Abstract: Concerning the impact of farmer credit on the adoption behavior of saline alkali soil control technology, binomial Logistic models for each adoption behavior of saline alkali soil control technology were built based on the data from the questionnaires of 468 households from Kenli, Zhenlai, and Chabuchaer. The results showed that farmer credit did not influence households’adoption behavior of farming control technology and biological control technology, but it affected households’ adoption behavior of water conservancy and chemical control technology, the more money farmers borrowed from the banks, the more likely they adopted the technique of water conservancy, but if the annual interest rate of the loan was high, the farmers were less likely to adopt the technique of water conservancy; the more the households had repaid the loan, the more likely they adopted the technique of chemical control, and if more loans were used for agricultural production, farmers were less likely to adopt the chemical control technology.
