Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the producer behaviors in terms of the use of soil and sustainability. Material and Methods: The main material of the study is the questionnaires applied to 118 producers in Muğla province. Simple random sampling method was used. Results: The results of this study was to find out that the majority of the producers (85.6%) did not have land melioration and did not have crop rotation (%55.1). According to the multiple correspondence analysis, producers with low education level and income do not implement crop rotation. Most of the producers (77.1%) did not have soil analysis. The amount of pesticides applied by the producers and the frequency of implementation of pesticides is slightly higher than it should be. Although most of the producers are aware of the decrease in yield in their lands, they do not see a problem in their lands. This situation prevents them from making improvements in their lands. Conclusion: Producers make wrong implementations in the sustainable use of soil, melioration, crop rotation, fertilizer and pesticide use, and they need information and training on these issues.
