PROJECT AREA
6
OBJECTIVE

• The Project will reduce, over the
  long-term, the discharge of nutrients (nitrogen
  and phosphorus) and other agricultural pollutants
  into the surface and ground waters of Turkey and
  the Black Sea through integrated land and water
  management and ecologically sustainable use of
  natural resources.

7
OBJECTIVE

• increasing the use of environmentally
  friendly agricultural practices and thereby
  reducing nutrient discharge particularly from
  agricultural sources to the Black Sea
• strengthening national policy and local
  regulatory capacity to meet European Union (EU)
  standards for agricultural nutrient
  pollution control

8
Main Components of the Agricultural Pollution
Control in Blacksea

• Manure Management
• Nutrient Management
• Water and Soil Quality Monitoring
• Organic Farming
• Nitrate Directive Implementation

9
MANURE MANAGEMENT

• By October 20, 2007, a total of 126 farm type
  manure storage (for more than 10 cattle) and 77
  household type manure stores (for up to 5 cattle)
  have been completed.
• Six large central manure storage and handling
  facilities, Samsun, Amasya, Tokat and in Çorum
  microcatchment have been completed.
• Machinery (container carriers, solid manure
  spreaders, manure mixers, liquid manure vacuum
  tankers and loader tractors have been procured
  and are in use.

BIOGAS

• Biogas introduction studies were launched.
• Within this scope 2 demonstration facilities are
  under construction.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT

• Soil Analysis
• Manure Analysis
• Manure Application Software

33
SOIL AND MANURE ANALYSIS

• Project Provincial Teams were trained related to
  Soil Sampling Techniques.
• All needed chemical substances for analysis in
  the scope of the Project was provided to Soil and
  Fertilizer Research Institute.
• Soil and manure analysis was launched and 400
  soil and 20 manure analysis from the project
  fields had been analyzed.
• Soil and manure analysis will be accelerated
  according to application of manure management.

Water and Soil Quality Monitoring

• The team has developed a detailed lab handbook
  for procedures so that analysis procedures by all
  labs are harmonized .
• The labs are provided with necessary chemicals
  and supplies, instrument capacity strengthened.
  Both regional and provincial labs are taking
  necessary samples and conducting water and soil
  analysis. The data gathered so far will be used
  to develop a baseline.

38
Water and Soil Quality Monitoring

• Within project microcatchments, there are 33
  points for surface water samples, 32 points for
  ground water sampling and 2 points from natural
  fountains. Water is being analyzed monthly and
  quarterly for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen,
  turbidity , suspended solids , nitrate, TN, TP
  and fecal coliform.

ORGANIC FARMING

• With respect to organic farming, the project
  organized training for 38 farmers and 32
  provincial staff from the four project provinces
  in Izmir where organic fruit production is well
  established.
• Subsequently three training sessions were
  organized for training of the trainers on
  organic farming.
• An accredited control and certification services
  company had been contracted to initially help in
  organizing the organic fruit growing in the
  project area and later in certification.

45
ORGANIC FARMING

• 3 Organic walnut field had been established in 3
  different microcatchments with 10 hectare, 1
  hectare and 30 hectare dimensions.
• In a microcatchment, 40 hectares walnut field
  belong to 77 farmers, had been converted into
  Organic Farming.
• Interest to Organic Farming and related requests
  to Project Management continuously increases.

TRAINING

• In the scope of the project, inner personnel
  trainings and farmer trainings were carried out.
• In Project provinces, project provincial teams
  have been trained continuously.
• Besides, trainings related to project were not
  limited to the project provinces and
  participation from other provinces was provided.
• Until now, more than 800 farmers have been
  informed about the project, nitrate pollution and
  manure management.
• In the coming months, farmer trainings will focus
  on manure and nutrient management.
