Abstract

Crop variety adoption is considered as one of the main strategies for farmers to enhance productivity under stress brought by the climate change, with less environmental impacts. It holds an upstream position in the whole life cycle of agricultural clean production, compared to the field management and agricultural non-point source pollution treatment.
