Abstract:
Green pest and disease control technologies are important measures for reducing pesticide use and improving tobacco yield and quality. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 250 tobacco farmers from 19 counties in the Nanling Hilly Ecological Zone to investigate their adoption behavior regarding green pest and disease control technologies. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the influencing factors of adoption. The results indicated significant differences in adoption rates among technologies: physical control was adopted by 95.6% of farmers, while biological control using natural enemies was adopted by 82.4%. Planting area was negatively correlated with the adoption of both biological control and physical control (
p < 0.05), while age was negatively correlated with physical control adoption (
p < 0.1). Perceived control efficacy was positively correlated with the adoption of both technologies (
p < 0.01). Based on the above, three policy recommendations are proposed: enhancing awareness of control efficacy, conducting targeted outreach campaigns, and providing differentiated guidance based on farmer characteristics. These findings provide practical references for the formulation of green prevention and control policies.
