THE ROLE OF HAZELNUTS (CORYLUS AVELLANA L.) FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE AGROECOSYSTEM
Abstract
Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) belongs to the Betulaceae family and is a popular tree nut worldwide. Hazelnuts are grown around the world and require a mild temperate climate. Today, the most popular hazelnut tree is grown mainly in Europe and in Asia Minor, with Turkey and Italy as the leading producers. In Turkey, hazelnut cultivation plays an important role in economic, environmental and rural development. It is one of the primary cash crops for many farmers, especially in the Black Sea region. Hazelnut crops are also beneficial in that they protect the land against erosion. Hazelnuts are hardy plants with large fibrous root systems that are excellent for soil and water conservation, and at the same time help to control floods. The tree species can also function as a windbreak of agricultural fields. Cultivation of hazelnuts in rows makes it possible to grow annual crops in the alleys formed between the rows, which is also additional income for the farmer, as the soil is improved, biodiversity in the agrocenosis is increased. A very important feature of the hazelnut is that the well-developed, highly branched root system, the main part of which is located at a depth of 20- 40 cm, is especially suitable for growing summer black truffles (Tuber melanosporum Vitt., Périgord black truffle).
