英文文献摘要:
Given the potential economic and environmental benefits from some precision agriculture practices, dissemination of precision farming information as an alternative production management strategy is important. The needs of farmers for precision farming information have been met by various suppliers, including private and public sources. Factors affecting the use of different information sources to obtained precision farming information such as crop consultants, farm dealers, trade shows, Extension, and media are analyzed using a multivariate probit approach that accounts for simultaneous and/or correlation among the different information-source use decisions. Empirical findings suggest that the decision to use private, Extension, and/or Media information sources are correlated. Some factors significantly affecting the use of the information sources analyzed are age, education, and income.
鉴于某些精准农业实践可能带来的经济和环境效益,传播精准农业信息作为一种替代的生产管理策略是重要的。包括私人和公共来源在内的各种供应商满足了农民对精确农业信息的需要。使用多元probit方法分析了影响使用不同信息源获取精准农业信息的因素,如作物顾问、农场经销商、贸易展览、推广和媒体,该方法考虑了不同信息源使用决策之间的同步和/或相关性。实证结果表明,使用私人、扩展和/或媒体信息源的决定是相关的。年龄、教育程度和收入是影响信息来源使用的重要因素。
