Determining Farmers' Information Sources in Chemical Fertilizer Use and Their Evaluation in terms of Agricultural Extension

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine information sources used by farmers in fertilizer use and their evaluation in terms of agricultural extension in Isparta Province. Data were obtained by conducting a questionnaire with 98 farms selected by stratified random sampling method. Farms were divided into two groups according to farm land size and were analyzed accordingly. The result indicated that there was no effective and rational fertilizing in study area. It was found that farmer’s applied fertilizers without considering soil analysis test. It was found that 33.67, 37.76 and 36.73 % of farmers use their knowledge and experience for determining fertilizer amount, fertilizer type and fertilizing time, respectively. The rate of farmers who have used fertilizer based on soil analysis was 13.27%. It was found that 78.57% of the farmers have never attended extension programs. It was found that 21.43% of farmers did not know which fertilizer to use for crops, fertilizing time and amount of fertilizer. There were significant lack of extension and training about chemical fertilizer use in the research area. Farmers need information about fertilizer and fertilizing application. Therefore, farmers training about fertilizer use should be given importance and extension programs should be improved in the research area.
