The overall coordination of economic society and sustainable development is the common goal of social progress.Sustainable agricultural development is the prerequisite and basis to achieve sustainable social development. Traditional agricultural production technology is not only stay a low degree of industrialization but also has brought a lot pollution and destroyed the original ecological environment for China's agriculture.Many sustainable agricultural technologies which can achieve economic development and coordinate with population, resources and environment can't be understood and used by farmers.In this paper we want to find the suitable status to promote the sustainable agricultural technologies by carry out the surveys of farmers to this current situation.In this paper, by compared the agriculture gap between the reality and the different research directions with Western developed countries and China's.We know the main influencing factors to farmers adopt agricultural technologies and the main reasons which constraint China's agricultural development. Relatively, the sustainable agriculture had beginning late in China. The transformation of scientific and technological achievements was very low in agriculture, and is difficult to carry out large-scale and industrialized production.The four town of Xiao Chengzi, Er Niu, Zhang Qiang, Guan Dongtun in the low-yielding transformation demonstration project in Shenyang are as the example.Random two villages from each of the town and 10 farmers in each village.We ask farmers in the survey to households by investigate the wishes to use the Integrated Pest Management(IPM) which is a model of the sustainable agricultural techniques.From the survey, we master the popularity of sustainable agriculture technologies in low-yielding fields of the demonstration zone in China, understanding of farmers'will to adopt the sustainable agricultural techniques and Analysis the main factors which influence the farmers adopt the sustainable agricultural techniques.The survey includes three aspects of personal characteristics, family characteristics and technical features.The results show in the paper:There is a certain degree of gap on the farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural technologies between different urban which has relations to some extent with the road traffic conditions in different regions and the distance far away from urban areas.There has the different results for different farmers'will in the same cities and towns to adopt sustainable agricultural technologies.The main factors to effect the will include the personal factors just like gender, age, level of education and others, the average land area of farmers, the annual income, the situation to receive technical training in agriculture, the situation to use the agricultural technology and so on.As a result, if we want to promote sustainable agricultural techniques, we should continuously improve the farmers'scientific and cultural quality, develop the sustainable agricultural technologies, draw up the standardized system of agricultural extension.We can adopt different promotion methods for the different farmers in the different regions, and approach to understand the farmers'true wishes to relize the sustainable development of agriculture.
