Factors Influencing the Adoption of Insect Management Technology
用逻辑回归分析德州稻农调查数据，发现邻近牧场比例、半矮秆品种种植比例和参加田间活动日显著影响稻农采用捕虫网和防治阈值，且采用该技术使喷药概率增加11.3%。
Abstract Logit analyses are used in evaluating survey data concerning rice stink bug [ Oebalus pugnax (Fabricius)] management by Texas rice producers. Effects of rice production attributes on the adoption of insect sweep nets in conjunction with treatment thresholds, and the spraying of insecticides for the management of the rice stink bug, are investigated. The proportion of neighboring land use in pasture, the proportion of rice acreage planted to semidwarf varieties, and producers' attendance at specific field days significantly affect the probability of adopting sweep nets and treatment thresholds. Adoption of sweep nets and treatment thresholds increase the probability of spraying by 11.3%.
