Abstract

In this study, the Web-Based Remote Agricultural Struggle and Counseling Application, which was developed within the Agriculture 4.0 approach for the spread of agricultural technologies and the use of technology in agriculture, has been discussed with the technical personnel who are experts in the field, and what improvements should be made regarding the application. In the study, literature review was made, agricultural consultancy, smart agriculture and the use of digital technologies in agriculture were discussed. The Web Based Remote Agricultural Control and Consultancy Application designed in this study was developed with the Python programming language. The development and operation of the application is presented in the form of screenshots. In the research, user opinions of the application were collected through a form consisting of 4 questions to measure demographic information and a qualitative question consisting of 7 main titles and 28 sub-titles to measure the opinions of technical personnel about the application, which was prepared by taking expert opinions. The data obtained from the research users were analyzed with the Nvivo 12 program. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the development of web-based agricultural control and consultancy application for technical personnel is appropriate, the interface design should be improved, and it will contribute positively to the dissemination of technology use in agriculture.
