6	OBJECTIVE The Project will reduce, over the long-term, the discharge of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and other agricultural pollutants into the surface and ground waters of Turkey and the Black Sea through integrated land and water management and ecologically sustainable use of natural resources.
7	OBJECTIVE increasing the use of environmentally friendly agricultural practices and thereby reducing nutrient discharge particularly from agricultural sources to the Black Sea strengthening national policy and local regulatory capacity to meet European Union (EU) standards for agricultural nutrient pollution control
8	Main Components of the Agricultural Pollution Control in Blacksea Manure Management Nutrient Management Water and Soil Quality Monitoring Organic Farming Nitrate Directive Implementation
9	MANURE MANAGEMENT By October 20, 2007, a total of 126 farm type manure storage (for more than 10 cattle) and 77 household type manure stores (for up to 5 cattle) have been completed. Six large central manure storage and handling facilities, Samsun, Amasya, Tokat and in Çorum microcatchment have been completed. Machinery (container carriers, solid manure spreaders, manure mixers, liquid manure vacuum tankers and loader tractors have been procured and are in use.

33	SOIL AND MANURE ANALYSİS Project Provincial Teams were trained related to Soil Sampling Techniques. All needed chemical substances for analysis in the scope of the Project was provided to Soil and Fertilizer Research Institute. Soil and manure analysis was launched and 400 soil and 20 manure analysis from the project fields had been analyzed. Soil and manure analysis will be accelerated according to application of manure management.

37	Water and Soil Quality Monitoring The team has developed a detailed lab handbook for procedures so that analysis procedures by all labs are harmonized . The labs are provided with necessary chemicals and supplies, instrument capacity strengthened. Both regional and provincial labs are taking necessary samples and conducting water and soil analysis. The data gathered so far will be used to develop a baseline.
38	Water and Soil Quality Monitoring Within project microcatchments, there are 33 points for surface water samples, 32 points for ground water sampling and 2 points from natural fountains. Water is being analyzed monthly and quarterly for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity , suspended solids , nitrate, TN, TP and fecal coliform.

44	ORGANIC FARMING With respect to organic farming, the project organized training for 38 farmers and 32 provincial staff from the four project provinces in Izmir where organic fruit production is well established. Subsequently three training sessions were organized for training of the trainers on organic farming. An accredited control and certification services company had been contracted to initially help in organizing the organic fruit growing in the project area and later in certification.
45	ORGANIC FARMING 3 Organic walnut field had been established in 3 different microcatchments with 10 hectare, 1 hectare and 30 hectare dimensions. In a microcatchment, 40 hectares walnut field belong to 77 farmers, had been converted into Organic Farming. Interest to Organic Farming and related requests to Project Management continuously increases.

49	TRAINING In the scope of the project, inner personnel trainings and farmer trainings were carried out. In Project provinces, project provincial teams have been trained continuously. Besides, trainings related to project were not limited to the project provinces and participation from other provinces was provided. Until now, more than 800 farmers have been informed about the project, nitrate pollution and manure management. In the coming months, farmer trainings will focus on manure and nutrient management.
