The main subject of our Institute's Agricultural Machinery Technologies and Informatics Department is agricultural mechanization systems, which are the basic technological input in the plant and animal production process. Agricultural machinery technologies cover the entire agricultural mechanization process, from soil preparation, seed sowing, fertilization and hoe cultivation processes to harvest/threshing and post-harvest processes. For this purpose, soil tillage equipment, hoeing equipment, sowing/planting and fertilization equipment, water abstraction machines/systems and harvesting/threshing machines constitute the main areas of our Department' s duty.
In addition to these, biomass/biowaste management machines and equipment, greenhouse technologies, internal agricultural mechanization, energy technologies and agricultural applications, and agricultural power and energy resources are among the areas of expertise of the Agricultural Machinery Technologies and Informatics Department. Today, in line with technological agriculture and smart agriculture developments, research is also carried out on IoT and GPS-based precision agriculture projects; early warning systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (drone) and robotic systems in our Institute.
In our institute, in addition to scientific research and projects carried out in the Department of Agricultural Machinery Technologies and Informatics, consultancy and joint/tailored projects can also be planned within the scope of public-private sector cooperation. On the other hand, it also participates in scientific events such as congresses, workshops and symposiums; and tries to strengthen academic cooperation networks with national and international universities. In addition, the Department of Agricultural Machinery Technologies and Informatics provides training to farmers on subjects within its scope of duty, in-service training to Ministry personnel and training to public institutions on different subjects in line with requests.
