Then estimate the factors affecting parameter of peasant household in agriculture technology adoption willingness and behavior by using the SPSS statistical software for Windows of Binary Logit Model (Binary logic function Model) and the Multiple Logit Model (multivariate logical function Model), and reveals the factors of the influence degree of peasant household in agriculture technology adoption willingness and behavior.The research shows that under the background of large rural labor migration, peasant household in agriculture technology adoption intend to abate. Farmers agricultural technological adoption of will and behavior by farmer's age, educational level, arable land, number of family labor migration, number of farm household income and non-agricultural income proportion factors. Among them, the farmer's arable land factors influencing degree maximum, the study found that:the area of cultivated land big farmers than cultivated area small farmers by technical probability is big; cultural high leels of the high probability of the peasant household adopting technology; the higher proportion of non-agricultural income of farmers by agricultural technology intend weaker.Labor migration whether would induce farmers seek and use the substitution labor technology depend on the cultivated lands operation scale after labor migration. The bigger the cultivated lands, labor migration will induce households seek and use the substutition labor technology, the smaller the cultivated lands scale, the labor migration will not induced by the farmers labor-saving technology.
