Factors influencing the farmer’s chemical fertilizer reduction behavior: Dataset

The data are obtained from the questionnaire survey of farmers by the research team. The research team was mainly composed of teachers, masters' and doctoral students in agricultural economic management, with a total of 10 members. Since 2020, Qingdao city has been implementing the concept of green agricultural development and adjusting the structure of chemical fertilizer inputs. By reducing traditional chemical fertilizers and increasing the use of organic fertilizers, Qingdao has achieved significant results in reducing fertilizers and increasing their efficiency and comprehensive management. Therefore, Qingdao was chosen as a representative sample region for the survey.
Considering that farmers' fertilizer behavior changes rapidly, this paper uses a sample survey to investigate farmers' fertilizer reduction behavior in Qingdao. The sampling survey method collects and collates data quickly, ensures the timeliness of the survey, dramatically reduces survey costs and improves survey efficiency.
