With the increasing social and economic problems caused by the increasingly prominent global warming, prominent countries in the world are aware of the importance of energy conservation, and identified specific emission reduction targets at the Copenhagen climate conference. China has proposed to drop40%-45%of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in2020than in2005, agriculture as the main source of greenhouse gas emissions, is an important way to achieve low-carbon agriculture, and in agricultural production farmland emissions of N2O emissions accounted for a very high proportion of business activities.The farmers as farmland nitrogen fertilizer application actors, their willingness of emission reduction will strongly affect agricultural emission reduction targets.This research is about the research of the influencing factors of the farmers to reduce the nitrogen fertilizer willingness. First of all, on the base of the summary of the literature research, build a theoretical framework of influencing factors for farmers to reduce the nitrogen fertilizer; Secondly, summarize the influencing factors for farmers to reduce the nitrogen fertilizer to design the questionnaire, select Liaozhong County and Fumeng Country in Liaoning Province, as a representative of the northeast rice and corn producing areas, and select six administrative villages and three townships in a country to conduct field research, received a totally effective sample of119rice growers and147valid samples of corn growers. Again, based on the field research data, take use of descriptive statistical methods to study fertilization on the current situation of farmers as well as the willingness of reducing the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. Finally, make the use of single-factor analysis of the discrete Logit Regression Analysis, to empirically analysis the factors to influence the willingness to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer.The results show that: the core factors that affect farmers willingness to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer are their own nitrogen fertilizer, farmers have participated in the formula fertilization by soil testing and training or not,farmers whether to adopt soil testing and fertilizer technology, application of organic fertilizer and Agricultural Technology risk attitudes. In addition, the educational level, the number of households engaged in agricultural labor and food commodity rate as control variables on farmers to reduce nitrogen fertilizer will also have a positive impact. Finally, the recommendations of the Agricultural Technology Extension Station, the demonstration effect of the surrounding farmers and government policies and subsidies also improve farmers to reduce nitrogen fertilizer amount will also have an impact.
