Farmers’ Approaches to Drip Irrigation Applications and the Factors Affecting the Utilization from Drip Irrigation Subsidies: Case of Adana and Niğde Provinces

Abstract

In this study, the socio-economic structure of the agricultural enterprises that utilized from the in-field drip irrigation subsidies or not, were determined, a comparative analysis of their knowledge levels and opinions about drip irrigation method was made in Adana and Niğde provinces. Besides, the factors affecting the benefit of the producers from drip irrigation subsidies were determined. A survey was conducted with a total of 26 producers, 10 of which utilized from drip irrigation subsidies in Adana and 16 of which utilized from drip irrigation subsidies in Niğde. In order to make a comparison between the groups, a survey was conducted with the same number of producers who did not utilize from drip irrigation subsidies. In the analysis of the data, basic descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and percentage calculations were used. The continuous data obtained were subjected to the t test and the discrete data to the chi-square test to determine whether there was a difference between the producers who utilized and did not utilize from drip irrigation subsidies. Tendency of the producers to utilize from drip irrigation subsidies was determined using binary logistic regression analysis. It was determined that the age of the producers, the number of family members, their non-agricultural income and the type of activity they were engaged in affected the drip irrigation subsidies negatively, while the education period, the size of the irrigated land and the number of family members working in agriculture had a positive effect. Considering that the purpose of drip irrigation subsidies is to ensure more effective use of limited water, to increase productivity, to reduce labor and production costs, and to increase the prevalence of drip irrigation systems, it is possible to say that drip irrigation subsidies was applied in accordance with its purpose.
