The
monitoring of the crops and the need for spraying pesticides at the correct
moment and at the exact location of plants is an important parameter to
increase the productivity and quality of the wheats. Agricultural drones are
one of the important innovations for increasing productivity of the crops. The aim of this study
was to compare the successful
drones usage pesticide spraying and non-using drones spraying pesticide in huge
crop fileds and find out the effects of the yield
components of wheat, such as plant height, spike length, number of spikelets
per spike, number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike, 1000-grain
weight, grain yield and wheat quality charachters such as protein
contnent, gluten, zeleny sedimentation volume and hectoliter. The experiment
was conducted in Kestel/Çataltepe region, in Bursa/Türkiye during 2022-23 crop
season. Two seperated fields which one of is 250 decare huge. Winter wheat
“Adana-99” used as the experimental material.
As a result of the research, it was determined that the components that got
from the field which is the successful drones usage pesticide spraying in
spring (April) has significant differences among
the components that got from the field which is the non-using drones and
didn’t had change to sprayin pesticide in spring time (because of heavy rainy
weather conditions). The results showed that number
of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike,
1000-grain weight, grain yield protein content, zeleny sedimentation
volume, hectoliter were observed the higher degrees and affected positively
more by spraying pesticide in spring (April) than the others components. There is a considerable amount of variation
in the some yield and quality components, of wheat. This variation may be
induced by environmental factors, but can also be attributed to right time
pesticide spraying programme by drones.
