TLDR
Fertiliser use in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) grown under dry conditions was analysed from an economic point of view and it was found that farmers should increase average chick pea production area to use resources efficiently.Abstract:
Fertiliser use in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) grown under dry conditions was analysed from an economic point of view. In addition, a simple relationship between output (amount of chickpea) and inputs (fertiliser cost, pesticides cost, chickpea production area, labour, and amount of seed) was determined. The Tokat province of Turkey was chosen as the research area because it was the main chickpea production area. To study the effects of fertiliser use on chickpea production, 74 farmers were randomly selected and surveyed. Research findings were as follows: (1) gross and net profit was negative for the fertiliser user group and non‐fertiliser user group; (2) lack of technical knowledge and high input prices were the main reasons for unbalanced fertiliser use by farmers; (3) chickpea production area and fertiliser cost were the most important factors affecting chickpea production; (4) chickpea production was little effected by labour; (5) amount of seed and total pesticide cost were not significant i...read more

Economic and Toxicological Aspects of Pesticide Management Practices: Empirical Evidence from Turkey
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the economics and toxicological aspects of pesticide management practices for sustainable chickpea production and suggested that the government should carry out effective agroenvironmental intervention policies and farmer extension programs should be aimed at balancing the amounts of pesticides used per hectare for the sustainable, dynamic environment and prevention of pesticide toxicity.
