使用农药能减少农作物的损失,增加农作物产量,但滥用农药会对人类健康和生态环境产生负面影响,因此农药使用量必须在两者之间有效寻求平衡。根据来自农研中心的2010年山东省玉米种植农户的数据,利用农药损失控制生产函数研究了农药税对山东省玉米种植农户农药使用量的影响,试图为我国合理制定农药政策、保证食品安全和保护生态环境提供科学依据。结果表明:低农药税会增加农户的农药使用量;高农药税能在基本不影响农户利润的情况下有效减少农户的农药使用量。
The use of pesticides can reduce the loss of crops and increase crop yield, but the abuse of pesticides has a negative impact on human health and ecological environment, therefore the use of pesticides must reach a balance. According to the data of corn farmers in Shandong province in 2010, this paper used the pesticide damage abatement function to study the effects of pesticide tax on the use of pesticides of corn farmers in Shandong province, to provide scientific basis to formulate reasonable pesticide policies, ensure food safety and protect the environment. The results showed that low pesticide tax increased the use of pesticides, while high tax could reduce the use of pesticides effectively, and didn't affect farmers' profits.
