Özet:

 In this study; The applicability of the drip irrigation method in corn production in terms of the sustainability of soil and water resources was examined. The research was carried out by making a survey with 105 producers in Adana. Obtained survey data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. As a result of the chi-square test used in the analysis of the factors affecting the corn farming activities according to the annual agricultural income levels of the producers; It has been determined that there is a statistically significant difference between income status and corn production experience, the frequency of meeting with the Provincial-District Directorates of Agriculture, the production of silage and grain corn, the total land they cultivate, the use of fertilizer support in corn production and the willingness to participate in trainings on irrigation methods. The rate of preference for drip irrigation method is very low in the research area. Since farmers prefer the flood irrigation method more in corn production, they accept the idea that the same method is correct in increasing corn yield. The number of producers who want to participate in training studies on irrigation techniques and methods in corn is high. In this respect, it will be important to transfer the role of drip irrigation method in reducing the production cost and increasing the yield of corn to the producers through experts and institutions.

 Bu çalışmada; mısır üretiminde toprak ve su kaynaklarının sürdürülebilirliği açısından damla sulama yönteminin uygulanabilirliği incelenmiştir. Araştırma Adana ilinde 105 üretici ile anket yapılarak yürütülmüştür. Elde edilen anket verileri tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve Ki-kare testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Üreticilerin yıllık tarımsal gelir düzeylerine göre mısır yetiştiriciliği faaliyetlerini etkileyen faktörlerin analizinde kullanılan Ki-kare testi sonucunda; gelir düzeyi ile mısır üretim tecrübe süreleri, Tarım ve Orman İl-İlçe Müdürlükleriyle görüşme sıklıkları, silajlık, danelik mısır üretme durumları, toplam işledikleri arazi, mısır üretiminde gübre desteğinden yararlanma ve sulama yöntemlerine ilişkin eğitimlere katılmayı isteme durumları arasında istatistiki açıdan anlamlı bir farklılığın olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırma bölgesinde damla sulama yöntemini tercih etme oranı çok düşüktür. Çiftçiler mısır üretiminde salma sulama yöntemini daha fazla tercih ettiği için mısır verimini artırmada yine aynı yöntemin doğru olduğu fikrini kabul etmektedirler. Mısırda sulama teknikleri ve yöntemleri konusunda eğitim çalışmalarına katılmak isteyen üretici sayısı fazladır. Bu açıdan özellikle damla sulama yönteminin üretim maliyetinin azalmasında ve mısır veriminin artmasındaki rolünün alanında uzman kişi ve kurumlar aracılığıyla üreticilere aktarılması önemli olacaktır.
