Trakya Bölgesinde Tarımsal Mekanizasyon Düzeyinin İllere Göre Belirlenmesi

Abstract

In this study, agricultural mechanization indicators of Turkey, Thrace Region, Edirne, Kirklareli and Tekirdag provinces has calculated for 2008 - 2017. The changes in the mechanization level has examined and comparisons was made. By using trend analysis, the tractor power per agricultural area for 2018-2023 was estimated. In the last 10 years, number of tractors per 1000 ha has increased 27.9% in Turkey, 3.7% in Thrace region, 13.9% in Edirne and 6.1% in Kirklareli but it has decreased 5.8% in Tekirdag province. This is due to the fact that the rate of increase in the number of tractors in the Tekirdag province was not as high as the rate of increase in the agricultural area. Tractor power per agricultural area in Turkey is constantly increasing. While it was 1.63 kW/ha in 2008, it was 2.12 kW/ha in 2017. In Thrace region while it was 2.62 kW/ha in 2008. it has increased to 2.80 kW/ha in 2017. While tools/machines per tractor was 7.68 and 9.18 in Turkey and in Th race region, respectively, for 2008, it. was 7.26 and 9.24 in Turkey and Thrace region, respectively for 2017. There is an increase in tools/machines per tractor in Edirne and Kirklareli provinces because of the number of cools/machines increased more than those of tractors. According to the trend analysis results. it is estimated that the tractor power in the area will be 3.01 kW/ha in 2023 in the Thrace region.
