规模经营是否有利于农户化肥减量施用?

Does scale operation reduce farmers' fertilizer application?

  • 摘要: 农业面源污染防控是推进农业农村绿色发展的内在要求。目前,我国农业主要依靠资源消耗的粗放经营方式并未根本改变,如何引导小农户步入绿色发展轨道是当务之急。本文基于江苏省小麦种植户调查数据,评估了不同规模经营模式的化肥减量化效应。结果发现,土地规模经营与化肥施用强度之间呈U型关系,表明土地适度集中更有利于促进农户化肥减量施用;若土地超过适度规模,农户反而会多施化肥以规避规模效益下降和劳动力成本上升风险。研究还发现,社会化服务能够降低农户技术采纳成本,缓解农户对农资采购质量和作物减产的担忧,从而实现化肥投入减量化的目的。在所有规模经营模式中,土地集中连片经营的化肥投入减量化效应最为显著,且与社会化服务之间具有强烈的协同效应。因此,为了促进化肥投入减量化,政府应鼓励发展适度规模经营,推进高标准农田建设,加大对绿色社会化服务供应的直接补贴,完善对社会化服务组织的考评和问责机制,降低农户购买绿色服务顾虑。

     

    Abstract: Preventing and controlling agricultural pollution from non-point sources is a critical element to speed up thegreen development of agriculture. Currently, the mode of China's agriculture, which mainly depends on resource input, has not fundamentally changed. How to bring small agricultural households in line with the green development is a keyissue. Based on a survey data of wheat growers in Jiangsu Province, the paper evaluated the fertilizer-reduction effect ofdifferent scale agricultural operations. Results show that there is U-shape relationship between land-scale operation andfertilizer application intensity, meaning that only moderate land scale operation can drive farmers to reduce chemicalfertilizer application. If the land area is further expanded, the scale benefit will decline, and the cost of employment willincrease. Therefore, rational farmers will apply more chemical fertilizer to avoid these risks. The fertilizer intensity offarmers who buy green socialized services is lower than that of farmers who do not buy. The reason is that socializedservices can reduce technical costs and alleviate farmers' concerns about quality assessment and crop yield reduction. Inaddition, this paper also found that the reduction effect of land concentration is the most obvious and has a significantsynergistic effect with socialized services. Based on the above results, this paper suggests that the governmentshould avoid equating the concentration of land transfer with scale agricultural operations, focus on moderate landscale operation and high-standard farmland constructing, and provide convenience for the deepening of specialized agricultural services. At the same time, the government should also increase direct subsidies for the agents who providegreen specialized services, improve the evaluation and accountability mechanism for specialized organizations, andreduce farmers' negative concerns about technology adopting.
