Reducing fertilizer use and increasing its efficiency will improve the quality of farmland resource conservation. These are necessary steps to achieving green development in agriculture. Nevertheless, fertilizer-reduction efficiency-increasing technologies (FREITs) remain limited. To situation, 538 farmers Jiangsu Hubei Provinces were surveyed with goal measuring information acquisition ability (IAA) using an Item Response Theory (IRT) model. A model improved technology selection was employed conjunction IV-probit examine impacts IAA on farmers’ adoption FREITs. The results showed that 34.76% had adopted FREITs, 12.45% 26.02% having Soil Testing Formula Fertilization Technology (STFFT) Organic Fertilizer Replacement (OFRT), respectively. Second, who used more access channels greater IAA, which significantly their Third, participation technical training increased degree understanding probability adopting remained robust after accounting for endogeneity correlation. Consequently, enhancing organizing training, improving publicity promote
