摘要: This study examines the adoption of best-management practices (BMPs) in terms total number implemented up to a certain period, using count data analysis. Poisson and negative binomial regressions were used examine likely determinants producers’ decisions adopt greater numbers technologies, specific case dairy BMPs was explored. Our results emphasize significant effect awareness efforts control non-point source pollution, information about BMPs, farms size, producer’s educational attainment, risk aversion on adopted.
