Substitution or complementarity: why do rice farmers use a mix of biopesticides and chemical pesticides in China?

Yanzhong Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the prevalence of Chinese rice farmers' mixed use of biopesticides and chemical pesticides. It found that 59.18% of the sample rice farmers used a combination of both types of pesticides. Farmers justify this approach in order to ensure food safety and reduce costs, but it does not significantly increase rice yield or output value.

Factors That Influence On-Farm Decision-Making: Evidence from Weed Management

Raymond A. Jr Jr Jussaume et al.

Summary: Research indicates that farm decision-making is a complex process influenced by multiple factors. While early studies focused on individual characteristics of farmers, current research considers various factors affecting different types of farm decision-making, such as best management practices and integrated weed management.

Communicating carabids: Engaging farmers to encourage uptake of integrated pest management

Kelly Jowett et al.

Summary: This study explores pathways to improved natural enemy pest control (NPC) by engaging farmers and increasing knowledge about farm management practices beneficial to carabid beetles. The results show that awareness of carabid predation is associated with beliefs of pest and weed control efficacy. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) has a significant impact on farmer behavior, with the implementation of farm management practices higher when farmers perceive them to be important and easy to implement. Field margins/buffer strips and beetle banks are the most favored interventions for carabids by farmers.

Farmers' behavior towards safe pesticide handling: An analysis with the theory of planned behavior

Asghar Bagheri et al.

Summary: Improper handling of pesticides by farmers in Ardabil Province, Iran poses significant risks to the environment and human health. By applying the theory of planned behavior, it was found that farmers' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control all play a crucial role in shaping their intention and behavior towards safe pesticide use. The study showed that attitudes towards safe pesticide use had the highest mean score, while intention to use pesticides safely showed the lowest mean score among farmers. Attitudes and perceived behavioral control had a significant impact on intention, while subjective norms did not. Overall, these three constructs explained a high percentage of the variance in farmers' intention towards safe pesticide use.

Farmers' intention to reduce pesticide use: the role of perceived risk of loss in the model of the planned behavior theory

Christos A. Damalas

Summary: This study used the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and perceived risk of loss to investigate farmers' intention to reduce pesticide use, finding that most farmers did not show intention to reduce pesticide use. High perceived risk of loss and poor control of pesticide reduction were identified as the main drivers of farmers' intention to reduce pesticide use.

Farmers' behavior in reading and using risk information displayed on pesticide labels: a test with the theory of planned behavior

Asghar Bagheri et al.

Summary: The study found that farmers rarely read pesticide labels due to reasons such as low education, advanced age, and problems with the labels. Subjective norms and perceived behavioral control had a significant impact on farmers' intention, while attitudes did not. Further research showed that perceived behavioral control and intention significantly affected farmers' actual behavior, explaining 78.5% of the variance in farmers' behavior.
