior of modern water-saving technologies,but had no significant impact on the adoption behavior of traditional water-saving technologies.In view of the fact that policy incentives could alleviate the adverse effects of aging on the adoption of water-saving irrigation technology,the government should increase financial subsidy policy support,establish and improve the agricultural technology service system,and strengthen the"government+enterprise+farmer"tripartite cooperation to promote farmers to adopt wa-ter-saving irrigation technology.
