A time-varying, nonlinear soil-plant system contains many unknown elements that can be quantified based on analytical methodologies. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are a widely used mathematical computing, modelling, and predicting method that estimates unknown values of variables from known values of others. This paper aims to simulate relation...

In our country, agricultural activities are carried out on an area of 38482000 hectares. In our country, where different climates are seen, animal husbandry is done intensively. Some of the animal and herbal products produced are consumed in the country and some are exported and consumed abroad. Many agricultural wastes are generated during animal...

Energy has a strategic importance for all countries. To keep limited energy resources in proper use for a long time, the use of new energy and renewable energy resources should be expanded. Significant amounts of organic residues are produced every year in agricultural areas and agro-industrial activities. Evaluating biomass resources and bringing...

Turkey has a large agricultural area and produces 55-60 million tons of biomass waste/year. This study aimed to obtain bio-briquettes from three types of dried greenhouse wastes and to determine their strength parameters. A prototype of a mobile briquetting machine driven by power takeoff (PTO), with hydraulic pistons, and comprising a shredder and...

Soil compaction is one of the major problems of the agricultural sector affecting negatively the soil structure and impedes plant root growth. Soil penetration resistance should be measured from many points of the production land to determine the effects of plant growth problems. Collection of soil penetration values from huge lands is time-consumi...

In recent years, automatic vision based technology for the measurement of object sizes and volumes has become more potent and more important to many areas including agricultural fields, food industry, transportation, production, and forestry. This article presents an approach to orange size and volume measurement using Microsoft Kinect Camera. Alth...

Agricultural robotics is a rapidly developing field of study and it has revolutionized many aspects of agricultural applications. In many applications, robots need to navigate through unknown environments to achieve their goals. For this reason, mobile robots require a lot of data for which to localize and navigate themselves to entering the enviro...

Soil electrical resistivity (ER) is an important indicator to indirectly determine soil physical and chemical properties such as moisture, salinity, porosity, organic matter level, bulk density, and soil texture. In this study, real-time ER measurement system has been developed with the help of an autonomous robot. The aim of this study is to provi...

This study was determined to investigate the effect of seed bed preparation on microbial activities of soil by different soil tillage systems on peanuts production at Aksu, Antalya. These studies were carried out at Batı Akdeniz Research Institute within 2012-2014 years, in randomized blocks experimental design and used four different soil tillage...
