How Is It Effective for Farmers to Adopt Fertilizer Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement Technology: From the Perspective of Configuration Analysis

Abstract

Abstract: Farmers adopting fertilizer reduction and efficiency enhancement technology is an important way to effectively curb agricultural non-point source pollution and accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of agriculture. Based on the data of in-depth interviews with 438 small farmers, this paper employs the method of Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to construct a psychological perception (farmers’ cognition and participation willingness) - external context (organizational connection and government regulation) - behavior effect model,in order to reveal the conditional configuration and multiple paths of psychological perception and external contextual factors affecting small farmers’ adoption of that technology. The results show that a single behavior-decision factor is not a necessary condition to drive farmers to effectively adopt that technology, while the interaction of multiple decision-making factors form three conditional configurations can improve farmers’ behavior effect, which can be summarized as the participation willingness-oriented mode, the internal and external joint restraint mode, and the external situation-oriented mode.

Key words: fertilizer reduction and efficiency enhancement technology, configuration analysis, behavior effects
