Özet:

 The rapid increase in the world population and meeting the food needs of the increasing population is one of the most important problems of all countries in the world. The application of new inputs and techniques has come to the fore in order to meet the food needs of the increasing population and to avoid the problem of hunger. In this context, agricultural pesticides have begun to be used as new inputs in order to obtain quality and abundant products. While the use of agricultural pesticides increases quality and efficiency, it also harms human health and the natural environment over time. When the agricultural sector is evaluated from an environmental perspective, it is both affected by the pesticides used and affects the environment in the long term. The aim of this study is to investigate the environmental effects of pesticides used in agricultural production on agricultural greenhouse gases nitrous oxide and methane in the context of BRICS countries with data for the period 1990-2019. In the study, the relationship between variables was investigated using dynamic panel data methods. Panel unit root and panel cointegration tests were used to make the estimates. According to the estimation results, it was determined that the long-term coefficient of pesticide sales for nitrous oxide emissions across the panel was not statistically significant, while the long-term coefficient of pesticide sales for methane emissions was statistically significant. Accordingly, a 1 increase in pesticide sales in BRICS countries increases methane gas emissions by 0.15. When evaluated on a country basis, it was concluded that the sale of pesticides affects nitrous oxide and methane emissions at different levels.

 Dünya nüfusunun hızla artması ve artan nüfusun gıda ihtiyacının karşılanması tüm dünya ülkelerinin en önemli problemlerinden birisidir. Artan nüfusun gıda ihtiyacının karşılanması ve açlık sorununun yaşanmaması için yeni girdi ve tekniklerin uygulanması gündeme gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda kaliteli ve bol ürün elde etmek amacıyla yeni girdiler olarak tarımsal ilaçlar kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Tarımsal ilaçların kullanımı kaliteyi ve verimliliği artırırken, zamanla insan sağlığına ve doğal çevreye de zarar vermektedir. Tarım sektörü çevresel açıdan değerlendirildiğinde hem kullanılan tarımsal ilaçlardan etkilenmekte hem de uzun dönemde çevreyi etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı tarım üretiminde kullanılan tarım ilaçlarının çevreye olan etkilerini tarımsal sera gazları nitröz oksit ve metan üzerinden 1990-2019 dönemi verileri ile BRICS ülkeleri bağlamında araştırmaktır. Çalışmada değişkenler arasındaki ilişkisi dinamik panel veri yöntemleri ile araştırılmıştır. Tahminlerin yapılmasında panel birim kök ve panel eş bütünleşme testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Tahmin sonuçlarına göre, panel genelinde nitröz oksit emisyonları için tarım ilacı satışlarının uzun dönem katsayısının istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı, metan emisyonları için tarım ilacı satışlarının uzun dönem katsayılarının ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Buna göre BRICS ülkelerinde tarım ilacı satışında 1lik artış metan gazı emisyonlarını 0.15 arttırmaktadır. Ülkeler bazında değerlendirildiğinde tarım ilaçları satışının nitröz oksit ve metan emisyonlarını farklı düzeylerde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
