“…Specifically, farmer age negatively influenced the adoption of biopesticides by rice farmers, indicating that the older the rice farmers were, the lower the probability of adopting biopesticides. It is difficult to change the "habits" of older farmers in the short term due to their previous production experience (Huang et al, 2020;Bagheri et al, 2021). The direction of influence of education and household income is positive, indicating that highly educated and affluent rice farmers are more likely to adopt biopesticides (Yang et al, 2014).…”

“…They have excellent technical attributes, such as low toxicity, low residue, and environmental friendliness (Srinivasan et al, 2019). While chemical pesticides have helped increase agricultural productivity and eliminate human hunger, they also pose a serious threat in terms of polluting the environment and damaging human health (Gould et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2020). As the world's largest producer and consumer of pesticides, China has been paying increasing attention to the issue of green agricultural development in recent years.…”

“…Previous experience with a particular insecticide also influenced users’ choices. Repeatedly using well-known pesticides, however, may relax rigorous portioning habits which, in turn, may lead to insecticide overuse (Huang et al 2020). This fixed choice may also lead to brand fidelity, which, consequently, may prevent experimenting with alternative, more environmentally friendly, pesticides.…”

“…In terms of pesticide use time, type, and dosage, 35.26%, 30.10%, and 28.52% of the samples, respectively, relied on a decision based on "experience." These results will be helpful for reducing pesticides and correcting farmers' "bad habits" within agricultural ecosystems [12]. Overuse of pesticides from the application of crop protection products can cause damage to crop, ecosystems, and human health.…”
