Description

[0001] A SYSTEM FOR MANAGING IRRIGATION AND FERTILIZATION SYSTEMS OF AGRICULTURAL FIELDS

[0002] Technical Field:

[0003] The present invention relates to a system for managing irrigation and fertilization systems of agricultural fields, which can be used in agricultural enterprises, farms, and agricultural cooperatives.

[0004] State of the Art:

[0005] Agricultural productivity and sustainability problems are often solved by traditional methods. Farmers irrigate and fertilize based on their experience, and fight diseases by manually tracking climate data.

[0006] Manual irrigation systems, disease diagnoses based on individual observations, and general agricultural guidelines among the solutions available have many disadvantages. These solutions are often time-consuming, inefficient and have a high margin of error. Furthermore, the failure to plan agricultural activities based on scientific data threatens environmental sustainability. Major disadvantages include the inability of traditional methods to adapt quickly to regional climate changes and to provide the detailed analysis necessary to improve productivity. This leads to instability in agricultural production, yield loss, and environmental problems.

[0007] The effects of soil types on agricultural production are not sufficiently taken into account and productivity decreases. The impacts of climate change on agricultural production are not sufficiently analyzed and measures are not taken. Inefficient use of water resources in agriculture leads to water waste and negative impact on agricultural production. Failure to diagnose agricultural diseases early leads to crop losses and economic damages. Incorrect or excessive use of fertilizers reduces soil quality and adversely affects the health of plants.

[0008] As a result, there is a need for a new technology that can overcome the above- mentioned disadvantages, increase productivity in agricultural activities, eliminate sustainability problems, and solve technical problems such as lack of information, disease and fertilizer management problems, and inadequacy of data-based decision support systems.

[0009] Definition of the Invention:

[0010] The present invention is a system for managing irrigation and fertilization systems of agricultural fields, which can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above; and is characterized by a new technology that increases productivity in agricultural activities, eliminates sustainability problems, and solves technical problems such as lack of information, disease and fertilizer management problems, and inadequacy of data- based decision support systems.

[0011] Factors such as agricultural producers' lack of sufficient knowledge about regional agricultural data, climatic conditions and appropriate irrigation techniques, the threat of traditional methods to environmental sustainability, lack of knowledge about plant diseases and fertilizer use, and the lack of decision support systems based on scientific data negatively affect agricultural productivity. This project provides a comprehensive solution to manage agriculture and irrigation systems in a more efficient, sustainable and, scientific data-based manner, increase agricultural production, ensure environmental sustainability, and contribute to regional agricultural analysis.

[0012] This invention is a system developed to increase agricultural productivity and sustainability. Its technical interest is in the agricultural sector, particularly in irrigation management, fertilization optimization, climate data analysis, and early detection of agricultural diseases. The invention aims to make effective use of water resources, to protect plant health, and to increase overall agricultural production by making agricultural activities more efficient and environmentally friendly. It also allows for customized irrigation plans and fertilization strategies based on climate data and soil types. Thus, agriculture is supported by scientific data and carried out in a more sustainable and efficient manner.

[0013] The main objective of this invention is to increase productivity and support sustainable agricultural practices by optimizing the use of water and resources in the agricultural sector. This system aims to protect water resources, optimize fertilizer use, prevent agricultural diseases, and increase overall agricultural productivity by ensuring that correct and efficient decisions are made at every stage of agricultural production.

[0014] With the invention, efficient use of water is ensured with regional irrigation plans and water resources management, water waste is minimized, and the amount of water needed by plants is supplied correctly.

[0015] By analyzing the relationships between fertilizer types and agricultural diseases with the invention, the most suitable fertilizer types for plants are determined and fertilizer use is optimized.

[0016] In the system of the invention, early diagnosis of diseases and effective intervention strategies have been developed by monitoring and analyzing the relationships between agricultural products and diseases.

[0017] Thanks to the invention, with the detailed analysis of climate data, agricultural strategies are developed in accordance with the climate conditions specific to the region and agricultural production is adapted to climate changes. By analyzing soil types, agricultural techniques and products suitable for each region are determined and soil productivity is increased.

[0018] This invention integrates water, fertilizer, soil, and climate data in the agricultural sector, enabling agricultural production to be carried out more efficiently and sustainably.

[0019] This invention saves on water and fertilizer use, reducing costs and increasing product efficiency. It provides economic gain to farmers by reducing crop losses with early diagnosis of diseases and climate-compatible agricultural strategies. It supports sustainable agriculture by increasing soil fertility and minimizes environmental impacts. In addition, thanks to integrated data analysis, it evaluates water, fertilizer, soil, and climate data together, paving the way for more conscious agricultural practices.

[0020] The invention responds to the specific needs of each region by developing regional and climate-compatible agriculture strategies. It provides effective intervention with early detection of diseases and pests, thus reducing product losses and costs. By performing integrated data analysis, it offers a holistic management in terms of resource use and productivity. This systematic approach increases productivity in agriculture, ensures more effective use of resources, and encourages sustainable agricultural practices.
