Orta Karadeniz Bafra Ovası'ndaki Çeltik Üreticilerinin Akıllı Tarım Uygulamalarına İlişkin Farkındalığının Araştırılması

Abstract

Türkiye'nin kuzeyindeki çeltik tarlaları, en fazla buğday ve baklagil üretiminin yapıldığı Orta Karadeniz Bölgesi'ndeki Bafra Ovası'nda yoğunlaşmaktadır. Türkiye'nin en uzun nehri Kızılırmak Bafra Ovası'na akmaktadır. Bu nedenle ülkemizde en verimli toprakların Bafra Ovası ve çevresinde olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Bafra Ovası'nda yer alan çeltik üreticilerinin akıllı tarım uygulamalarına ilişkin farkındalıklarının belirlenmesidir. Ovada arazi araştırması yapılmış ve sonuçları analiz edilmiştir. Eylül 2024'te farklı köylerden gelen toplam 150 katılımcıyla görüşmeler gerçekleştirildi. Çiftçilerin %44'ünün her birinin 100 dekardan fazla çeltik tarlası vardı. Araştırma sonunda çarpıcı sonuçlara ulaşıldı. Farkındalık düzeyleri ve nedenleri belirlendi. Akıllı tarım araçlarına yönelik farkındalık ise oldukça düşüktü. Ancak, umut verici bir şekilde çiftçilerin (%3.3) çeltik tarımında akıllı tarım uygulamalarının gelecek için önemli olduğunu ve önemli olmaya devam edeceğini ifade etmiştir.

Surveying the Awareness of Smart Agriculture Practices among Paddy Producers in Bafra Plain in Mid-Black Sea

Abstract

Paddy fields in the northern part of Turkey are concentrated in the Bafra Plain in Mid-Black Sea region, where the highest wheat and leguminous production is performed. Turkey's longest river, Kızılırmak, flows into the Bafra plain. For this reason, it can be said that the most fertile lands in our country are in Bafra Plain and its surroundings. The aim of the present study is to determine the awareness of paddy producers located in the Bafra Plain about smart agriculture applications. A field survey has been conducted at the plain and the results were analyzed. Interviews were conducted in September 2024 with a total of 150 participants coming from different villages. 44% of farmers had more than 100 da paddy field each. At the end of the research some striking results were obtained. The level of awareness along with their reasons were determined. Awareness of smart agricultural tools was low at all. But, hopefully (3.3%) of farmers declared that the smart agriculture practices is and will keep on being important for the future in rice farming.
