Uncontrolled use of agricultural chemicals in intensive agricultural areas of Turkey causes serious soil, surface- and ground-water pollution. Controlled use of agricultural chemicals is of importance for preventing further pollution of these natural resources. The objectives of this paper are to present a screening model that can be used to determine the scientific criteria serving as basis of controlled pesticide use, to classify pesticides according to their pollution potential and, based on this classification, to determine the measures that can help regulate pesticide use in order to reduce groundwater pollution. Pesticide screening model (PESTRANS) considers basic physical chemical and biological transport processes and can describe the amount of pesticide mass that can potentially leach through soil to groundwater or beyond biologically active soil zone. Based on the results of PESTRANS simulations under standard soil and environmental conditions, pesticides are classified according to their volatilization, mobility and persistence characteristics and groundwater pollution potential. Classifications indicate that nearly 65% of the pesticides commonly used in Turkey has high pollution potential. In order to reduce the pollution potential of these pesticides, the current pesticide application rates must be reduced without significant loss of effectiveness or alternative pesticides having similar effectiveness with lower pollution potential must be used.

Ranking of pesticides according to leaching potentials to groundwater for the selected river basins in Turkey – index-based approach
Akay, Ayşe Ece; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2016)
Recently, identification of pollutant parameters in river basins of Turkey has been greatly concerned by the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs (MoFWA).In this respect, the intention of MoFWA is to identify the pollutants which would be included in monitoring programs as required by the regulations toward the protection of water sources, both surface and groundwaters. Among these identified pollutants, various pesticides appeared as important group of pollutants to be monitored. Given the fact that pest...
Soil and water analysis techniques for agricultural production
Maral, Nuh; Gökmen, Gülser İnci; Department of Chemistry (2010)
In Turkey, usage of increasing amounts of fertilizers and pesticides by some unconscious farmers cause soil pollution and soil infertility for the crop production. Usage of water in excessive amounts and/or in poor quality for irrigation creates problems during the plant production. So in this study, soil and water samples were analyzed by using simple and reliable techniques for the soil and water quality in laboratories of METU and Soil Fertilizer and Water Resources Central Research Institute Laboratory ...

Üçlü Eşleştirme Yöntemi ile Uydu ve Hidrolojik Model Kaynaklı Toprak Nemi Değerlerinin Hata Oranlarının Bulunması
Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2016-06-01)
Toprak neminin iklim, taşkın, kuraklık ve rekolte gibi birçok çalışmada çok kritik bir öneme sahip olmasına karşın, toprak nemi ile alakalı çalışmalar ülkemizde çok kısıtlı kalmıştır. Hidrolojik model ve uydu verisi gibi değişik kaynaklardan elde edilen toprak nemi değerlerinin birleştirilerek daha iyi veri elde edilmesi, ancak bu verilerin hata oranlarının belirlenmesi ile mümkündür. Toprak nemi son yıllarda bilhassa hidroloji kaynaklı çalışmalarda sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Buna karşın üçlü eşleştirme tek...
