The cost of soil lost caused by sugar beet harvest: a case study for Turkey

Bitki hasadı nedeniyle toprak kaybına ilişkin çalışmalar son dönemde toprak erozyonu araştırmalarına dahil edilmiştir. Şeker pancarı gibi yumrulu bitkiler hasat edildiğinde önemli toprak kayıplarına yol açmaktadır. Bu araştırma 2005 yılında şeker pancarı hasadıyla kaybolan toprak kayıplarını ve bitki besin maddesi maliyetlerini tahmin etmek için yapılmıştır. Toprak kayıpları Türkiye Şeker Fabrikaları Genel Müdürlüğü’ nün raporlarından sağlanmıştır. Bu raporlara göre Ankara’ da şeker pancarı tarlalarından yılda 47 866 t toprak taşınmıştır. Bu toprakla taşınan bitki besin maddelerinin ekonomik değerinin 204 158 dolar olduğu tahmin edilmiştir. Türkiye’ de toprak kaybının yaklaşık 951 000 t ve N,P, K kaybı ekonomik değerinin ise 4 056 203 dolar olduğu tahmin edilmektedir.

Şeker pancarı hasadının neden olduğu toprak kaybının maliyeti: Türkiye için bir durum çalışması

Studies related with soil loss due to crop harvesting have been recently included in soil erosion investigations. Harvest of root crops like sugar beet causes significant soil loss. This study was conducted to determine soil loss and to estimate the economic value of related losses of plant nutrients during 2005. Soil losses were compiled from the reports of the General Directorate of the Turkish Sugar Industry. According to these reports, 47 866 t soil per year was transported from sugar beet fields in Ankara province, for which economic value of plant nutrients was estimated to be US$ 204 158. The estimated values for Turkey are approximately 951 000 t and 4 056 203 US$ for soil loss and the economic value of lost N, P, and K.
