Hassas Tarımda Kablosuz Algılayıcı Ağların Kullanımı ve Uygulama Alanlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Tarımsal faaliyetlerde insan iş gücünün azaltılması, çiftçi refahını sağlarken, üretimin daha verimli ve kaliteli yapılmasını da sağlamaktadır. Özellikle bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerin tarım kesiminde kullanımı kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Kablosuz haberleşme sistemlerinde son yıllarda yaşanan hızlı gelişmeler kablosuz ağlar da dâhil olmak üzere pek çok alanda yeni teknolojilerin kullanılabilirliğini mümkün kılmıştır. Geleneksel kablosuz ağlardan farklı olarak kablosuz algılayıcı ağlar (KAA) fiziksel olguları gözetlemek üzere algıladığı veriyi işleyebilen ve birbirleri ile kablosuz ortamda haberleşebilen algılayıcı düğümlerden oluşur. KAA pek çok sivil ve askeri alanda olduğu gibi sulama, gübreleme, ilaçlama vb. tarımsal proseslerin yönetimi için hassas tarım alanında da görev yapabilirler. Bu şekilde KAA yardımıyla üretim miktarı ve ürün kalitesinin artırılması sağlanabilir. Bu çalışmada hassas tarım alanında KAA kullanımı incelenerek literatürde yer alan çeşitli tarımsal uygulamalar gözden geçirilmiştir

Employment of the Wireless Sensor Networks in Precision Agriculture and Investigation of the Application Areas

Abstract

Agricultural activities to reduce the human work force, well-being of farmers, while also making

production more efficient and provides quality. Developments in information and communication technologies,

especially the use of the agricultural sector was inevitable. In recent years, rapid developments in wireless communication

systems have made it possible the availability of new technologies in many areas including wireless networks.

Unlike traditional wireless networks, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes to observe

the physical phenomena that can process the data and communicating with each other in a wireless environment.

WSNs can serve many civilian and military areas as well as in the precision agriculture for the management of

agricultural processes such as irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides and similar applications. In this way, the amount of

production and product quality can be increased with the help of WSNs. In this study, we examine the use of the

WSNs in precision agriculture in the literature and it is reviewed that various agricultural applications.
