3 Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study Introduction Apple is a widespread cultivated agriculture product which can be grown in different ecological conditions Apple takes an important place for Turkey in terms of production quantity and also plantation area but during the production period it can be encountered with many diseases and pests Early warning systems use especially for black spot (Venturia inaequalis) and codling moth (Cydia pomonella) in apple cultivationusda (2006) describes that Earlywarning systems for plant diseases are valuable when the systems provide timely forecasts that farmers can use to mitigate potentially damaging events through preventative management In other words early warning systems are small meteorogical stations which provide to farmer to find appripiate pest application time Experts which work in Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock in Turkey evaluate information from this meteorogical station and specify convenient date for pesticide application Pest management efforts for apple growing, also other agricultural crops, have intensified in Turkey since 90 s This increase is the result of the increase in pest population, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock s reduction in tolerance limit of residues permitted in foods, and the raising of cosmetic standards Gül (2005) emphasize that since the second half of the 90 s early warning system adoption studies has been launched, pest and disease management has reached faster and more scientific position but there are some lameness according to farmers in practice Applying pesticide in convenient time comes into prominence in apple cultivaton due to high numbers of diseases and pests From this point using technology in this area become one important issue Early warning system which is the technological pillar of integrated pest management found a common place in the research region since 90 s Rossi et al (1983) identified Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is thought of as an intermediary step between a chemical method of pest control and a non-chemical method of pest control IPM relies on a variety of biological, physical, cultural and chemical methods to control pests which are coordinated into a cohesive program designed to provide long-term protection from pests This study aimed to make an economic evaluation of early warning system in Antalya, Denizli, Isparta, Karaman, Konya and Niğde provinces which are dominant in apple production Besides farmers knowledge and adoption level of early warning system, pest management practices and economic loss from wrong pesticide application had been detected in these provinces
4 Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study Materials and Method The main material of the study consist 267 apple farmer surveys from Antalya, Denizli, Isparta, Karaman, Konya and Niğde Provinces Farmers divided into the 5 groups according to the level of early warning adoption level through the evaluation of technical experts also it has been imposed on secondary sources such as organizations datas (Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock, etc), national/international publications Districts are determined according to the apple production area in sampling process and villages which have early warning stations constituted sampling framework of the study Stratified sampling method was used to calculate sampling size (Neyman) (Çiçek and Erkan, 1996) Farms divided in four orchard size according to apple production areas Farms between 1-75 decares Igroup, decares IIgroup, decares IIIgroup and higher than 501 decares defined as IVgroup Interviewed farms are selected randomly Data which gathered from survey had been transferred to the computer and analyzed by using staatistical package programs Production costs constitute from all the expenses which are done during the production process such used inputs, services Daily wages in the regions are taken as a basis while calculating family workforce 3% of total variable cost be considered as a general management cost Circulating capital interest is a variable cost which shows capital s alternative cost Circulating capital interest calculated by using half (%65) of the Turkish Agriculture Bank crop credit interest rate (%135) Land interest calculated by using 5% of the current purchase and sale value in the research region (Kıral ve ark,1999) Facility capital interest is calculated by using 5% interest to the half of the total facility costs As is known facility cost in perennial plant means all the various expenses from the beginning to the first harvesting season In perennial plant some of the facility cost can be in the first year and some of them can be in few years and some of them can be every year until the harvesting Depreciation of establishment cost calculated by divided sum of establishment cost (6 years) to economic life of an orchard (55years) and production cost is obtained by adding this value to the cost in production period During this period, 5% of the costs are included as normal interest cost 5% normal to the sum of the costs incurred each year 3% of the costs incurred each year added as a general management cost Beside 5% of the bare land value added to these cost in each year (Açıl and Demirci, 1984) Establishment cost calculated through interviews in every provinces (5 interviews in each province) with farmers which established new orchard and during the interviews prices discounted to related year (2010)
5 Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study 169 Gross profit, net profit and relative profit indicator per unit area was used to evaluate of production success level and compare early warning system in farms To calculate this indicators; Gross Profit= Gross production value Variable cost Net Profit = Gross production value Production cost Relative Profit= Gross production value / Production cost formulas used in the study (Açıl ve Demirci, 1984; Kıral ve ark, 1999; Tanrıvermiş, 2000) 3 Findings and Discussion 31 Early warning system recognition In the study i farmers knowledge and adoption levels of early warning system has been determined According to the results farmers had a higher adoption level of early warning system despite of the low level of knowledge It has been monitored some increase with the orchard size but there isn t any meaningful relation statistically (Table 1) Table 1: Knowledge and adoption levels of farms Apple Orchard Size Early warning knowledge level Early warning adoption level IGroup Mean Std deviation IIGroup Mean Std deviation IIIGroup Mean Std deviation IVGroup Mean Std deviation Total Mean Std deviation Farmers are considered warnings from Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock but they don t know these warnings are developed according to the early warning meteorogical stations, because of that reason knowledge and adoption level is founded different 32 Pest and disease management Apple varietie resistances differ from regions and years Farmers in early warning system practising area had to control pest according to the warnings of the Food, Agriculture and Livestock Ministry Department Crop Protection and Plant Health (Zeki ve ark, 1998) In the

7 Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study 171 Unlike the study results in the cultivation of apples and cherries in the other studies which had been done in Karaman, Konya and Isparta provinces farms use pesticides according to the suggestions from the Food, Agriculture and Livestock Ministry which ranged from 9412% to 4131% and generally Ministry is the primary sources of the farmers (Hasdemir ve Taluğ, 2012; Demircan ve Aktaş, 2004; Bayav, 2007; Karaçayır, 2010) In our research technical staff suggestions and early warning systems ranked as third or fourth sources in the decision of pesticide usage this situation are thought to be due to lower levels knowledge of interviewed the farms When analyzing farms usage level (dosage) of insecticides, fungicides and herbicides pesticide sellers are the most important sources same as pesticide choice (38) and personel experiences (37) and Ministry technical staff (30) are the other important sources during the dosage decision (Table 3) In another study found that the most important factors, which are affected farmer plant protection products choices, are District Directorate of Agriculture (%5294) for farms without GAP (Good Agriculture Practice) and exporters (%3971) for farms with GAP sertificate Özer (2001) was detected that 414 % of the farmers considered suggestions of pesticide sellers following by District Directorate of Agriculture technical staff suggestions with 314% and personal knowledge, experience with 274% during to choosing process of pesticides The similar results founded in Isparta by Demircan and Yılmaz (2005), 3211% of the apple farmers choose pesticides according their knowledge and experience, 2569% of them considered suggestions of pesticide sellers and 1101% of them considered Directorate of Agriculture technical staff suggestions

11 Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study Economic losses from chemical spyraying in apple cultivation Economics losses put forth by comparing quantity of pesticides used and required usage in apple farms During the calculating average pesticide quantity usage as active ingredients of the farmers compared with suggested quantity from licensed pesticide list of Ministry Also the number of pesticide usage considered during the calculation It has been determined that farms are used more fungicides which varies on between 1020 % and 1332% in terms of orchard sizes according to the study results in research area It has been determined that the other important pesticide is insecticides for farms Farms are used more insecticides which varies between %1250 and %1717 than suggested quantity Acaricides also are used more between 351% and 1224% from the suggested dosage These results show that farmers have low information on pesticides usage and they behaved according to their personal knowledge and experiences Additive cost from excessive usage of chemicals is 2530 TL per decare in the study region Total pesticide cost was calculated TL per decare in apple production in the research area according that 1092% of the total pesticide costs arise from excessive usage (Table 6) Table 6: Economic losses based on pesticide usage in apple cultivation Apple orchard size I II III IV Farm Average Weighted average Fungucide (g/da) İnsekticide (g/da) Akaricide (g/da) Herbicide (g/da) Fungucide (%) İnsek ticide (%) Akaricide (%) Herbicide (%) Incremental pesticide cost due to over use of pesticide (TL/da) Share of incremental pesticide cost in total pesticide cost (%) Williams (2000) determined that tart cherry farmers which are reasonably adopted IPM saved $44908 per acre with this management program in the North Michigan they saved $ by without adoption of IPM on 1999 Reasonably adopted IPM resulted with the
12 Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study 176 highest savings rate followed by highly adoption (Williams, 2000) Because of this reason farmers have to get informed about early warning and encourage them to use appropriate dosage of pesticides, this could be provide big money savings for Turkey Share of pesticides cost in total variables cost varies from 2227% and 2802% according to early warnings adoption level and the share in total production cost varies between 1015% and 1295% Geiss (1973), founded that pesticide cost according to the orchard size in total variable cost are 1977%, 1962%, 1127% and 976% respectively on 1971 in Maine (USA) Rossi et al (1983), also compared pesticides cost of apple farms with IPM and non-ipm They founded that pesticide cost is $4798 per decare on farms with IPM and $5452 per decare on non-ipm farms They determined that pesticide cost equals 10% of the total production cost in both systems Demircan et al (2005), calculated that share of pesticides and spraying costs equal 2164% in total production cost and ranked the first in the total production costs Karaçayır (2010), also founded a similar research result that share of pesticides and spraying costs are 2575% in the total production costs and ranked the first on apple cultivation in Karaman Province According to all of these studies, pesticides and spraying costs are an important place in apple production, reducing this cost item will provide farmers to increase their income and help consumers to find healthier and cheaper products in the market 1 kg of apple cost decreases with the higher adoption of early warning system and profit margin, relative profit and net profit show increase during the high level of adoption In the study 1 kg of apple cost founded 057 TL in farms which highly adoption early warning system Karaçayır (2010), calculated 1 kg of apple cost 037 TL in Karaman Province This difference originated from the different research area in the study which is conducted Study provinces are produced apple more intensively and commercialy because of that they use more chemical pesticide and fertilizer; this increases production cost and average production cost per farm 4 Results This study aimed to compare economics effects of early warning adoption level in provinces which are dominant on apple cultivation of Turkey According to study results it has been determined that farmers have low information level but high adoption level of early warning system thus 416% of the farmers exactly adapt the pesticide application time from early warning system but farmers have lack of information about the system Study results show that early warning level increases with the level of farmer education and total land holdings also apple orchard fragmentation status decreases but there isn t any
13 Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study 177 statictical meaninngfull relation There isn t showing any significant difference between adoption level of early warning system and usage of N, P, K elements in unit area It is founded that farmers completely adopted early warning system use less fungicides, insecticides, acaricides in unit area generally than without adopted early warnings but higher that middle adopted farms There isn t any significant difference due to different ecologies and density of pests and diseases in research areas Apple cost per unit decreases with the higher adoption of early warning system and profit margin, relative profit and net profit show increase during the high level of adoption There is a siginificant relation between relative profit and early warning adoption level (p<005) Many small farms in these regions can increase their income, reduce their cost and provide market advantages by making some amelioration in the early warning system, enlargement of practise areas At this point farmer trust and awareness should increase Besides farmers have to get aware about fertilizer Soil and leaf analysis should be implemented and new technique such as fertigation should be encouraged 5 References AÇIL, AF; DEMİRCİ, R Tarım Ekonomisi Dersleri TC Ankara Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Yayınları: 880, Ders Kitabı: 245, 372 sayfa, Ankara, 1984 ATLAMAZ, A;ZEKI, C; ULUDAG, U The importance of forecasting and warning systems in implementation of integrated pest management in apple orchards in Turkey EPPO Bulletin, Vol 37, n 2, p , 2007 BAYAV, A Isparta İlinde Elma İşletmelerinde Yeniliklerin ve Araştırma Sonuçlarının Benimsenme Düzeyleri ve Etki DeğerlendirmeleriAdnan Menderes Üni FenBlEntYLTezi, 2007 BLACK, R; NUGENT, J; ROTHWELL, N; THORNSBURY, S; OLYNK, N Michigan Production Costs for Tart Cherries by Production Region Mıchıgan State Unıversıty Agricultural Economics Report #639, 2010 ÇİÇEK, A; ERKAN, O Tarım Ekonomisinde Araştırma ve Örnekleme Yöntemleri Gaziosmanpaşa Üniversitesi, Ziraat Fakültesi Yayınları No:12, Ders Notları Serisi No: 6, 118s, Tokat, 1996
