| Abstract | Purpose: Agricultural technical education is widely used in Chinese agricultural production to reduce farmers' pesticide overuse. However, the effectiveness of technical education is questioned by scholars who found that it fails to promote farmers' pesticide management. In this study, we aimed to explore whether farmers' interpersonal trust in education staff affects the efficiency of technical education. Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted on Chinese vegetable farmers with 117 open field vegetable growers and 119 greenhouse vegetable growers. Data were analyzed using a multivariate regression model. Findings: The results show that technical education can significantly reduce farmers' pesticide application in vegetable production. And the effect of specific guidance is stronger than that of course training. The response of farmers on technical education, as a proxy of farmers' understanding capacity on education knowledge, negatively affects farmers' pesticide costs. More importantly, we find that farmers' trust in education staff could affect the positive effect of agricultural technical education on pesticide application. Practical implications: This study will enable education staff/officers to value interpersonal relationships, which can instruct farmers to turn the pesticide knowledge they received from technical education into production practice. Theoretical implications Promoting farmers' trust in information providers will increase the efficiency and quality of knowledge transmission and transformation in agricultural technical education. Originality/value: This paper highlights the importance of interpersonal trust in agricultural technical education, and offers an available explanation for controversy over on efficiency of agricultural technical education.
