The role of cooperative membership in promoting agricultural green production technologies among rice farmers in rural China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adopting agricultural green production technologies (AGPTs) is crucial for enhancing agricultural sustainability. This study draws on data from 1281 rice farmers in Jiangxi Province, China, surveyed in 2023. Using multivariate ordered probit models and mediated effects models, it examines whether cooperative membership affects the utilization of AGPTs. The findings reveal that the means of sample farmers' adoption of AGPTs and cooperative membership are 0.764 and 0.234, respectively, indicating that the adoption rate of AGPTs and the cooperative participation rate among farmers are relatively low. Cooperative membership, along with services such as land transfer, agricultural input procurement, production technology, and product marketing, significantly promotes the use of AGPTs. Specifically, cooperative membership encourages the adoption of organic fertilizers, soil-formula fertilizers, water-fertilizer integration, and green pest control technologies. However, it has no significant influence on the uptake of water-saving irrigation technologies. The impact of cooperative membership is powerful among farmers with lower educational attainment and in villages with higher economic levels. Additionally, cooperative membership enhances the application of AGPTs by improving farmers' environmental awareness, risk attitude, operational scale, and credit accessibility. Therefore, the government should encourage farmers to actively adopt AGPTs through measures such as supporting the development of cooperatives and improving the quality of their services.
