      abstract = {Based on the survey data of 150 peasant households in  typical Karst mountainous area in the year 2009,  causations, characteristics and influence factors of the  concurrent-business behavior of peasant households during  planting structure adjustment are analyzed. Result shows  that there is significant positive correlation between the  concurrent-business income and the household income of  farmers. And the concurrent-business behavior has the  tendency to be popular among the young farmers with the  characteristics of relative concentration, strong will of  farmers and the significant impact of education degree on  the concurrent-business income.
