Abstract: To explore the carbon reduction effect and application driving factors of low-carbon planting technologies, the application status and carbon reduction contribution of low-carbon planting technologies were analyzed based on field survey data for 376 households in Fuzhou, Ganzhou, Jiujiang and other regions in Jiangxi Province in 2016 and 2018. Based on the low-carbon planting technologies application index, this paper analyzes the driving factors for the application of low-carbon planting technologies. It was found that the carbon reduction effect of low-carbon planting technologies depends on the proportion of emissions from each carbon source (chemical fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural diesel, and agricultural film) in the planting industry and its degree of application. The farmers' recognition of low-carbon planting technologies is low. The application level of low-carbon planting technologies increases with lower average age of head of household and spouse, more convenient transportation, hoping to sell agricultural products and learn agricultural policy through the internet, actively participating in training, and training involves low carbon planting technologies. According to the above research results, suggestions for promoting the application of low-carbon planting technologies are put forward.
