During the period of Republic - especially 1951-1960 agricultural lands and also fallow lands broadened. Then widening became slower but reached 8, 996.000 ha (hectometer) in 1972. Between the year 1982-1991 it dropped under five million ha (hectometer) by "the Projet of .Narrowing Fallow Lands" and recently almost remained same. 64% of total fallow lands in Turkey is situated in. Interior Anatolian Region, East Anatolian Region fallows it and the third one is the Black Sea Region. Konya had the widest fallow land In 1996 and the next Kayseri. There is no fallow land in Edirne, Trabzon, Rize and Kilis, In Turkey 18.87% of agricultural lands is left for fallowing and the fallow land rate of all provinces in Interior Anatolian Region, except Karaman is over than the average. Today, in this region fallowing is still very important and there are a lot of fallow lands. It is necessary to reduce fallow lands for an increase in agricultural production. For this reason watering is essential but it is difficult to do watering everywhere and everytime, so these fallow lands should be used beneficially.
