“…Although no reliable data are available on the use of human excreta and organic fertilizer in these three provinces, we do not expect the usage to be any different from that reported recently for Shaanxi province ( Wang et al, 2018 ). It has been predicted that, through manure recycling, by 2050 China's demand for synthetic N fertilizer could be reduced by about one-third (about 10 Mt), which is equivalent to 10% of current global fertilizer N consumption ( Zhang et al, 2020 ). However, achieving this will be difficult because of farmers' negative attitudes to manure use ( Zhang et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In this study, the density difference caused by farmer decision-making was clarified. In addition, given that the theory of planned behavior can provide a theoretical basis for explaining the decision-making process of individual behaviors [34], it was included in this study to further analyze the main factors that affect the decision-making of the density of smallholders (Figure 5). The SEM was used to quantify the direct and potential relationships between different density loss paths (Figure 6).…”

“…In practice, affected by many factors such as conservative concepts of farmers, the risks associated with technology, the social and economic factors and the acquisition and utilization of resources [34,37], there is a big gap between farmer willingness towards sowing density and the optimal sowing density recommended by agronomists. In the present study, the decision-making of farmers directly led to a 15.5% sowing density difference.…”

“…Applying organic fertilizer may introduce weeds and pests (Zhang et al, 2020), resulting in volatile yield (Khaliq et al, 2006;Moe et al, 2019). The benefits of combining synthetic and organic fertilizers, such as the increased organic carbon content in the soil which increases crop yields in the long run (Dick & Gregorich, 2004), may be unclear and considered as uncertain by a farmer.…”
