These behaviors can be influenced through approaches that include direct quantity restrictions and price instruments. However, implementation of such policy instruments is deterred by the assumption that they would face public opposition. This article evaluates the public acceptability of price, quantity, and other instruments relevant to lawn fertilizer use. Models are illustrated using data from a discrete choice experiment conducted in the Baltimore, Maryland, region. The findings suggest that prevailing wisdom about the acceptability of lawncare regulations may lead to suboptimal policy outcomes.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
