Determination of the Agricultural Structure and Agricultural Mechanization Levels of Agricultural Enterprises Producing Sunflower in Çorum Province

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to determine the mechanization status of the agricultural enterprises of the sunflower agriculture production in Çorum province. For this purpose, a survey was conducted in 253 enterprises in 10 villages in 2 districts where sunflower production were concentrated. The survey includes the presence of land of the producers of the region, the presence of tractor and agricultural machinery and knowledge of the sunflower production mechanization phases. In this study, the mechanization levels for sunflower productions of Çorum province were compared with Turkey. In addition, all mechanization practices from soil tillage application to harvest were examined for the sunflower production. As a result of the research, the values related to the level of mechanization of enterprises in the region; average land sizes were 10.35 ha; tractor power per cultivated area was as 3.99 kW for sunflower producer enterprises, the number of tractors per 1000 ha cultivated area is 92.77 tractors, the number of agricultural machinery per tractor was found as 5.2 number, the cultivated area per tractor area per tractor was obtained as 10.78 ha for sunflower producer enterprises. In the result of this study, the mechanization levels of the sunflower producer enterprises were found higher than Turkey's mechanization level.
