  • Beschreibung: Pesticides are important materials for agricultural production, and increasing the output efficiency of pesticide use will promote green agricultural upgrading, which needs to integrate the scientific and technological innovation and human capital to form a virtuous development circle. By creating the indicator that the output added value per unit pesticide use and collecting large amounts of data to account the efficiency of agricultural pesticide application in provinces and cities in Chinese Mainland, the influence mechanism of human capital and scientific and technological innovation on the output efficiency of pesticide application has been analyzed with the help of factor model. Results show that the amount of pesticide application has increased from 0.733 million tons to 1.313 million tons in China from 1990 to 2020. During the same period, the added value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery per unit of pesticide increased by 3.19 times, and the added value of agriculture and forestry per unit of pesticide increased by 2.61 times at the prices in 1990. The scientific and technological innovation and human capital have significant positive impact on the output efficiency of agricultural pesticide application, but their cross item has a negative effect. Scientific and technological innovation is the basis for talents playing the roles, but only the effective combination of the two can do. It is necessary to enhance the fusion of agricultural S&T and human capital, perfect the financial support policy, reform land circulation system, and strengthen agricultural infrastructure so as to increase the output efficiency of pesticide application and keep agriculture develop sustainably
