Situated on the most favorable climate for viticulture in the world, Turkey has a very old and rich aquaculture potential with a deep-rooted culture of viticulture. the vineyard area and production values are among the top six countries in the world Turkey, viticulture and core seedless raisins in the first degree and second degree is characterized by the production of table grapes. Tokat province is one of the most important wine-growing areas in Turkey. Viticulture is successfully done in areas between 230 m and 1000 m altitude. Total vineyard area in Tokat province is 6084 hectares. Tokat, in terms of vineyard area in Turkey, ranks 31. In terms of production. 39.8% of the vineyard areas in the Center, Market and Turhal; 33.2% in Erbaa and Niksar; 26.7% are in Zile. Approximately 50% of the grapes produced in Tokat region are evaluated as table, 25% molasses, 20% alcoholic beverages and 5% as keme. In this study carried out in order to reveal the current status of viticulture producers in the central district of Tokat province; The main population of the study consisted of 3 villages (Emirseyit, Güryıldız, Büyükyıldız) in Kazova Region, which were selected as the research region.

This study was carried out between 2014 and 2017 in Erzincan province Turkey. Our aim was to test pathogenesis of soil isolated entomopathogenic fungi from Erzincan and the Myzus persicae (Sulzer), (Homoptera: Aphididae). A total of 78 entomopathogenic fungi isolates including 63 Beauveria bassiana and 15 Metarhizium anisopliae were obtained. Our study was followed by incubation for 12 days and the first cases were seen on the third day. It was recorded that B. bassiana isolates caused the highest mortality rate on the 3rd day (BbEMRKZ2a, 10.50%); 5th day (BbEMRKZ5b and BbEÜ3, 22.39%); 7th day (MaEM3i, 45.71); 9th day (BbEMRKZ1a and BbER4, 50.00%), and after 12 days (BbEİ5, 62.54%).

Diğer bir değişle çevre bir canlının olduğu ortam ya da şartlardır ve yeryüzünde ilk canlı ile birlikte var olmuştur. Yani çevrenin temelindeki odak noktasında insan oturmaktadır. Çevre ve çevrecilik olgusu, 20. Yüzyılın sonlarına doğru kirlenen dünyamızda olduğu gibi ülkemizde de gündemin ilk sırasını işgal etmektedir. Çevre olgusunun her geçen gün artması, ülkemiz açısından sevindirici bir durumdur. Anayasamızın 56. maddesinde “Herkes sağlıklı ve dengeli bir çevrede yaşama hakkına sahiptir.

  • Geothermal Application Experiences in Turkey
    GEOTHERMAL APPLICATION EXPERIENCES IN TURKEY Orhan Mertoglu, Nilgun Bakir, Tevfik Kaya ORME Jeotermal A.S., Ankara/Turkey; Hosdere Cad. 190/7-8-12,Cankaya, [email protected] Keywords: Turkey, geothermal heating, balneology, electricity, mineral recovery Abstract Utilization area of geothermal energy is mostly focussed on direct use applications in Turkey. Today 61.000 residences equivalence is being heated geothermally (665 MWt, including residences, thermal facilities, 565.000 m2 greenhouse heating). Moreover, with the balneological utilisation of geothermal fluids in 195 spa’s (327 MWt), the geothermal direct use capacity is 992 MWt. ORME Geothermal Inc has completed the engineering designs of nearly 300.000 residences equivalence geothermal district heating system. 170 geothermal fields (Figure 1) have been explored in Turkey. There is a single flash power plant with 20,4 MWe installed capacity. A liquid CO2 and dry ice production factory is integrated to this power plant. A binary cycle geothermal power plant with an installation capacity of 25 MWe is going to be constructed at Aydin/Germencik. The proven geothermal heat capacity according to the existing geothermal wells and natural discharges is 3132 MWt [1]. 1. INTRODUCTION There are 11 city based geothermal district heating systems in Turkey. These geothermal district heating systems have been constructed since 1987 and many development has been achieved in technical and economical aspects. The rapid development of geothermal district heating systems in Turkey is mostly depending on; - construction of suitable geothermal district heating systems according to Turkey’s conditions, - participation of the consumers to the geothermal district heating investments by about 50 % without any direct financing refund, - geothermal heating is about % 50-70 cheaper than natural gas heating.

Th ese two faulting events are separated by a 10-km-wide releasing stepover, which acted like a seismic barrier in the 20th century. To understand the rupture behaviour in this structurally complex section of the North Anatolian Fault, we undertook palaeoseismological trench investigations on the Kelkit Valley segment where there is little or no palaeoseismic information. We found evidence for three surface faulting earthquakes predating the 1939 event during the past millennium in trenches excavated in Reşadiye and Umurca.

Methods: A total of 1010 tick samples which were Yöntem: Çorum yöresinde insanlar üzerinden collected on humans identified to species level in toplanan 1.010 adet kene toplanarak morfolojik terms of the morphological characters. Total DNA’s karakterlerine göre tür teşhisleri yapılmıştır. Bu individually extracted from ticks were screened for the örneklerden bireysel olarak elde edilen total DNA’lar presence of Spotted Fever Group rickettsiae using the riketsiyal sitrat sentaz (gltA, 381 bp) ve dış membran PCR targeting rickettsial citrate synthase (gltA, 381 bp) protein A (ompA, 532 bp) gen bölgelerini hedefleyen and outer membrane protein (ompA, 532 bp) genes. primer setleri kullanılarak PZR yöntemi ile taranmıştır. Results: Out of 741 Hyalomma marginatum ticks Bulgular: Çorum ilinde insanlar üzerinden collected from humans in Çorum Province, 51 (6.88%) toplanan 741 Hyalomma marginatum örneğinin 51 were infected Rickettsia aeschlimannii, 3 (0.4%) were (%6,88)’inde Rickettsia aeschlimannii, 3 (%0,4)’ünde infected Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae. Out Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae; 32 Dermacentor of 32 Dermacentor marginatus ticks, 3 (9.4%) were marginatus örneğinin 3 (%9,4)’ünde Rickettsia infected Rickettsia raoultii and 3 (9.4%) were infected raoultii, 3 (%9,4)’ünde Rickettsia slovaca varlığı tespit Rickettsia slovaca.
