TLDR
In this paper, the influence of land tenure on the adoption of conservation practices was analyzed by distinguishing renters according to lease type and by distinguishing practices according to the timing of costs and returns.Abstract:
We use a logit adoption model with data on 941 U.S. corn producers from the 1996 Agricultural Resource Management Study to analyze the influence of land tenure on the adoption of conservation practices. We extend previous analyses by distinguishing renters according to lease type and by distinguishing practices according to the timing of costs and returns. We find that cash-renters are less likely than owner-operators to use conservation tillage, but share-renters are not. Both cash-renters and share-renters are less likely than owner-operators to adopt practices that provide benefits only over the longer term (grassed waterways, stripcropping, and contour farming).read more

Farmers’ adoption of conservation agriculture: A review and synthesis of recent research
Duncan Knowler,Ben Bradshaw +1 more
TL;DR: This article reviewed and synthesized this past research in order to identify those independent variables that regularly explain adoption, and thereby facilitate policy prescriptions to augment adoption around the world, concluding that efforts to promote conservation agriculture will have to be tailored to reflect the particular conditions of individual locales.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a multifaceted approach to mitigate the evolution of herbicide resistance by reducing selection through diversification of weed control techniques, minimizing the spread of resistance genes and genotypes via pollen or propagule dispersal, and eliminating additions of weed seed to the soil seedbank.

Why farmers adopt best management practice in the United States: A meta-analysis of the adoption literature
TL;DR: It is shown that various approaches to data collection affect the results and comparability of adoption studies, and environmental awareness and farmer attitudes have been inconsistently used and measured across the literature.

Conservation Agriculture and Soil Carbon Sequestration: Between Myth and Farmer Reality
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impact of conservation agriculture on carbon and nitrogen cycling in agriculture has been reviewed by synthesizing the knowledge of carbon cycling and summarizing the influence of tillage, residue management and crop rotation on soil organic carbon stocks.

Incentives and risk-sharing in sharecropping
TL;DR: In this article, the authors formulate a simple general equilibrium model of a competitive agricultural economy, based on the risk sharing and incentive properties of alternative distribution systems, which is of interest not only for extending our understanding of these simple economies but also in gaining some insight into the far more complex phenomena of shareholding in modern corporations.

Gershon Feder,Dina L. Umali +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the theoretical and empirical literature on the adoption of agricultural innovations during the last decade and the impact of policy interventions promoting technology adoption and found that agroclimatic environment is the most significant determinant of locational differences in adoption rates.
