摘要：This research analyzes the adoption patterns among cotton farmers for remote sensing, yieldmonitors, soil testing, soil electrical conductivity, and other precision agriculture technologiesusing a Multiple Indicator Multiple Causation regression model. Adoption patterns are analyzedusing principle component analysis to determine natural technology groupings. Identified bundlesare regressed on farm structure and operator characteristics. The propensity to adopt technologybundles was greater for producers managing relatively larger operations who used a variety ofinformation sources to learn about precision farming, irrigated cotton, practiced crop rotation, andparticipated in working land conservation programs.
