Abstract

The habitat of the Great Bustard (Otis tarda,
Linnaeus, 1758) in our country, due to the change of
agricultural land to the natural and secondary steppe, nowadays constitutes
mostly farmland. In addition to the pest control in the field of agriculture
and indirectly to get more products from agricultural areas, wide variety of pesticides
(Herbicides, Rodenticides, Insecticides, etc.) are used. In this study, it
has been aimed to identify what agricultural pesticides are used in the living
areas of the species and based on these findings the possible effects on this
species are compared with the previous literature. This study was carried out in Eskişehir
Aliken Important Nature Area and Kütahya Altıntaş Wildlife Development Area
between March 2013 and May 2017. During the field survey in the habitat of
great bustard, it was determined that 13 different active ingredients of
herbicide, 3 different active ingredients of insecticide, and 2 different
active ingredients of fungicide were used and these pesticides’ photographs were
taken and coordinates were noted. Finally, the written articles on the determined
pesticide active ingredients were scanned and potential impacts on these
endangered species are discussed.

Eskişehir ve Kütahya’daki Toy Kuşu (Otis tarda, Linnaeus, 1758)’nun Yaşam Alanlarında Kullanılan Tarımsal İlaçlar

Abstract

Ülkemizde Toy Kuşu (Otis tarda, Linnaeus, 1758)’nun yaşam alanları, doğal ve ikincil bozkırların
tarım alanlarına dönüştürülmesinden dolayı, günümüzde çoğunlukla tarım
arazileri oluşturmaktadır. Yine günümüzde tarım alanlarındaki zararlılarla
mücadele etmek ve dolaylı olarak tarım alanlarından daha fazla ürün almak için
çok çeşitli tarım ilaçları (Herbisit, Rodentisit, İnsektisit vb.)
kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bu türün yaşam alanları içerisinde kullanılan
tarım ilaçlarının neler olduğu belirlenerek elde edilen bulgularla literatür
karşılaştırması da yapılarak bu ilaçların bu tür üzerindeki olası etkilerinin
tartışılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma, Mart 2013-Mayıs 2017 tarihleri arasında
Eskişehir ili Aliken Önemli Doğa Alanı (ÖDA) ve Kütahya İli Altıntaş Yaban
Hayatı Geliştirme Sahası (YHGS) içinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan arazi
çalışmaları sırasında Toy kuşunun yaşam alanları içinde kullanılan 13 farklı
herbisit aktif maddesi, 3 farklı insektisit aktif maddesi ve 2 farklı fungisit
aktif maddesi belirlenmiş, fotoğraflanmış ve koordinatları alınmıştır. Son
olarak belirlenen bu tarımsal ilaçların etken maddeleri üzerine yapılan
makaleler taranmış ve nesli tehlikede olan bu tür üzerine oluşturacağı olası
etkileri tartışılmıştır.
