| description | Studies related with soil loss due to crop harvesting have been recently included in soil erosion
investigations. Harvest of root crops like sugar beet causes significant soil loss. This study was conducted to
determine soil loss and to estimate the economic value of related losses of plant nutrients during 2005. Soil
losses were compiled from the reports of the General Directorate of the Turkish Sugar Industry. According to
these reports, 47 866 t soil per year was transported from sugar beet fields in Ankara province, for which
economic value of plant nutrients was estimated to be US$ 204 158. The estimated values for Turkey are
approximately 951 000 t and 4 056 203 US$ for soil loss and the economic value of lost N, P, and K. |
