A Study on the Relationship between Fertilizers, the Environment and Fertilizer Use: An Example of Alasehir and Sarıgol in Manisa Province, Turkey

Today, environmental, human and public health awareness are at varying levels in different countries, however on the whole, great progress has been made. The problems caused by the use of inputs in agriculture are experienced in different dimensions in developed and developing countries, as well as in Turkey. Merely having laws is not sufficient for the use of the appropriate fertilizer. As such, the situation in Turkey and in the world during the 2007-2017 period has been primarily studied employing the deductive method. In addition, the study attempts to determine the use of chemical fertilizers, and the factors affecting it, of producers who depend on agricultural activities and make a living mainly from viticulture in the Alasehir and Sarigol districts of Manisa province, which is one of the most important production and export centers of Turkey and has an important place in agricultural inputs. It is aimed to reveal the effects fertilizer use has on flora and fauna in the local ecosystem as well as the preferences and behaviors of the producers in fertilizer usage, and to determine whether the producer is conscious in the use of its product as an input. This research is of great importance in terms of being able to shed light on other studies and researchers, as it one of the few academic studies conducted in the region.
