The Effects of Agricultural Machinery and End of Its Economic Life Tractors on The Environment
Öz
Agricultural machinery stands out with its economic, environmentally friendly, and social features. and plays an important role in sustainable agricultural production, but if the necessary precautions are not taken, the use and maintenance of these machines can have negative effects on the environment. The use of tractors that have completed their economic life causes significant environmental pollution as well as financial losses. The oils used in agricultural machinery can pollute the aquatic environment and soil as waste oil after a while, and exhaust emissions can pollute the air. It can also have negative effects on human health. Therefore, waste oils should be disposed of with the most effective and standardized treatment methods. In this study, the effects of agricultural machinery and tractors that have completed their economic life on the environment were investigated, and solution suggestions were presented. The most important results of the study are that carbon emissions, energy consumption, and waste should be reduced by using modern technologies. A comprehensive incentive program should be implemented during the renewal process of the tractor park.
