Study On Agricultural Technology Extension System Based On Choices Of Faemers' Production Technology

The extension and application of modern science technology has become the determining factor of agricultural development. Transforming from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture must depend on the advanced technology. From the international experience, support of agricultural science and technology has already become one of important non-price agriculture protection tools. Most countries take the support of the application of the agricultural technology as the government agricultural important means. Because of the difficult quantification of extension work, the China government has carried on a series of reforms to the agricultural technology extension in order to relieve the financial pressure. China agricultural technology extension faces "broken line, broken net, dispersing human". The invalid work of agricultural technology extension causes that the quite great proportion of scientific and technical achievements can't be applied on large-scale every year. Therefore, perfecting agricultural technology extension mechanism and improving technical service means and efficiency will be greatly significant to raise the technical achievement conversion rate and our country agriculture international competitiveness.The economic development level enhances gradually from north to south of Jiangsu Province. The status of wheat production in family economy reduces while the area economic development level improves. Study the situation of farmer's accepting the wheat production technical in different area of Jiangsu Province may extend farmers' technology demand under the different economic development level. At the same time, this study will see about the technology extension service over the carrying out of "the technical residence project". Through studying farmer's technical demand as well as the influence factors such as agriculture technology extension activities on the farmer's technology acceptance, it will provide practical significance policy-making basis for the agricultural technology services extension reform and perfecting. Based on the above analysis, the research obtains the first data and the related statistical data with the farmers' questionnaire investigation. In view of 2006～2007 year farmer's wheat production behavior of Jiangsu Province, describing farmer's concrete technical application measure with the cruising data, contrastively analyzing situation of farmer's technology application of different areas and the situation of the fugleman' and non-fugleman' technology application, we may provide the countermeasure reference for raising the technical service efficiency. The analysis of sample indicates that the small scale and the decentralized model of farmer put forward diverse request on the technology demand. The planting benefit is still the most important factor which affects whether farmers accept new technology. The difference on the behavior of technology application of farmers of different areas or the difference types is not remarkable. As a kind of production technology which has been extended for many years, the farmers' technology application level is not very high. The technology extension service efficiency needs to be urgently enhanced.The farmer's demand of science and technology immediately influences the direction and effect of agriculture science and technology extension application. The result of the study on the peasant household demand wishes suggests that the farmers' most technology demands are the new breed, the prevention and cure of plant disease including the insect pest or grass harm, the sowing seeds technology and the fertilization technology. The agriculture technology extension organization which is such an organization that farmers mostly hope to provide the technical service. The academies of agricultural sciences or the agricultural universities and the enterprises are also one of the main bodies of agricultural technology extension. So we think that the government should meet farmer's technical need, enhance the farmer's enthusiasm to use new technology, strengthen the ability of agricultural technology extension service and take flexible means of service. The government should provide effective technology service betimes through exerting the leading function fully of advanced farmers and applying various channels and means. At the same time, agriculture technology extension organization should harmonize the relationship between free technology service and material providing which is not free. And it should ensure the function of public welfare fulfilled normally while enhancing the function of management.Regarding the farmer urgent need of breed technology, semination technology and fertilization technology, we can get the following results by utilizing the econometric model analysis.①When the farmers choose the breed, they mainly depend on their own judge, and adjust the breed type promptly according to the actual production.②The farmers' different understandings of the technology affect the new technology adoption.③The technical training and the contact with agricultural technology personnel influences the farmers' acceptance of agriculture technology. However, different ways affect different technology differently.The farmer enjoys the full independence in the agricultural production, but because of limitation on their own knowledge level and other aspects, and their weak innovation ability, so they still need the support of agriculture department, particularly the academy of agricultural sciences and the technology extension. The implementation of the "Technology Residence Project" increases the time that the technician may apply to instruct farmers, which to some extent intensify the ability of agriculture technology extension department. As a result, technology extension depends on the technology character and farmers' understanding of the technology. Meanwhile, adopting reasonable ways to extend and enhancing the communication between technician and farmers can solve the problems in practical production in order to get it beneficial for farmers applying new technology.The result of the production function indicates: wheat production exists remarkable regional difference and the chemical fertilizer is the primary material investment which affects the output of wheat production most. The fugleman obtains more output through accepting more technologies. The two key technologies can promote production significantly. Though the economic status of food production, especially the wheat production, has already dropped among the farmers, the suitable technical guidance will increase the efficiency of product factors, by adopting the key technologies.Based on above research, the research pointed out that the farmer's resources talent condition presented a new challenge to the technology extension service. The farmer has strong technical demand, but the technology application level is not very high, the efficiency of technology extension service urgently needs to be enhanced. The choice behavior of farmer's technology is influenced by various factors, needing to select the different extension service method according to the different technical type. The production investment influences output, the acceptance of technology can obviously promote the output. In order to improve the technical service level, raises the technical service efficiency, the research proposed the following policy meaning. First, adopt flexible training ways to train farmers of different areas and different types. Second, perfect the existing agricultural technology extension network, prominent agricultural technology extension public welfare function. Through improving the ability of agricultural technology extension workers, establish a high qualified troop which can come to the frontline of agriculture in order to supply some concrete service for the farmers. Third, the government should create favorable circumstance for scientific research units, farmer cooperation organization of junior colleges and agriculture industrialization leading enterprises by policy support and construct a new multiplex development agricultural technology extension system.
