Abstract

This study is performed to determine the knowledge level of farmers in Diyarbakır province about conservation tillage practices to demonstrate the effective methods of producers were aimed. For this purpose, original data collected by a survey from 140 farmers in Diyarbakır province. Existing soil tillage practices of the farmers and the knowledge about sustainable agriculture, green manure, cover crops were defined. It is determined that 57% of the managements tilled the soil by using moldboard plough and 41% of the farmers burns the residue. 72% of the producer send samples for soil analyze but only 87% of them uses soil analyze result in production. 87% of the farmers stated that they have no knowledge and have not heard about conservation tillage likewise 58% of them are about direct seeding.
