İklim Değişikliği Bağlamında Arpa Tarlalarında İHA Tabanlı Akıllı İzleme ve Yönetim Sistemleri

Öz

İklim değişikliğinin tarımsal üretim üzerindeki etkileri, özellikle kuraklık, aşırı sıcaklık ve besin maddesi eksiklikleri gibi stres faktörlerinin sıklığı ve şiddetinin artmasıyla daha belirgin hâle gelmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, arpa (Hordeum vulgare L.) gibi stratejik tahıl ürünlerinde sürdürülebilir üretim modellerine duyulan ihtiyaç giderek artmaktadır. Arpanın görece kuraklığa dayanıklı yapısına rağmen, uzun süreli çevresel stres koşullarının verim ve kaliteyi olumsuz etkilediği bilinmektedir. Son yıllarda tarımsal izleme ve yönetim süreçlerinde öne çıkan insansız hava araçları (İHA), özellikle kuraklık, ısı stresi ve azot eksikliği gibi sorunların erken safhada belirlenmesinde etkili araçlar olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Multispektral ve termal sensörlerle donatılan İHA sistemleri, uzaktan algılama ve yapay zekâ destekli analizlerle entegre edilerek karar destek mekanizmalarına veri sağlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, İHA tabanlı akıllı tarım uygulamalarının arpa üretiminde çevresel streslerin izlenmesi ve yönetimi üzerindeki potansiyeli tartışılmakta, iklim değişikliğine uyumlu üretim stratejileri çerçevesinde teknolojik olanaklar ile arazi kullanımı ve mülkiyet boyutu ele alınmıştır.

UAV-Based Smart Monitoring and Management Systems in Barley Fields in the Context of Climate Change

Öz

The effects of climate change on agricultural production have become increasingly evident, particularly with the rising frequency and intensity of stress factors such as drought, extreme heat, and nutrient deficiencies. In this context, there is a growing need for sustainable production models in strategic cereal crops like barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Although barley is relatively tolerant to drought, prolonged exposure to environmental stress conditions is known to negatively impact both yield and quality. In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained prominence in agricultural monitoring and management processes, offering effective tools for the early detection of critical issues such as drought, heat stress, and nitrogen deficiency. Equipped with multispectral and thermal sensors, UAV systems provide high-resolution data that can be integrated with remote sensing and artificial intelligence-based analytical tools to support decision-making processes. Accordingly, the potential of UAV-based smart farming applications for monitoring and managing environmental stresses in barley production is examined, with technological opportunities, land use, and property rights discussed within the framework of climate change–adaptive production strategies.
