Abstract

Today, the world population is in a rapid increase trend, the increase in population increases the need for shelter, and the increase in the demand for industrial production areas causes the pressure on agricultural areas to increase day by day. While agricultural areas are decreasing, people's demand for food is increasing day by day due to the increase in population. The poor social life conditions, especially in the villages, cause the labor force in agriculture to shift to cities, increase the rate of urbanization, and as a result, limit agricultural production. Current conditions have revealed the necessity of encouraging production increase by applying new production techniques. Urban farming, which has emerged in recent years, aims to contribute to the solution of problems and food supply.
One of the most important environmental factors in the growth and development of plants after germination is light. The use of artificial light sources in plant production can be used to support sunlight, as well as artificial light sources can be used in grow cabinets or cabinets without sunlight. Today, LED lighting plays an important role for plants in supplementary lighting with its features such as high light and energy efficiency, long service life, low heat generation. In this study, artificial light sources that we think we will have to use in the future and that have a remarkable effect in today's use in vegetable agriculture and the results of studies in this field have been compiled.

Sebze Tarımında Led Aydınlatma Kullanımı

Abstract

Günümüzde dünya nüfusu hızlı bir artış trendi içerisinde yer almakta olup, nüfus artışı barınma ihtiyacını artırmakta ve bununla birlikte sanayii üretim alanlarına olan talebin artması beraberinde tarım alanları üzerindeki baskının her geçen gün giderek artmasına neden olmaktadır. Tarım alanları azalırken, nüfus artışına bağlı olarak insanların gıdaya olan talebi de her geçen gün artış göstermektedir. Özellikle köylerin sahip olduğu zayıf sosyal hayat koşulları tarımdaki iş gücünün şehirlere kaymasına neden olmakta, kentleşme oranını artırmakta ve bunların neticesinde tarımsal üretim sınırlamaktadır. Mevcut koşullar yeni üretim tekniklerinin uygulanarak üretim artışının teşvik edilmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Son yıllarda ortaya çıkan kent çiftçiliği uğraşı oluşan sorunların çözümüne ve gıda arzına katkıda bulunmayı hedeflemektedir.
Bitkilerin çimlenmeden sonraki süreçte büyüme ve gelişmelerinde en önemli çevresel faktörlerden birisi ışıktır. Bitkisel üretimde yapay ışık kaynaklarının kullanımı güneş ışığını desteklemek amacıyla kullanılabildiği gibi, güneş ışığı olmayan yetiştirme kabinleri veya dolaplarında da yapay ışık kaynakları kullanılabilmektedir. LED aydınlatmalar günümüzde ışık ve enerji verimliliğinin yüksek olması, kullanım ömrünün uzun olması, ısı oluşumunun düşük olması gibi özellikleri ile ek aydınlatmada bitkiler için önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada gelecekte kullanmak zorunda olacağımızı düşündüğümüz ve günümüz sebze tarımında kullanımı dikkat çekici etkiye sahip yapay ışık kaynakları ve bu alanda yapılan çalışmaların sonuçları derlenmiştir.
