Tarımda Drone Kullanımı ve Geleceği

Abstract

Tarım, yaşamın sürdürebilmesi için hayati bir faaliyet alanı olmakla birlikte, tarım dışı diğer sektörlere hammadde sağlaması, milli gelir ve istihdama katkısı nedeniyle de stratejik bir faaliyet alanıdır. Teknolojinin hızla gelişmesiyle ortaya çıkan yeni teknikler veya cihazların tarımda kullanılması tarımsal uygulamaların daha kolay ve etkin yapılabilmesini sağlamaktadır. Son yıllardaki en popüler teknolojik gelişmelerden biri olan drone’ların tarımda kullanımı yaygınlaşmakta ve yeni uygulama alanlarının da eklenmesiyle daha da popüler hale gelmektedir. Drone’ların popüler olması ve tarımda kullanımı, tarım dışı farklı disiplinlerden olanların da ilgisini çekmektedir. Farklı disiplinlerde olanların tarım konusundaki bazı teknik bilgilerinin yetersiz olmasından dolayı, drone’un tarımda kullanımı ile ilgili yanlış bilgiler veya efektif olmayan kullanımlar da oluşabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, drone ve bileşenleri, drone’un avantaj ve dezavantajları, drone ile kullanılabilen kamera ve sensörler hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Daha sonra günümüzde tarımda drone kullanım alanları örnek uygulamalar ile açıklanmış ve gelecekte tarımda drone kullanımı ile öngörüler sunulmuştur. Ayrıca drone’un tarımda kullanımı ile bazı yanlış bilgiler ve efektif olmayan kullanımlar hakkında açıklamalar yapılmıştır.

Use of Drones in Agriculture and Its Future

Abstract

Agriculture is both a vital sector of activity for the sustainability of life and strategic field of activity for provides raw materials to non-agricultural sectors and contributes to national income and employment. The use of new techniques or devices in agriculture, which emerged with the rapid development of technology, makes agricultural applications easier and more effective. The use of drones in agriculture, which is one of the most popular technological developments in recent years, has become widespread and its use is increasing even more with the addition of new application areas. The popularity of drones and their use in agriculture also attract the attention of those from different disciplines other than agriculture. Due to the insufficient technical knowledge of those in different disciplines on agriculture, false information or ineffective use of drones in agriculture may occur. In this study, information is given about the drone and its components, the advantages and disadvantages of the drone, the cameras and sensors that can be used with the drone. Then, the use of drones in agriculture today is explained with sample applications and predictions are presented with the use of drones in agriculture in the future. In addition, explanations were made about the use of drones in agriculture, some misinformation and ineffective use.
