Azabagaoglu, M. O.Kubas, A.Hurma, H.Yilmaz, F.2024-06-122024-06-1220071311-5065https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14551/23117Producers are using lower quantity pesticides than in the past years. The EU changed the support system and premium to agricultural field instead of amount of production. Pesticide and fertiliser support is totally abandoned in Turkey as well. But, intense usage of pesticides is still continuing with respect to lack of application knowledge. Although agricultural cooperatives were the first place of pesticides purchase, they were insufficient to assist producers in application of pesticide. Because of the low level of education among the agricultural sector employees and lack of knowledge, it causes an excessive or inadequate pesticide usage and also wrong pesticide usage in some cases. Factor analysis results reveal that farmers obtain pesticides directly and that they take into account the recommendations of the chambers of agriculture and the pesticide dealerships with which they communicate. Besides, factor group is forming with suitable prices and ease payment variables due to the pesticide dealers and the chambers of agriculture being in the first rows when obtaining pesticides.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPesticide UsagePesticide PreferenceAgricultural SupportAgricultural InputArticle82241248N/AWOS:000254747100001
