Abstract

Water scarcity is becoming more acute, necessitating better understanding of farmer adoption of improved irrigation technologies. Using data from the national 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, this study employs a multilevel modeling approach to analyze irrigation decisions. The variation in pressure irrigation adoption is mainly accounted for by state-level factors, while adoption of scientific scheduling practices is more associated with farm-level factors. Adoption increases with larger acreage, groundwater use, information sources other than neighbors, and recent higher temperatures. Adoption is negatively associated with on-farm surface water and barriers related to increased costs, management time, and time horizon.

美国农民采用压力灌溉系统和科学灌溉计划实践:多层次模型的应用
水资源短缺正变得越来越严重,因此有必要更好地了解农民采用改良灌溉技术的情况。利用2013年全国农场和牧场灌溉调查数据,本研究采用多层次建模方法来分析灌溉决策。压力灌溉采用率的变化主要受国家层面因素的影响,而科学调度措施的采用率则更多地与农田层面因素相关。随着种植面积的扩大、地下水的使用、周边地区以外的信息来源以及近期气温的升高,采用率也在增加。采用与农场地表水和成本增加、管理时间和时间范围相关的障碍负相关。
