The phenomenon of shifting from double-cropping to single-cropping among farmers in traditional double-cropping rice producing areas is an important manifestation of implicit farmland abandonment，which directly affects the effective guarantee of food security.Based on a survey of 1366 rice-growing households in Jiangxi Province，this study empirically analyzes the impact of digital literacy on farmers’ enthusiasm for rice cultivation and its mechanisms.Research has found that digital literacy has a significant inhibitory effect on implicit farmland abandonment，and the improvement of digital literacy helps to enhance farmers’ enthusiasm for growing crops and promotes the planting of double cropping rice.Mechanism analysis shows that digital literacy inhibits implicit farmland abandonment by facilitating online sales，land transfers，the introduction of agricultural social services，and the adoption of green agricultural production technologies，thereby motivating farmers to plant double-cropping rice.Heterogeneity analysis indicates that digital literacy has a more pronounced inhibitory effect on implicit farmland abandonment among younger farmers，those with lower proportion of agricultural income，those with rich social capital，and those with secured land ownership，increasing their likelihood of planting double-cropping rice.To address implicit farmland abandonment，efforts should be made to strengthen rural digital infrastructure，enhance farmers’digital literacy，bridge the digital literacy gap among farmers，and guide farmers in the main producing areas of double-cropping rice to cultivate double-cropping rice.
