Última Technology Adoption And Pest Control Strategies Among UK Cereal Farmers: Evidence from Parametric and Nonparametric Count Data Models AgEcon Sharma, Abhijit; Bailey, Alastair; Fraser, Iain. This paper examines technology adoption and integrated pest management strategies employed by UK farmers, using both parametric and nonparametric methods. We employ a unique survey data set collected from UK cereal farmers to assess the determinants of technology adoption in relation to pest management. Our preferred model specification is nonparametric which makes use of the recently developed methods of Li and Racine (2007) and Racine and Li (2004). These methods allow us to combine categorical and continuous data and thereby avoid sample splitting and resulting efficiency losses. Our analysis reveals that total area farmed is positively related to the number of technologies adopted, whereas age is negatively related. We also find evidence of...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/51335 Multiple Adoption of Pest Management Technologies in UK cereal Farming AgEcon Fraser, Iain; Sharma, Abhijit; Bailey, Alastair. In this paper we consider the adoption of pest management technologies by farmers in UK cereal crop systems. While for the majority of UK farmers chemical control of pest outbreaks remains important, there are a range of non-chemical approaches and management practices that can be used to control pest populations. However, few of these alternatives produce levels of control that compare with chemical use in isolation. In this paper we consider the determinants of adoption of different combinations of individual pest management technologies. Based on survey data we first construct sets of pest management technologies before modelling the decision problem as a multiple adoption process to examine variation in the adoption of these technology sets.
