摘要

本研究通过调查收集了柑橘种植者的人口统计、生产和管理实践以及对使用覆盖作物作为保护措施的看法等方面的信息,并利用双界二分类选择条件估值法来衡量他们在柑橘生产中采用覆盖作物的支付意愿。这项调查是针对佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州的柑橘生产商进行的。研究发现,佛罗里达州的种植者平均每年愿意为每英亩种植覆盖作物支付509.48美元。这大大低于德克萨斯州种植者的WTP,他们愿意每年为覆盖作物支付1000美元以上。本研究分析了影响覆盖作物WTP的主要因素,并讨论了各州种植者对使用这种保护措施的利弊看法的异质性。尽管在多年生水果生产系统中使用覆盖作物并不是一种普遍的保护做法,但它对改善土壤质量的潜力对佛罗里达州的柑橘生产尤其重要,那里的土壤是沙质的,有机质含量低。

Citrus growers’ willingness to pay and perceptions of cover crops
This study develops and uses a survey to gather information on demographics, production and management practices, and perceptions on using cover crops as a conservation practice from citrus growers and utilizes the double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation method to measure their willingness to pay (WTP) for adopting cover crops in citrus production. The survey is conducted for citrus producers in Florida and Texas. The study finds that, on average, growers from Florida are willing to pay $509.48/acre per year for adopting cover crops. This is substantially less than the WTP for growers in Texas, who are willing to pay more than $1,000/acre per year for cover crops. The study analyzes the factors that have significant impacts on growers’ WTP for cover crops and discusses the heterogeneity in the grower perceptions on the benefits and drawbacks of using this conservation practice by state. Although using cover crops has not been a popular conservation practice in perennial fruit production systems, its potential to improve soil quality is particularly important for citrus production in Florida where soils are sandy and have low organic matter.
