Agricultural pesticides used on Central West Anatolian Eskişehir/Turkey population areas of Great Bustard Otis tarda

Abstract

The Great Bustard Otis tarda is the biggest species in the Western Palearctic species of the Otididae and the Male Great Bustard Otis tarda is one of the heaviest flying birds. The species is Globally Threatened Species Classified as “Vulnerable” by IUCN IUCN, 2015 and is listed in the CITES Appendix II. Habitat of this species in our country, due to the change of agricultural land to natural and secondary steppe, nowadays constitutes mostly farmland. In addition to pest control in the field of agriculture and indirectly to get more products from agricultural areas, wide variety pesticides Herbicides, Rodenticides, Insecticides etc. are used. This study, was supported 201319008 201364 coded Project by Eskişehir Osmangazi University Scientific Search Project Commusion, carried out in Eskişehir Aliken Important Nature Area between March 2013 – May 2015. During the field survey, in habitat of great bustard used pesticides were determined and this pesticides photographs and coordinates were taken. Finally, the written articles on determined pesticide active ingredients were scanned and potential impacts on these endangered species were discussed

İç Batı Anadolu Eskişehir ’daki Büyük Toy Kuşu Otis tarda ’nun Yaşam Alanlarında Kullanılan Tarımsal İlaçlar

Abstract

Büyük Toy Kuşu Otis tarda , Otididae familyasının Batı Palearktik’te bulunan türlerinden en büyük olanı ve erkeği uçabilen en ağır kuşlardan biridir. Bu tür, Küresel Tehlikedeki Kuşlar Listesi’nde IUCN, 2015 Hassas ‘Vulnerable’ ve Bern Sözleşmesi’nde EK-II statüsündedir. Ülkemizde bu türün yaşam alanlarını, doğal ve ikincil bozkırların tarım alanlarına dönüştürülmesinden dolayı, günümüzde çoğunlukla tarım arazileri oluşturmaktadır. Yine günümüzde tarım alanlarındaki zararlılarla mücadele etmek ve dolaylı olarak tarım alanlarından daha fazla ürün almak için çok çeşitli tarım ilaçları Herbisit, Rodentisit, İnsektisit vb. kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri Komisyonu tarafından 201319008 nolu proje ile desteklenerek Mart 2013-Mayıs 2015 tarihleri arasında Eskişehir ili Aliken Önemli Doğa Alanı ÖDA içinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan arazi çalışmaları sırasında Büyük Toy Kuşunun yaşam alanları içinde kullanılan tarımsal ilaçlar belirlenmiş, fotoğraflanmış ve koordinatları alınmıştır. Son olarak belirlenen bu tarımsal ilaçların etken maddeleri üzerine yapılan makaleler taranmış ve nesli tehlikede olan bu tür üzerine oluşturacağı olası etkileri tartışılmıştır
