Özet
This study has been conducted in 2019 with the purpose of determining the awareness levels of vine-growers in crop protection practices in Savur district of Mardin province where vine-growing is highly common. With this in mind, 5 villages have been randomly selected from each district, on the basis of simple random sampling, and data have been acquired from 75 growers in 15 villages through a 20-question questionnaire and the results have been assessed as a percentage ratio. It has been observed that vine growers are highly educated, most of them have non-agricultural income and their income level is above hunger-limit. When it comes to pesticide selection and determining pesticide dosage, vine growers receive recommendations from vendors and District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry. Further to this, it has also been observed that brand and active substance are important factors in pesticide selection, they do not continuously use the same pesticide against the same disease and pest, they perform disinfestation before any disease or pest appears, they apply the recommended dosage, the pesticides they use leave residue on the products, they observe the waiting time between disinfestation and harvest, they use protective garment and mask during disinfestation, they dispose the empty pesticide boxes in a careful manner, they clean the disinfestation tool but they use it without any calibration, they make a mixture of the pesticides, they prefer cultural disinfestation in addition to chemical disinfestation and they are not aware of the term bio-pesticide. With regards to overcoming crop protection issues, growers generally prefer chemical weeding but careless pesticide practices bring along several adversities in terms of human and nature health.
