dc.description.abstractCotton has an important place among other industrial products in the world and in Turkey in terms ofholding the largest production area, a high export value, and it being a crucial input in the food and animal feedindustries. Turkey is the 7th largest cotton producer in the world, and the region of Hatay where the researchtook place, has an 11.54% share in Turkey’s total cotton production area. It has a 10.57% share in unseededcotton, cottonseed, and in fiber production in Turkey. The primary data of the study were obtained from 136agricultural enterprises with a 95% confidence interval and a 5% average deviation. In the enterprises thatwere examined, 7,767 tons of cotton unseed were produced in a 14,674 da area in 2016. The average cottonproduction area size was found as 108 da and the share of cotton production in the crop pattern was found as38.20%. In the research area, in order to produce 529.29 kg/da of cotton unseed; 2.6 kg seed, 64.9 kg fertilizer,0.85 lt agricultural pesticide, 40.5 lt diesel fuel, 641.7 kw electricity, and 2.7 labor force (manpower) were used.According to analysis results; there was a statistically significant difference at a level of 5% between small andlarge enterprises in terms of fertilizer, labor force, and electricity usage levels. Despite that there wasn’t anysignificant difference between harvest method (by handpicking or machinery) and yield; this result indicatesthat the enterprises which harvest by machinery gain more income compared to the ones which harvest byhand. There wasn’t any significant difference in terms of irrigation method (surface irrigation or drip irrigation)but there was a statistical difference at a level of 5% in terms of income. In other words, the enterprises whichuse the surface irrigation method gain more income compared to the ones which use the drip irrigationmethod.
