Abstract: Based on the data of the 2015 China Household Finance Survey, the agricultural machinery services on the basis of evaluating the direct effect of agricultural labor transfer on the intensity of fertilizer use were explored. The results showed that:①The transfer of agricultural labor and agricultural machinery services had a significant inhibitory effect on the fertilizer use intensity of farmers. ②Agricultural machinery services played a partial mediating role in the effects of agricultural labor transfer on the intensity of fertilizer use. ③Cultivated land conditions had a significant positive moderating effect on the impact of agricultural labor transfer on the purchase of agricultural machinery services, but had no significant effect on the impact of agricultural machinery services on the intensity of fertilizer use.

Key words: agricultural labor transfer, agricultural machinery services, fertilizer reduction effect
