Exploring Mediating Factors between Agricultural Training and Farmers’ Adoption of Drip Fertigation System: Evidence from Banana Farmers in China

(1) Background: Rare empirical evidence has been explored concerning the ways in which training affects farmers’ adoption of resource conservation technology agricultural production. This study attempts to analyze role three factors, including absorptive capacity, social interaction and active learning, bridging drip fertigation system (DFS), based on primary data 632 banana farmers collected China. (2) Methods: A mediation model is used estimate learning relationship between DFS. treatment effect (TEM) employed address potential endogeneity problem. (3) Results: The results show that significantly increased DFS cultivation. mediating factors appears statistically significant. Specifically, contributes encouraging their by around 60 percent; capacity contribute about 30 10 percent, respectively. also find can increase rate 18.75 percent after problem addressed using (TEM). (4) Conclusions: findings suggest promote through improving learning. Understating these will enable extension agency design effective programs better resource-conservation technologies developing countries.
