Relying on social capital to promote farmers' adoption of green control technology is of great significance for the governance of rural environment and the realization of sustainable agricultural development. Based on the survey data of 754 farmers in Shandong Province, this paper uses the Probit model and the instrumental variable method to empirically analyze the impact of social capital on farmers' green control technology adoption behavior. The results show that: social capital has a promoting influence on farmers' green control technology adoption behavior; the influence of the three dimensions of social capital on farmers' green control technology adoption behavior is in turn social norms, social networks, and social trust; social networks play an enhanced moderating role in the process of social trust and social norms promoting farmers' green control technology adoption behavior; education level, the number of family labor force and annual family income level have a significant positive impact on farmers' green control technology adoption behavior, while age has a significant negative impact. Therefore, the government should make full use of social capital to promote farmers to adopt green control technology.
依靠社会资本促进农民采用绿色防控技术，对于农村环境治理和实现农业可持续发展具有重要意义。基于山东省754户农民的调查数据，本文运用Probit模型和工具变量法，实证分析社会资本对农民绿色防控技术采用行为的影响。研究结果表明：社会资本对农民绿色防控技术采用行为具有促进作用；社会资本的三个维度对农民绿色防控技术采用行为的影响依次为社会规范、社会网络和社会信任；社会网络在社会信任和社会规范促进农民绿色防控技术采用行为的过程中发挥增强的调节作用；受教育程度、家庭劳动力数量和家庭年纯收入水平对农民绿色防控技术采用行为有显著正向影响，而年龄有显著负向影响。因此，政府应充分利用社会资本促进农民采用绿色防控技术。
