A NEW BREAKTHROUGH in PRECISION AGRICULTURE

KOSGEB R & D project was carried out in order to conduct the infrastructure studies of PROVEA Remote Sensing and Sensitive Agricultural Decision Support System, and the studies on Recruitment and Damage / Disease detection for the Sultaniye grape species were done., in the measurements which were made by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on the vineyards of Sultaniye grape conducted in cooperation with Alaşehir District Directorate of Agriculture. In consequence of this study, the project was successfully completed with high accuracy.

After that, with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, a TAGEM project has been carried out within the scope of the studies on the re-interpretation of previous grape data with machine learning techniques and the development of PROVEA Remote Sensing Decision Support System. As a result of the successful results obtained in grape, the study has been continued with the collaboration of Manisa Viticulture Institute and the Izmir Olive Research Institute on the grape and olive fields in the Manisa region. The first phase of the study was completed and the measurements have been continued in Alaşehir, Gölmarmara, Turgutlu, Saruhanlı, Ahmetli and Akhisar districts of Manisa.

As a result of the interpretation of the results obtained in the harvest of grapes and olives, damage / disease detection studies are continuing successfully.
