Research on Factors Influencing Fertilizer Application of Farmer Households in Anhui Province

Known as the " food of grain",chemical fertilizer plays a very important role in increasing the output of agricultural products. In the meantime,its negative externalities such as soil and water environment pollutions as well as the quality and safety hazards caused to agricultural products have been revealed gradually. Taking 126 farmer households in 5 counties( districts) of Anhui Province as samples,the fertilizer application behaviors of farmer households are analyzed. Research shows that farmers applying fertilizer are generally older in age with relatively lower degree of education,inveterate farming habits and small area of cultivation. Besides,the farmer households wish to receive training and guidance on techniques of fertilization,but very few of them have attended the trainings on agricultural technology. Moreover,the individual characteristics and family factors of farmer households have a significant impact on their fertilizer application behaviors. And the degrees of impact are also different for the fertilizer applying behaviors in different stages. Therefore,improving the educational level of farmer households,strengthening the training and promotion of agricultural techniques and accelerating land transfer among farmer households will play a fundamental role in regularizing the fertilizer application behaviors of farmer households and improving the quality and safety of agricultural products.

农产品安全视角下农户化肥施用决策研究

化肥是农产品生产的必要投入要素之一,在促进农产品生产数量的同时,污染土壤环境、水环境以及危害农产品的品质安全等负外部效应也逐渐彰显。以安徽省5个县(区)的126个农户为样本,对农户的化肥施用行为进行分析。结果表明,施肥农户农民年龄偏大、受教育程度偏低、耕作习惯固化、家庭种植规模小等现象普遍,此外,农户希望得到施肥技术等培训指导,但真正参加过农技培训的农户却很少。同时,农户的个人特征和家庭特征因素对农户的化肥施用行为有显著影响,且对施肥的不同阶段的行为,其影响的显著程度不同。因此,提高农户的文化教育水平,加强农业技术培训和推广,加快农户间土地流转,对规范农户化肥施用行为,进而改善农产品质量安全水平具有基础性的作用。

农户农药使用行为特征及规范化建议——基于东部6省调研数据

为规范引导农户合理施药行为,降低农药安全风险,提高农产品质量安全,以中国东部6省21个村496户调研数据为例,分析农户在农业生产过程中农药使用行为特征及其存在的问题。调查发现,高毒甚至禁用农药在国内部分地区仍普遍使用,且农药使用行为存在不合理现象,农户在农药使用过程中,更加关注施用效果以及农药价格成本,而很少关注环境影响及农产品质量安全。因此,提出加速农药产品升级、加强培训指导以及规范农药生产管理措施等方面的建议。
