Abstract:This paper breaks through the shortcomings of existing studies that focuses on the promotion of a particular farmland quality conservation technology but explores the impact of social support on farmers' farmland quality conservation behavior by focusing on a single dimension. This paper classifies social support into three categories: tool support, information support, and emotional support, and focuses on the differences in the influence of different types of social support on farmers' farmland quality conservation behavior, as well as the intermediary role of psychological resilience, which contains three dimensions of tenacity, self-improvement and optimism. Based on the data of 697 tea farmers' research questionnaires in the Qinba Mountains in China, an empirical analysis is conducted using Probit and mediating effect models, with the aim of providing a reference for promoting farmers' sustainable farmland quality conservation behavior. The results show as follows: (1) Tool support, information support, and emotional support can promote farmers' continuous recycling of pesticide waste, continuous surface coverage and continuous application of organic fertilizer; (2) The three dimensions of psychological resilience have intermediary effects in the relationship between social support and sustainable recycling of pesticide waste, and between social support and sustainable surface coverage, while they show masking effects in the organic fertilizer application model. (3) External risks play a reinforcing role in the resilience and optimism to promote farmers' sustainable recycling of pesticide waste and the resilience to promote farmers' sustainable land cover. (4) Agricultural income ratio and farmland area promote farmers' continuous recycling of pesticide waste, gender and education level promote farmers' continuous surface coverage, and education level and health status promote farmers' continuous application of organic fertilizer. Accordingly, it is suggested that the government should establish a relevant social support system and give full play to the organizational functions of village collectives and cooperatives to provide endogenous motivation for farmers' sustainable farmland quality conservation behavior.
