Evaluation of Dry Bean Farming in Konya Region and Its Importance for Sustainable Agriculture

Öz

Establishing policies for the sustainability of the sector by increasing legume production and consumption is a critical issue for both Turkiye and the world and is a strategic issue that needs to be emphasized. Dry beans are an important edible legume that should alternate in sustainable agriculture, as well as providing easy supply of healthy and nutritious food to the increasing world population. Present research realized to determine the main problems faced by Konya City farmers in bean farming in 2021 and to offer appropriate solutions. For this purpose, questions about bean farming were asked to one hundred farmers who were randomly selected from the districts with the highest bean cultivation in the Konya region, and the results obtained were examined as "%" unit. As the result of the present research, it was seen that Konya farmers are insufficient in matters such as fertilization quantity and technic, irrigation density, control of diseases and pests, and usage of the certified seeds in dry bean farming. Since the cultivation techniques have direct or indirect impacts on the seed yield and seed quality of the beans, so it is necessary to correct the important deficiencies or mistakes of our farmers. In addition, intending to ensure agricultural sustainability and healthy human nutrition, it is essential to increase production and quality by determining the problems related to legumes that should be included in the rotation systems and on the food menu, and related issues are overseen inwardly the aim of the present research.
