Abstract: Based on the survey data of 230 vegetable growers in Tianjin, the factors affecting vegetable farmers’ adoption of water-saving irrigation technology, their logical structure and hierarchical relationship were analyzed using binary Logit model and ISM model. The results showed that the root factors influencing vegetable farmers’ choice of water-saving irrigation technology were the degree of agricultural co-occupation, cultivated land and government publicity and promotion efforts. The cognition of water price and the understanding of water-saving irrigation technology were the direct factors that affected the choice behavior of water-saving irrigation technology of vegetable farmers. According to the conclusion of the study, some suggestions were put forward to provide reference for the sustainable development of agriculture in China, such as guiding vegetable growers to join industrial organizations and give full play to the advantages of large-scale and specialized operation, perfecting the agricultural water price mechanism, and improving government publicity efforts.
