Abstract/Summary:
Since the implementation of the zero-growth action of agricultural chemical fertilizers in my country in 2015,by 2020,the application amount of agricultural chemical fertilizers in my country has decreased by about 12.81% compared with2015,and the reduction of chemical fertilizer application has achieved good results.However,in the reduction of chemical fertilizer application by farmers,there are still some problems,which affect the effect of chemical fertilizer reduction to a certain extent: the proportion of farmers reducing the amount of chemical fertilizer application is relatively low,and there are not only objective factors such as cultivated land fertility,but also grassroots farmers.The reduction of chemical fertilizer application is not understood and lacks a clear understanding;the proportion of using organic fertilizers to replace chemical fertilizers is low;subjective factors such as risk avoidance,etc.Farmers are the main body in agricultural production,and their willingness determines their behavior to a certain extent.Therefore,by studying the willingness of grass-roots farmers to reduce chemical fertilizer application and promoting the reduction of chemical fertilizer application,it has a very important role in agricultural health,green and sustainable development..Based on the investigation and research on the fertilizer application situation of farmers in Xindu District,Chengdu,this paper takes the willingness of farmers to reduce the amount of fertilizer application as the breakthrough point,and conducts an empirical analysis to determine whether farmers are willing to reduce fertilizer application in the process of agricultural production.It further enriches the research on farmers’ willingness to reduce chemical fertilizer application,and provides theoretical support for the government to formulate targeted policies according to local actual conditions to promote the reduction of chemical fertilizer application.The article firstly lays the theoretical cornerstone of this paper by reviewing and sorting out relevant documents at home and abroad;then,based on the results of the literature reading,sorting out ideas and constructing a technical route;then,designing a questionnaire to survey farmers in Xindu District,Chengdu.A visit survey was carried out;finally,the individual characteristics,family management characteristics,cognitive characteristics,risk awareness and willingness to reduce the application of chemical fertilizers in agricultural production were analyzed by means of empirical analysis through the collected questionnaire data.Various factors affecting farmers’ willingness to reduce fertilizer application in Xindu District,Chengdu were analyzed.The results of the study show that the amount of chemical fertilizer application is in a state of decline,and most farmers have reduced the amount of chemical fertilizer application in agricultural production,but the reduction is relatively small.Gender,age,education level,whether one’s own chemical fertilizer application is excessive,perception of the impact of chemical fertilizer on crop quality and groundwater,belief that reducing chemical fertilizer will reduce crop yield,and subjective evaluation of risk attitudes were regressed through binary logistic model.Finally,it is a significant independent variable,which has an impact on whether farmers are willing to reduce the application of chemical fertilizers.At the end of this study,combined with the requirements of the National Chemical Fertilizer Zero Growth Action,and according to the influencing factors of farmers’ willingness to reduce fertilizer application,the government should guide farmers to reduce fertilizer application from the following aspects: first,increase investment in rural education;second,strengthen fertilizer related Publicity of knowledge;third,giving economic subsidies to farmers;fourth,establishing an agricultural production insurance system;fifth,reforming the agricultural technology extension system in rural areas;sixth,vigorously promoting organic fertilizers to replace chemical fertilizers.
