Abstract: Based on the micro-research data from 245 rural households in Awati County, Xinjiang, the adoption behavior, adoption intensity and influencing factors of salinized cultivated land treatment technologies by rural households were systematically explored through theoretical and empirical analyses. The results showed that regarding whether farmers adopted salinized cultivated land treatment technologies, the total area of cultivated land, cultivated land quality protection subsidies, and salinization treatment training all had a significant positive impact on farmers' adoption decision. Regarding farmers' adoption intensity of salinized cultivated land treatment technologies, household characteristics (number of agricultural laborers), cultivated land characteristics (total cultivated land area), external environmental characteristics (impact of sand - dust weather, rationality of agricultural product prices), and policy-oriented characteristics (cultivated land quality protection subsidies, salinization treatment training) all significantly influenced the adoption intensity. The heterogeneity analysis indicated that individual farmer characteristics (education level), household characteristics (number of agricultural laborers), cultivated land characteristics (total cultivated land area), and policy-oriented characteristics (cultivated land quality protection subsidies, salinization treatment training) had differential impacts on farmers' adoption of physical improvement technology, chemical improvement technology, hydraulic improvement technology, and biological improvement technology. Based on the above-mentioned analyses, policy suggestions such as constructing a systematic promotion system for salinized cultivated land treatment technologies and implementing a diversified technology collaborative treatment model were put forward.
