Among them, family economic structure influenced most on reclamation farmers’ adoption of new technologies, followed by the complexity of agricultural technology itself. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of reclamation farmers for new agricultural technologies,demonstration role is important in the promotion of agricultural science and technology. It is suggested to discover and cultivate leading farmers in scientific and technological demonstration, and promote some simple, applicable and low cost agricultural technologies.
