摘要: This paper analyses the process of adoption no-tillage in olive groves Southern Spanish province Granada. The data used comes from a survey carried out 2005-2006 to 215 farmers. We first analyse diffusion practices over time by estimating several models. Then we identify some factors that determine their two binomial probit Our results show is practiced 90% surveyed has been intense since middle nineties, and based on interactions among farmers area study rather than influenced other external factors. Some relevant influence are irrigation, continuity farming activity relative or farmer’s perception soil erosion problem.
