Abstract: Promoting the continuous use of conservation practices by farmers is an important environmental policy issue to minimize the impact of agriculture on environmental quality. The effectiveness of environmental policies relies on farmers’ continuous use of conservation practices. Using duration analysis, this study analyzes the disadoption of injecting manure into soil and soil testing. The results show that over time farmers can become more likely to disadopt conservation practices due to changing economic conditions and learning-by-doing. Therefore, programs and policies that focus on one-time adoption can be limited in promoting the continuous use of conservation practices.
