| The agriculture in China is still at the primary stage in the transformation from labor-and resource-intensive traditional agriculture to modern agriculture science and technology intensive. Growth of traditional agricultural is at the expense of resource consumption, especially land and human resources, consumption of fossil energy is increasing with the large-scale use of large agricultural machinery. Human resources consumption which have hampered the transformation from agricultural labor to non-agricultural industrial, limit the process of urbanization for a long time. So it’s necessary to raise the farmer’s science and technology quality to increase farmers’decision ability on technological behaviors and liberation part of agricultural labor.Farmers have joined in the wave of market economy since household contract responsibility system was carried out in China. Urban-rural integration in new countryside construction pushes farmers to ahead of the times. Income growth of farmers has been the primary task in the new rural construction. Agricultural industry in China based on the small family is different from which is in developed countries based on the mechanization. It’s developing with small family production and incompletion mechanization, so low labor productivity and technology acceptance are much limited for modern agricultural development. With continuous growth of requirement of agricultural technology, farmers are currently stepping in the market economy progressively.The paper was aimed to find the use and demand of agricultural technology through farmers. The paper is based on the empirical research simultaneously in combination with the theoretical analysis. Farmers’ technological behaviors and influence factors are analyzed by using certain methods such as economics, econometrics, statistics sampling, which are based mainly on a large number of data on-the-spot investigation.Conclusions can be summarized as follows:The relationship between the using of agricultural technology and income, agricultural acreage, education is positively related. So certain measure which including increase income and educational level is good for the adopting of agricultural technology. Furthermore, it can raise the percent conversion of agricultural science and technology achievements and the contribution rate of technology to agriculture in China.In this paper, the technology cost, income level and technology risk were envisioned as much more important factors. In another word, technology is the most influential one. It’s much more difficult to let farmers accept it if the risk and difficulty level is higher. Economic factors play the key role in the using of new technology by farmers and economic benefit is the main power to promote the using of technology. |
