Sažetak
Under the uncertainty of conservation tillage on output, technology
demonstration, as an information disclosure mechanism, is very worthy
of attention for its effects on rural households’ conservation tillage
adoption. This study constructs a three-stage technology
adoption model to discuss the theoretical relationship between technology
demonstration and rural households’ conservation tillage
adoption decision, and then empirical analyzed it using a sampling
rural household data from six provinces in the main grain-producing
areas of China. The results show that: First, the cognition of conservation
tillage is the pre-determined stage for the adoption and its
intensity. Second, technology demonstration has significant positive
effect on rural households’ cognition of conservation tillage, but it
strongly negative related to the adoption and adoption intensity.
Third, extending the technology demonstration time cannot change
the rural households’ adoption decision. Fourth, the technological
demonstration has similar effects on the conservation tillage adoption
of small-scale and large-scale farmers. Fifth, increasing land size
helps rural households to adopt conservation tillage, while land fragmentation
hinders their adoption.
