Abstract
Adopting sustainable plant protection approaches (SPPAs) is critical for addressing environ-mental challenges and ensuring sustainable agricultural systems. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the factors influencing farmers’ adoption of SPPAs, focusing on behavioral, social, and institutional drivers. Farm-related determinants include health concerns, risk perceptions, economic stability, and literacy regarding SPPA benefits and implementation. Non-farm factors such as social norms, government policies, and stakeholder interactions also shape adoption behaviors. The role of social networks and extension services is underscored as critical mechanisms for knowledge trans-fer and motivation, with farmer-to-farmer interactions emerging as particularly influential. Despite evidence supporting the environmental and economic benefits of SPPAs, barriers such as high costs, perceived inefficacy, and limited access to information and technical resources persist. Government interventions, including subsidies, training programs, and crop insurance, are identified as key tools to mitigate risks and financial burdens associated with SPPAs. However, systemic issues, such as frag-mented policies and conflicting market pressures, often hinder the adoption of SPPAs. This review highlights the need for integrated, evidence-based strategies that align incentives across stakeholders, leverage psychological insights into behavior change, and address regional and cultural differences in agricultural systems. Advancing SPPA adoption requires long-term research and coordinated efforts among researchers, policymakers, and the agricultural community to build resilient and sustainable farming practices globally.
永續植物保護措施 (sustainable plant protection approaches; SPPAs) 在減輕有害生物防治所引發的環境衝擊與促進永續農業系統的建立方面，具有關鍵重要性。本專題論述統整影響農民採用 SPPAs 的多重因素，並著重於不同層級因素與其交互作用。與農戶相關 (farm-related) 的因素包括健康風險、風險認知、經濟能力以及對 SPPAs 成效與實施方式的理解；而非農戶層面的因素 (non-farm-related) 則涵蓋社會規範、政府政策以及與利害關係人的互動，這些因素同樣影響 SPPAs 的採用行為。現有研究顯示，社會網絡 (如農民間的互動 ) 與推廣服務，在知識傳遞與 SPPAs 採用過程中扮演關鍵機制。儘管 SPPAs 在環境與經濟層面有顯著益處，但高成本、成效認知不足以及有限的資訊與技術資源，仍為農民採用 SPPAs 的主要障礙。政府介入，如提供補助、培訓計畫及作物保險，為降低 SPPAs 相關風險與經濟負擔的重要工具。但政策碎片化與市場壓力的矛盾，往往對 SPPAs 的推廣形成阻礙。總結過去研究，若要提升 SPPAs 之採用，建立整合且基於實證的政策，協調各方利害關係人的激勵機制，並運用行為科學與心理學促進農民採用 SPPAs，同時考量區域文化差異為相當重要的工作。然而，目前相關研究相對匱乏。推動 SPPAs 的廣泛應用，仰賴長期研究與研究人員、政策制定者及農業組織的協同合作，以構建具韌性且永續的植物保護策略與農業生產體系。
