In order to explore the impact of the technology adoption behavior of farmers to the different levels of agr-icultural technology

a logistic model of influencing factors for farmer willingness to participate in agricultural watersaving is established based on the investigated data of 392 farmers from the different levels of agricultural technology in the arid and semiarid area. Results show that in the environment of high level agr-itechnique diffusion

government support policies are the main factor to encourage farmers to adopt water-saving irrigation. In the environment of intermediate level agr-itechnique diffusion

the adoption of water-saving irrigation technology is easily influenced by the number of annual t raining and natural conditions in rural areas. In the environment of low level agr-itechnique dif fusion

water-saving irrigation technology is more vulnerable to the impacts of farmer. sacceptance of new technolo gies

natural conditions in ruralarea

and farmer s. riskaw areness. At last

some measures to raise the level of agricultural technology to a high level are suggested

such as intensifying government support policies

streng thening education and training

and improving regional information environment.
