“…In the past few decades, different soil management practices have been evaluated with the goal of mitigating soil erosion, not only because of the repercussions of a decrease in profitability, but also in order to improve ecosystem services. Management practices such as: rainwater catchment and soil moisture retention systems (Cruz-Martínez et al, 2016); use of water retaining agents and pasture restoration (Yáñez-Chávez et al, 2018); use of cover crops (Huerta-Olague et al, 2018); and tillage systems (Velásquez-Valle et al, 2015).…”

Objective: To identify the socioeconomic factors which determine the adoption of soil erosion mitigation technologies in the Nazas-Aguanaval watershed region in the state of Durango, Mexico. Design/methodology/approach: During 2018, 61 semi-structured surveys were applied to farmers in the region. The variables associated with the willingness to adopt or not were analyzed with a maximum likelihood binomial Logit regression model. Results: Perception of the soil erosion problem, location of the watershed or agricultural unit, and economic activity were the most influential variables in the model. The main variable that conditions the willingness to adopt technologies to improve the soil is the perception of soil erosion in production areas, with a marginal effect of 45.03%. Limitations on study/implications: The results of this survey may only be applicable to the study area. Findings/conclusions: Training is necessary to promote and increase the perception, understanding and acceptance of soil erosion mitigation technologies
