Course Goal / Objective
Today the spread of digital technologies in all areas of life, agricultural production also takes place unique digital technological products to serve many different purposes. One of the most important uses of digital technologies in agriculture is the prevention of unnecessary use of pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, water and energy, which constitute the basic agricultural inputs, thus increasing the quality and productivity in production as well as reducing costs. It is aimed to inform students about digital agriculture and create an infrastructure with basic application examples.
Course Content
Meteorological farming stations used for agricultural prediction and early warning, plant development tracking systems, disease / pest diagnosis and early warning systems against them, yield prediction, Internet of Things, which is the communication network where physical objects are connected with each other or larger systems (Internet of Things, in short IoT) introducing the sensors, equipment and technologies used during the delivery of information on animal health and herd management and action suggestions and intervention systems in animal production, so that many processes and activities related to production are planned and executed in a more accurate and timely manner within the framework of instant data
