| Tiivistelmä: | American farmers do not always choose sustainable insect management practices, even when they can improve their farm economic and environmental conditions by doing so. Organic farmers are dependent on alternative, biology-based insect control methods and are innovative in their on-farm experimentation with new strategies. By understanding the factors that influence the insect management portfolio chosen by organic farmers, research and education programs to promote sustainable insect management practices for all farmers may be devised. A negative binomial model of the factors influencing the number of alternative insect management practices adopted is applied to survey data from American organic farmers. |
