Abstract

Pests and diseases destroy considerable proportion of rice crop every year. Most of the losses are caused by the attact of Chilo Suppressalis (WLK), a pest that damaged 174 out of 254 thousand hectares of cultivated rice area in the year 1997. Therefore, among the agricultural crops, rice has had the largest share in pesticide use. This study attempts to determine the effects of this new technology on pesticide use. Using high amounts of pesticides in rice cultivation not only will increase the production cost, but will cause serious environmental degradation, as well as increased pest resistance. BIOLOGICAL CONTROL is considered and emphasized as an alternative technology by the government of Iran to overcome these problems. Logit analysis is used to evaluate the impacts of the new technology on the pesticides consumption, using a sample of 270 observations collected from the rice producing farmers in MAZANDARAN province. The results show that 81 percent of the rice farmers who have not adopted biological technology for the pest control, have used pesticide against the chilo suppressalis, whereas this percentage for the adopter of the new technology was 53 percent. Furthermore comparing the consumption of pesticides in the two group of farmers, shows that average consumption of pesticides for the adopter of new technology is 17.14 kilogram per hectare and 31.14 kilogram for the non-adopter. The statistical results of the LOGIT MODEL show a negative and significant relationship between the adoption of new technology of pest control and chemical application.
