| Fertilizer is one of the necessary elements for agricultural production, increases the supply of agricultural
products, while the external negative effects like soil pollution, water pollution and endangering the quality and safety of
agricultural product have gradually demonstrated at the same time. The paper took 126 farmers of 5 counties in Anhui province
for sample, and analyzed farmers' behavior of fertilizer application. The results showed that farmers who fertilized had old age,
low level of education, curing farming habits, small scale of plant. In addition, farmers wanted to get fertilization technology
training and guidance, but the agricultural training was rare. Meanwhile, farmers' personal characteristics and family
characteristics had significant impact on farmers' fertilizer behavior, and the impact degree was significantly different on different
stages of fertilization behavior. Therefore, improving the educational level of farmers, strengthening the agricultural technical
training and promotion, accelerating land circulation play fundamental role in regulating farmers' fertilizer application behavior
and improving the quality and safety of agricultural products |
