Among Turkish universities, Sivas Cumhuriyet University is setting new standards in agricultural production. Faculty member Volkan Yoruk's AI-powered glass greenhouse project is garnering a lot of interest due to its sustainable agriculture methodology and technology infrastructure.
Sivas Cumhuriyet University is building a glass greenhouse project driven by AI. Strawberries will be grown in the 250-square-meter greenhouse, while grape tomatoes will be grown in the 500-square-meter greenhouse. Most remarkably, AI-powered computer systems will oversee about 1,500 plants. As a result, the project is the first of its sort to be carried out at a Turkish institution.
In addition to concentrating on output, the initiative offers an eco-friendly method of controlling pests and diseases. Chemical pesticides will be replaced with biological control techniques, and beneficial insects will be used to organically control pests. Students in the Department of Plant and Animal Production receive firsthand knowledge about greenhouse production thanks to the glass greenhouse project. By actively participating in the project, students may be able to land jobs with affiliated businesses. Sivas Cumhuriyet University is leading the way in Turkey in sustainable farming techniques and promoting scientific innovation with this project.
