Abstract
This paper analyzes the effect of adoption and complementarity of production technology bundles in horticultural greenhouse - more than 10m vinyl greenhouse ($T_1$), polyolefin film ($T_2$), winding branch ventilation ($T_3$), and more than 15 ounce lagging cover ($T_4$). The results are as follows: First, only using $T_1$, only using $T_2$, only using $T_3$, only using $T_4$, using $T_1$ and $T_3$, and using $T_1$ and $T_4$, have a higher net return. Second, when $T_3$ is used, $T_1$ and $T_2$ are complementary. Third, $T_1$ and $T_3$ are always complementary. Fourth, when $T_2$ and $T_3$ are not used, $T_1$ and $T_4$ are complementary. The results of this paper could contribute to government's technology diffusion policies and subsequent studies.
